Notice of Intent To Rule on a Land Release Request at Malden Regional Airport & Industrial Park (MAW), Malden, MO, 47232-47233 [2023-15450]

Download as PDF 47232 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 139 / Friday, July 21, 2023 / Notices adequacy of transportation offerings. Applicants state that Express will continue to provide the same level of services in all states in which it operates. (Suppl. 3, June 21, 2023.) Applicants further explain that, following the transaction, Express will offer substantially the same charter and contract transportation services currently provided by James, and that James’ current motor coach fleet is sufficient in size to meet the requirements of James’ charter and contract service customer base. (Id. at 3– 5.) Thus, the transaction will have little or no impact on competing passenger charter and contract motor carriers because Express would simply be replacing James as the operator in the Richmond and Norfolk markets that James primarily serves, which, according to Applicants, are separate from the markets served by Express from Northern Virginia. (Id. at 6.) Applicants also assert that James’ motor coach operations outside Virginia are ‘‘minimal, approximately 13% of total charter and contract operations’’; state that the Express motor carrier affiliates (Lines, Airport, and Bus (FL)) do not conduct any regular and primary charter or contract passenger service operations in Virginia, the primary market in which James operates; and claim that due to these limiting factors, they do not anticipate that the acquisition of James’ motor coach assets will have a substantial negative impact on competitors. (Id. at 6–7.) 6 Based on Applicants’ representations, the Board finds that the proposed acquisition is consistent with the public interest and should be tentatively approved and authorized. If any opposing comments are timely filed, these findings will be deemed vacated and, unless a final decision can be made on the record as developed, a procedural schedule will be adopted to reconsider the application. See 49 CFR 1182.6(c). If no opposing comments are filed by the expiration of the comment period, this notice will take effect automatically and will be the final Board action. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 6 The Board notes that the asset purchase agreement contains a non-compete agreement, which prohibits James and its affiliates (except for Stephen Story, whose arrangement is governed by a consulting agreement), for a period of time, from soliciting the customer client base sold to Express or otherwise competing with Express in the geographic areas in which James currently conducts business operations. (Appl., Ex. C art. 10.01.) After a review of the contractual provision, and based on the verified information submitted by Applicants regarding the limited amount of market overlap, the Board finds that the clause does not appear to have an anticompetitive effect, on balance, in the markets in which Applicants operate. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:06 Jul 20, 2023 Jkt 259001 This action is categorically excluded from environmental review under 49 CFR 1105.6(c). Board decisions and notices are available at www.stb.gov. It is ordered: 1. The proposed transaction is approved and authorized, subject to the filing of opposing comments. 2. If opposing comments are timely filed, the findings made in this notice will be deemed vacated. 3. This notice will be effective September 6, 2023, unless opposing comments are filed by September 5, 2023. If any comments are filed, Applicant may file a reply by September 19, 2023. 4.

ACTION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its implementing regulations, FRA seeks approval of the Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below. Before submitting this ICR to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval, FRA is soliciting public comment on specific aspects of the activities identified in the ICR. DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before September 19, 2023. ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed ICR should be submitted on regulations.gov to the docket, Docket No. FRA–2023– 0002. All comments received will be posted without change to the docket, including any personal information provided. Please refer to the assigned OMB control number (2130–NEW) in any correspondence submitted. FRA will summarize comments received in response to this notice in a subsequent notice and include them in its information collection submission to OMB for approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to provide 60-days’ notice to the public to allow comment on information collection activities before seeking OMB approval of the activities. See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through 1320.12. Specifically, FRA invites interested parties to comment on the following ICR regarding: (1) whether the information collection activities are necessary for FRA to properly execute its functions, including whether the activities will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the burden of the information collection activities, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to determine the estimates; (3) ways for FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information being collected; and (4) ways for FRA to minimize the burden of information collection activities on the public, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00135 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47233 information technology. See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1). FRA believes that soliciting public comment may reduce the administrative and paperwork burdens associated with the collection of information that Federal statutes and regulations mandate. In summary, FRA reasons that comments received will advance three objectives: (1) reduce reporting burdens; (2) organize information collection requirements in a ‘‘user-friendly’’ format to improve the use of such information; and (3) accurately assess the resources expended to retrieve and produce the information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 3501. The summary below describes the ICR that FRA will submit for OMB clearance as the PRA requires: Title: Class I Freight-Train Length Reporting. OMB Control Number: 2130–NEW. Abstract: On May 2, 2023, FRA issued Safety Advisory 2023–03, ‘‘Accident Mitigation and Train Length,’’ (Safety Advisory) to ensure railroads and railroad employees are aware of the potential complexities associated with operating longer trains and to recommend that they take appropriate measures to address those complexities to ensure the safe operation of such trains.1 The Safety Advisory cited three significant incidents that occurred since 2022 involving trains with more than 200 cars, each approximately more than 10,000 feet in length and weighing more than 17,000 trailing tons, where train handling and train makeup is believed to have caused, or contributed to, the incidents. In the Safety Advisory, FRA explained that the operation of these longer trains presents different, more complex, operational challenges, which can be exacerbated by the weight and makeup of trains. Consequently, FRA recommended that railroads review their operating rules and existing locomotive engineer certification programs to address operational complexities of train length, take appropriate action to prevent the loss of communications between end-of-train devices, and mitigate the impacts of long trains on blocked crossings.2 In the Safety Advisory, FRA also explained that in 2019, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report finding that freight-train length, particularly for Class I railroads, increased in recent years.3 GAO was only able to procure 1 88 FR 27570. 2 Id. 3 Id.
