Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 213 / Monday, November 6, 2023 / Notices an application under 49 U.S.C. 10903 requesting that the Surface Transportation Board (the Board) authorize the third-party, or ‘‘adverse,’’ abandonment of an approximately 11.9mile segment of a freight rail easement owned by GNP RLY, Inc. (GNP), and located between milepost 26.38 and milepost 38.25, in Snohomish County, Wash. (the Line or the Snohomish Segment of the Easement). The Line traverses U.S. Postal Service Zip Codes 98290, 98296, and 98072. The County explains that in a series of transactions recorded on December 21, 2009, under the Board’s line of precedent in Maine, Department of Transportation—Acquisition & Operation Exemption—Maine Central Railroad, 8 I.C.C.2d 835 (1991), BNSF Railway Company sold the physical assets of a rail line between milepost 23.8 in Woodinville, Wash., and milepost 38.25 in Snohomish, Wash., to the Port of Seattle (the Port); GNP acquired a permanent freight rail easement for the entirety of that rail line (the Easement); and GNP entered into an operations and maintenance agreement with the Port. The County states that the Easement is subject to a covenant, binding on all successors, requiring the holder of the Easement, upon cessation of rail service, either to seek voluntary abandonment authority and, upon request, to cooperate in railbanking the rail line pursuant to the National Trails System Act (Trails Act), 16 U.S.C. 1247(d), or to cooperate in an adverse abandonment proceeding and, upon request, railbanking of the rail line. According to the County, in 2015, it purchased the physical assets of the Snohomish Segment from the Port, and the City of Woodinville (Woodinville) purchased the physical assets of the segment of the rail line between milepost 23.8 and milepost 26.38 in Woodinville, Wash. (the Woodinville Segment). The County notes that GNP was authorized to abandon the Woodinville Segment of the Easement in Docket No. AB 1316X, and GNP and Woodinville subsequently entered an interim trail use/railbanking agreement covering that segment. The County explains that it is now seeking adverse abandonment of the Snohomish Segment of the Easement so that segment can also be railbanked, as required by the covenant in the deed from BNSF to the Port creating the Easement and by a settlement agreement the County and GNP entered prior to the County filing its application. The County states that GNP supports and does not oppose the County’s adverse abandonment application and agrees to cooperate with VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:53 Nov 03, 2023 Jkt 262001 the County to pursue interim trail use/ railbanking of the Line under the Trails Act. In a decision served in this proceeding on May 23, 2023, the County was granted exemptions from several statutory provisions as well as waivers of certain Board regulations that the Board concluded were inapplicable and unneeded in connection with the County’s anticipated application. According to the County, the Line may contain federally granted rights of way. The County states that any documentation in its possession will be made available promptly to those requesting it. The County’s entire case in chief for adverse abandonment was filed with the application. The interests of railroad employees will be protected by the conditions set forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad— Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). Any interested person may file comments concerning the proposed adverse abandonment or protests (including protestant’s entire opposition case) by December 1, 2023. Persons who may oppose the proposed adverse abandonment but who do not wish to participate fully in the process by submitting verified statements of witnesses containing detailed evidence should file comments. Persons opposing the proposed adverse abandonment who wish to participate actively and fully in the process should file a protest, observing the filing, service, and content requirements of 49 CFR 1152.25. The County’s reply is due by December 18, 2023. Any request for an interim trail use/ railbanking condition under 16 U.S.C. 1247(d) and 49 CFR 1152.29 must be filed by December 1, 2023,1 and should address whether the issuance of a certificate of interim trail use or abandonment in this case would be consistent with the grant of an adverse abandonment application. All pleadings, referring to Docket No. AB 1331, should 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 the County’s representative, Charles H. Montagne, 426 NW 162nd Street, Seattle, WA 98177.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments. AGENCY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves identifying information regarding foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft operated in the airspace of the United States. The information to be collected will be used to associate a foreign-registered unmanned aircraft operating in the United States with Remote Identification to the unmanned aircraft operator.

Title: Identification of ForeignRegistered Civil Unmanned Aircraft Operating in the United States. Form Numbers: N/A. Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection. Background: The unmanned aircraft remote identification operating requirements in title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 89 apply to persons operating foreign civil unmanned aircraft in the United States. The FAA must be able to correlate the remote identification message elements broadcast by foreign civil unmanned aircraft operated in the United States against information that helps FAA and law enforcement identify a person responsible for the operation of the foreign civil unmanned aircraft. Where unmanned aircraft are registered in a foreign jurisdiction, the FAA may not have access to information regarding the unmanned aircraft or its registered owner. Thus, the FAA is allowing a person to operate foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft with remote identification in the United States only if the person submits a notice of identification to the Administrator in accordance with title 14 Code of Federal Regulations § 89.130. The notice can be submitted online using the notice of identification form in FAA Drone Zone (https://faadronezone.faa.gov/). The DATES: E:\FR\FM\06NON1.SGM 06NON1
