Abstract of Proposed Collection
The export, temporary import, and
brokering of defense articles, defense
services, and related technical data are
licensed by the Directorate of Defense
Trade Controls (DDTC) in accordance
with the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (‘‘ITAR,’’ 22 CFR parts 120
through 130) and section 38 of the Arms
Export Control Act.
ITAR section126.18 eliminates,
subject to certain conditions, the
requirement for an approval by DDTC of
the transfer of unclassified defense
articles, which includes technical data,
to or within a foreign business entity,
foreign governmental entity, or
international organization that is an
authorized end-user or consignee
(including transfers to approved sublicensees) for defense articles, including
the transfer to dual nationals or thirdcountry nationals who are bona fide
regular employees directly employed by
the foreign consignee or end-user.
To use ITAR section126.18, effective
procedures must be in place to prevent
diversion to any destination, entity, or
for purposes other than those authorized
by the applicable export license or other
authorization. Those conditions can be
met by requiring a security clearance
approved by the host nation government
for its employees, or by the end-user or
consignee having in place a process to
screen all its employees and to have
executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement
that provides assurances that the
employee will not transfer any defense
articles to persons or entities unless
specifically authorized by the consignee
or end-user. ITAR section126.18(c)(2)

also provides that the technology
security/clearance plans and screening
records shall be made available to DDTC
or its agents for law enforcement
purposes upon request.
Methodology
When information kept on file
pursuant to this recordkeeping
requirement is required to be sent to the
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, it
may be sent electronically or by mail
according to guidance given by DDTC.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. FD 36646]
R. J. Corman Railroad Group, LLC and
R. J. Corman Railroad Company,
LLC—Continuance in Control
Exemption—Raleigh and Fayetteville
Railroad, LLC
R. J. Corman Railroad Group, LLC
(RJCG), and R. J. Corman Railroad
Company, LLC (RJCRC), noncarrier
holding companies (collectively,
Applicants), filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2) to
continue in control of the Raleigh and
Fayetteville Railroad, LLC (RFCC), upon
RFCC’s becoming a Class III rail carrier.
This notice of exemption is related to
a concurrently filed notice of exemption
in Raleigh & Fayetteville Railroad—
Acquisition, Lease & Operation
Exemption with Interchange
Commitment—Norfolk Southern
Railway, Docket No. FD 36645, in which
RFCC seeks to acquire approximately
42.38 miles of rail line from Norfolk
Southern Railway Company (NSR),
lease approximately 19.88 miles of rail
line from NSR, assume NSR’s trackage
rights over 0.59 miles of rail line owned
by CSX Transportation, Inc., totaling
approximately 62.85 miles, and to
operate those lines, which form a
contiguous rail line between Raleigh
and Fayetteville in Wake, Harnett, and
Cumberland Counties, N.C. (the Line).
The transaction may be consummated
on or after December 14, 2022, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the verified notice was filed).
According to the verified notice,
Applicants control two non-operating
Class III rail carriers, R. J. Corman
Railroad Property, LLC, and R. J.
Corman Railroad Company/Ashland,
LLC, and 17 other operating Class III rail
carriers, collectively operating in 13
PO 00000

states (collectively, RJC Railroads). For a
complete list of these rail carriers and
the states in which they operate, see the
November 14, 2022 verified notice of
exemption at pages 2–3 for a list of
carriers and pages 5–6 for a list of states.
The verified notice is available on the
Board’s website at www.stb.gov.
Applicants certify that: (1) RFCC and
RJC Railroads would not connect with
each other or any other railroad in the
corporate family; (2) the continuance in
control is not part of a series of
anticipated transactions that would
connect the carriers with each other or
any railroad in the corporate family; and
(3) the transaction does not involve a
Class I rail carrier. Therefore, the
proposed transaction is exempt from the
prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.
11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its statutory
obligation to protect the interests of its
employees. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326(c)
does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under 49 U.S.C. 11324 and
11325 that involve only Class III rail
carriers. Because this transaction
involves Class III rail carriers only, the
Board, under the statute, may not
impose labor protective conditions for
this transaction.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
may be filed at any time. The filing of
a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions to stay must be
filed no later than December 7, 2022 (at
least seven days before the exemption
becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36646, must be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board either via
e-filing on the Board’s website or in
writing addressed to 395 E Street SW,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, a copy of each pleading must
be served on Applicants’ representative,
Catherine S. Wright, Jackson Kelly
PLLC, 100 West Main Street, Suite 700,
Lexington, KY 40588–2150.
According to Applicants, this action
is categorically excluded from
environmental review under 49 CFR
1105.6(c) and from historic preservation
reporting requirements under 49 CFR
1105.8(b).
Board decisions and notices are
available at www.stb.gov.
Decided: November 23, 2022.
