July 7, 2022 (87 FR 40,576), the Board
accepted for consideration the
responsive applications filed in Docket
Nos. FD 36500 (Sub-Nos. 1–4) by
Canadian National Railway Company
and its rail carrier affiliate, Illinois
Central Railroad Company (ICRR)
(collectively, CN),2 and FD 36500 (SubNo. 5) by Norfolk Southern Railway
Company (NSR).3 4
Section 11324(a) of title 49 of the U.S.
Code requires the Board in a control
proceeding to ‘‘hold a public hearing
unless the Board determines that a
public hearing is not necessary in the
public interest.’’ In Decision No. 11, FD
36500, the Board stated that it would
decide whether to conduct a public
hearing after the record had been more
fully developed. Decision No. 11, FD
36500, slip op. at 18 n.13. Based on the
comments that have been submitted, the
Board finds that a public hearing, which
will provide the Board an opportunity
to directly question the Applicants and
other interested persons about the issues
that have been raised, is in the public
interest. See Decision No. 18, FD 36500
et al., slip op. at 4 n.3 (noting the
likelihood of a public hearing given the
complexity of the proposed Transaction
and the many issues raised by it and the
responsive applications). Environmental
and historic preservation issues will be
addressed through the ongoing
environmental review process being
conducted by the Board’s Office of
Environmental Analysis. During the
public hearing, the Board will not

approval of the proposed Transaction, approval of
ICRR’s acquisition of KCS’s line between Kansas
City, Mo., and Springfield and East St. Louis, Ill.,
and other related relief. (CN Amended Responsive
Appl. 6–7.)

condition to any approval of the proposed
Transaction, NSR seeks certain contingent trackage
rights for overhead movement on KCS’s line
between the connection of KCS with the Meridian
Speedway, at Shreveport, La., and the Wylie
Intermodal Terminal, in Wylie, Tex. (NSR

consider issues being addressed through
the environmental review process.
Under the current procedural
schedule, final briefs are due by
September 20, 2022, prior to any public
hearing. Decision No. 18, FD 36500 et
al., slip op. at 4. However, the Board
finds that it would be beneficial to
receive final briefs after the public
hearing and will amend the procedural
schedule to have final briefs due by
October 14, 2022. As such, October 14,
2022, will be considered the close of the
record.5 Additionally, the page limit for
final briefs will be set at 30 pages.6
Prior to the hearing date, the Board
will issue a decision setting a schedule
of appearances with specific allotments
of time for presentations. Each speaker
will be allotted five minutes for their
presentation unless they request
otherwise in their notice of intent, in
which case, the Board will consider the
request for a different allotment.
Speakers should be prepared to keep
their comments succinct to ensure an
opportunity for questions by the Board
and for all interested persons to be
heard. The schedule will also provide,
among other things, that Applicants will
speak first, and that they may choose to
reserve part of their time for a closing
statement. Speakers at the hearing are
encouraged to use their time to call
attention to the points they believe to be
particularly important. The purpose of
the hearing is not to restate the written
submissions, but to summarize and
emphasize the key points of a party’s
case or a speaker’s position, and to
provide an opportunity for the speaker
to respond to questions the Board may
have regarding the matters at issue.

the Board, including this notice, are

responsive, including inconsistent, applications.

Title of Information Collection: LPC
FIRST Financial Reporting.
Frequency of Use: Monthly and
Annually.
Type of Affected Public: Business or
Local Government.
Small Businesses or Organizations
Affected: Yes.
Federal Budget Functional Category

Need for and Use of Information:
TVA, serving in its regulatory capacity,
uses this financial and statistical
information to monitor each
distributor’s current financial position
and to forecast requirements for
reasonable levels of resources for
renewals, replacements, and
contingencies. The data from this
information collection is used by TVA
organizations (Regulatory Assurance,
Commercial Energy Solutions, Treasury
and Risk, Regional Relations and
Transmission and Power Supply) and
the TVA Board of Directors to assist in
making management decisions
concerning electric power rates,
financing the TVA power generating
and transmission system, and other
long-term plans. If this information
collection is not conducted, TVA would
be severely hampered in fulfilling its
responsibilities to Congress under
Section 11 of the TVA Act of 1933 to
‘‘permit domestic and rural use [of
electricity] at the lowest possible rates.’’
TVA has deployed the new Financial
Information & Regulatory System Tool
(FIRST) to streamline data collection
and reduce the burden on the public.
