Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Rule 147A(f)(1)(iii) (17 CFR
230.147A(f)(1)(iii)) requires the issuer to
obtain from the purchaser a written
representation as to the pruchase’s
residency in order to qualify for safe
harbor under Securities Act Rule 147A
(17 CFR 230.147A). Rule 147A is an
exemption from registration under
Securities Act Section 28 (15 U.S.C.
77z–3). Under Rule 147A, the purchaser
in the offering must be a resident of the
same state or territory in which the
issuer is a resident. While the formal
representation of residency by itself is
not sufficient to establish a reasonable
belief that such purchasers are in-state
residents, the representation
requirement, together with the
reasonable belief standard, may result in
better compliance with the rule and
maintaining appropriate investor
protections. The representation of
residency is not provided to the
Commission. Approximately 700
respondents provide the information
required by Rule 147A(f)(1)(iii) at an
estimated 2.75 hours per response for a
total annual reporting burden of 1,925
hours (2.75 hours × 700 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including

through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication by May 30, 2023.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. AB 1239 (Sub-No. 3X)]

City of Tacoma, Department of Public
Utilities, d/b/a Tacoma Rail—
Discontinuance of Service
Exemption—in Pierce County, Wash.
On March 8, 2023, the City of
Tacoma, Wash., Department of Public
Utilities d/b/a Tacoma Rail (the City)
filed a petition with the Surface
Transportation Board (the Board) under
49 U.S.C. 10502 for exemption from the
prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.
10903 to discontinue common carrier
service over approximately 3.5 miles of
rail line extending from milepost 2.11 at
East C Street (USDOT Grade Crossing
Inventory Number 396640U) to milepost
5.61 at McKinley Avenue (USDOT
Grade Crossing Inventory Number No.
396659L), in the City, Pierce County
(the Line). The Line traverses U.S.
Postal Service Zip Codes 98421, 98404,
and 98418.
According to the City, the Line has
moved only four local carloads in the
past seven years—one carload in April
2021 and three carloads in 2016. The
City states that it would not expect
carload volumes to or from the sole
customer on the Line, Tacoma Steel, to
increase significantly if the Line were to
remain active. According to the City, it
has advised Tacoma Steel of its plan to
cease operations on the Line and the
City expects that Tacoma Steel will not
object to this petition for discontinuance
authority. The City also states that no
overhead traffic currently exists on the
Line, and that, if such traffic did exist,
it could be handled over other through
routes.
The City states that, to the best of its
information and belief, the Line does
not contain any federally granted rightsof-way and that it will promptly make
available to those requesting it any
documentation in its possession
relevant to the foregoing statement.
The interest 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).
By issuance of this notice, the Board
is instituting an exemption proceeding
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final
decision will be issued by June 26,
2023.
Because this is a discontinuance
proceeding and not an abandonment,
interim trail use/rail banking and public
use conditions are not appropriate.
Because there will be environmental
review during any subsequent
