Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 13, 2024 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Acquis. of Control Exemption—Atl. W. Transp. & Heart of Ga. R.R., FD 36105, slip op. at 3 (STB served Apr. 18, 2017) (holding carrier to similar representation in exemption proceeding). Moreover, no shipper (or any other entity) has objected to this control transaction. Based on the record, the Board finds that the transaction does not shift or consolidate market power and that regulation is not needed to protect shippers from an abuse of market power. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board may not use its exemption authority to relieve a carrier of its statutory obligation to protect the interests of employees. Accordingly, as a condition to granting this exemption, the Board will impose the standard employee protective conditions in New York Dock Railway—Control—Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal, 360 I.C.C 60, aff’d New York Dock Railway v. United States, 609 F.2d 83 (2d Cir. 1979). The control transaction is exempt from environmental reporting requirements under 49 CFR 1105.6(c)(1)(i) because it will not result in any significant change in carrier operations. Similarly, the transaction is exempt from the historic reporting requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b)(1) because GMXT states that it has no plans to dispose of or alter properties subject to the Board’s jurisdiction that are 50 years old or older. In its July 3, 2024 filing, GMXT asks that the exemption be made effective no later than August 27, 2024. (GMXT Suppl. 4.) GMXT’s rationale is not persuasive, particularly given the questions raised in the April 2024 Decision in Docket No. FD 36701 and the complexities of this proceeding, which counsel in favor of giving interested parties time to review this decision prior to the exemption’s effective date.12 The Board will retain the 30-day period prescribed by 49 CFR 1121.4(e). The exemption will be effective September 12, 2024. Petitions to stay must be filed by August 23, 2024. adversely affects interline optionality at international gateway and, if warranted, remedy the situation). 12 GMXT requests expedited consideration ‘‘to allow the parties to complete all necessary actions required to accomplish the postponed closing [of the agreement with Seacor] without any further delay.’’ (GMXT Suppl. 4; see id. at 3 (stating that closing was postponed ‘‘to align with [the agreement between GMXT and GWI], which includes a similar date’’).) Petitioners’ desire to meet their chosen closing date(s) is not, by itself, a sufficient basis for shortening the 30-day period (and, potentially, the related interim deadlines for stay, reconsideration, and reopening requests) identified in 49 CFR 1121.4(e) before an exemption may take effect, particularly given the circumstances of this proceeding. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:55 Aug 12, 2024 Jkt 262001 Petitions for reconsideration or petitions to reopen must be filed by September 3, 2024. It is ordered: 1. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502, the Board exempts from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323–25 the control transaction described above, subject to the employee protective conditions in New York Dock Railway— Control—Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal, 360 I.C.C 60, aff’d New York Dock Railway v. United States, 609 F.2d 83 (2d Cir. 1979). 2. Petitioners must adhere to GMXT’s statement that it will not use the connection between CGR and Ferrosur to foreclose vertical competition over efficient joint line routes with unaffiliated carriers. 3. Notice of the exemption will be published in the Federal Register. 4. The exemption will become effective on September 12, 2024. Petitions for stay must be filed by August 23, 2024. Petitions for reconsideration or petitions to reopen must be filed by September 3, 2024. Decided: August 8, 2024. By the Board, Board Members Fuchs, Hedlund, Primus, and Schultz.

Public Participation and Request for Comments A. Comments Sought for Consideration During Regular Review of FMCSA Guidance Documents FMCSA’s primary mission is to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. In carrying out this safety mandate, FMCSA develops and enforces datadriven regulations and produces guidance documents to clarify regulatory requirements and aid compliance. Section 5203(c) of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act requires that, not less than once every 5 years, FMCSA conduct a comprehensive review (‘‘regular review’’) of the guidance documents it has issued to determine whether such documents are consistent and clear, uniformly and consistently enforced, and still necessary. A similar comprehensive review was conducted in early 2020, culminating in the effective reissuance of all of the guidance in FMCSA’s guidance portal on March 3, 2020, the date the Department announced the availability of the regulatory guidance portals.1 Prior to beginning a regular review, FMCSA is required to publish a notice and request for comment in the Federal Register that solicits input from stakeholders on which guidance documents should be updated or eliminated. This notice satisfies this statutory requirement. Accordingly, FMCSA seeks written input from the public on all FMCSA guidance documents that are good candidates for revision or rescission including guidance published at FMCSA’s guidance portal page located at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/guidance. The public is encouraged to identify guidance documents that: (1) are inconsistent or unclear; (2) may not be conducive to uniform or consistent enforcement; or (3) are no longer necessary. B. Submitting Comments If you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this notice (FMCSA–2024–0208), indicate the specific guidance document to which your comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or recommendation. You may submit your comments and material online or by fax, mail, or hand delivery, but please use only one of these means. FMCSA recommends that you include your 1 See 85 FR 12663 and https:// www.transportation.gov/guidance/operatingadministration-guidance-portals. PO 00000 Frm 00133 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 name and a mailing address, an email address, or a phone number in the body of your document so FMCSA can contact you if there are questions regarding your submission. To submit your comment online, go to https://www.regulations.gov/docket/ FMCSA-2024-0208/document, click on this notice, click ‘‘Comment,’’ and type your comment into the text box on the following screen. If you submit your comments by mail or hand delivery, submit them in an unbound format, no larger than 81⁄2 by 11 inches, suitable for copying and electronic filing. If you submit comments by mail and would like to know that they reached the facility, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard or envelope. C. Content of Comments FMCSA will consider all comments and material received during the comment period. To maximize the usefulness of comments, FMCSA encourages commenters to provide the following information. 1. A specific reference to the guidance document and associated statutes or regulations that the comment discusses. This should include the title or subject, the date of issuance, guidance document number if available (e.g., FMCSA–CDL– 383.73–FAQ01(2024–05–20)), internet address of guidance location, or other source of the guidance document. You may also provide copies of the guidance if it is not readily identifiable through these sources. If available, the reference should include citations to the associated statutes (e.g., FAST Act) or regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations. A specific reference will assist FMCSA in identifying the guidance document and any associated statutory or regulatory requirements. 2. A description of the problem with the specific guidance document. A comment that explains why the guidance document should be eliminated or revised is more useful than a comment that merely asserts that the guidance should be eliminated or revised. Comments that reflect experience with the guidance or a related statutory or regulatory requirement and provide data describing that experience are more helpful than comments that are not tied to direct experience. 3. A description of alternatives that are better than the specific guidance document. If the commenter believes that the objective that motivated the guidance document may be achieved using a better alternative, the commenter should describe that alternative in detail. Likewise, if the E:\FR\FM\13AUN1.SGM 13AUN1
