Abandonments to abandon a 1.15-mile

Orange County, CA. The line traverses
United States Postal Service Zip Code
92821.
UP has certified that: (1) No local
traffic has moved over the line for at
least 2 years; (2) there is no overhead
traffic on the line; (3) no formal
complaint filed by a user of rail service
on the line (or filed by a state or local
government entity acting on behalf of
such user) regarding cessation of service
over the line either is pending with the
Board or with any U.S. District Court or
has been decided in favor of
complainant within the 2-year period;

As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
abandonment shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line R. Co.—
Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91
(1979). To address whether this
condition adequately protects affected
employees, a petition for partial
revocation under 49 USC 10502(d) must
be filed.
Provided no formal expression of
intent to file an offer of financial
assistance (OFA) has been received, this
exemption will be effective on or after
May 21, 2010, unless stayed pending
reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do

If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio.
UP has filed a combined
environmental and historic report
which address the effects, if any, of the
abandonment on the environment and
historic resources. SEA will issue an
environmental assessment (EA) by April
26, 2010. Interested persons may obtain
a copy of the EA by writing to SEA
(Room 1100, Surface Transportation
Board, Washington, DC 20423–0001) or
by calling SEA, at (202) 245–0305.
Assistance for the hearing impaired is

environmental and historic preservation
matters must be filed within 15 days
after the EA becomes available to the
public.
Environmental, historic preservation,
public use, or trail use/rail banking
conditions will be imposed, where
appropriate, in a subsequent decision.
Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR
1152.29(e)(2), UP shall file a notice of
consummation with the Board to signify
that it has exercised the authority
granted and fully abandoned the line. If
consummation has not been effected by
UP’s filing of a notice of consummation
by April 21, 2011, and there are no legal
or regulatory barriers to consummation,
the authority to abandon will
automatically expire.
Board decisions and notices are

by a party or by the Board’s Section of
Environmental Analysis (SEA) in its independent
investigation) cannot be made before the
exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines et al., 5 I.C.C.2d 377 (1989).
Any request for a stay should be filed as soon as
possible so that the Board may take appropriate
action before the exemption’s effective date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 2009 Business Relocation
Assistance Retrospective Study.
Background: Among benefits
included in relocation assistance under
the Uniform Act is a payment, not to
exceed $10,000, to assist displaced
businesses in reestablishing at a new
location. The Uniform Act also includes
a fixed payment for moving expenses
not to exceed $20,000 in lieu of the
payments for actual reasonable moving
and reestablishment related expenses.
The Uniform Act benefit levels were last
revised in 1989. Since that time,
displaced business moves have become
increasingly complex and costly. HEPR,
the Government Accountability Office
(GAO) and several States have done
recent research into the costs born by
businesses that are required to relocate
as a result of federally funded projects
and programs. The general conclusion is
that the Uniform Act benefit levels are
inadequate. For example the GAO
recently reported on the need for an
update of benefit levels in Eminent
Domain, Information about its Uses and
Effect on Communities and Property
Owners Is Limited (GAO–07–28). The
report communicates in several points,
including discussions on pages 4 and
16, that Uniform Act benefits available
to business are considered inadequate
by interviewees.

period.
Respondents: Approximately 300
participants to be interviewed in one
year.
Frequency: One collection from each
participant.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Approximately 4 hours per
participant over a year.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 1200 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized, including the use of
electronic technology, without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
