facilities on the Line (collectively, the
PCCA Trackage Rights). (GNBC Verified
Notice of Exemption 2–4, Grainbelt
Corp.—Trackage Rts. Exemption—BNSF
Ry., FD 36486 (Sub-No. 6).)
GNBC explains that the trackage
rights covered by the verified notice in
Docket No. FD 36486 (Sub-No. 6) are
local rather than overhead rights and
therefore do not qualify for the Board’s
class exemption for temporary trackage
rights under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8).
(GNBC Pet. 4.) GNBC therefore filed its
verified notice of exemption under the
Board’s class exemption procedures at
49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) and a petition for
partial revocation of the exemption as
necessary to permit the PCCA Trackage
Rights to expire on March 31, 2025,
pursuant to the parties’ agreement.
(GNBC Pet 3.) GNBC argues that the
requested relief will promote the rail
transportation policy and is limited in
scope. (Id. at 4.) GNBC also asserts that
the Board has routinely granted similar
petitions to allow trackage rights to
expire on a negotiated date. (Id. at 4–5.)
Discussion and Conclusions
Although GNBC and BNSF have
expressly agreed on the duration of the
proposed trackage rights, trackage rights
approved under the class exemption at
49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) typically remain
effective indefinitely, regardless of any
contractual provisions. At times,
however, the Board has partially
revoked a trackage rights exemption to
allow those rights to expire after a
limited time rather than lasting in
perpetuity. See, e.g., Grainbelt Corp.—
Trackage Rts. Exemption—BNSF Ry.,
FD 36486 (Sub-No. 5) (STB served May
15, 2023) (granting a petition to partially
revoke a trackage rights exemption
involving the Line at issue in this case);
BNSF Ry.—Trackage Rts. Exemption—
Union Pac. R.R., FD 36377 (Sub-No. 7)
(STB served Mar. 2, 2023); New Orleans
Pub. Belt R.R.—Trackage Rts.
Exemption—Ill. Cent. R.R., FD 36198
(Sub-No. 1) (STB served June 20, 2018).
Granting partial revocation in these
circumstances to permit the trackage
rights to expire would eliminate the
need for GNBC to file a second pleading
seeking discontinuance when the
agreement expires, thereby promoting
the rail transportation policy at 49
U.S.C. 10101(2), (7), and (15). Moreover,
partially revoking the exemption to
limit the term of the trackage rights is
consistent with the limited scope of the
transaction previously exempted.1
Therefore, the Board will grant the
1 Because the proposed transaction is of limited
scope, the Board need not make a market power
finding. See 49 U.S.C. 10502(a).

petition and permit the trackage rights
exempted in Docket No. FD 36486 (SubNo. 6) to expire on March 31, 2025.
To provide the statutorily mandated
protection to any employee adversely
affected by the discontinuance of
trackage rights, the Board will impose
the employee protective 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).
This action is categorically excluded
from environmental review under 49
CFR 1105.6(c).
It is ordered:
1. The petition for partial revocation
of the trackage rights class exemption is
granted.
2. As discussed above, the trackage
rights in Docket No. FD 36486 (Sub-No.
6) are permitted to expire on March 31,
2025, subject to the employee protective
conditions set forth in Oregon Short
Line Railroad, 360 I.C.C. 91.
3. Notice of this decision will be
published in the Federal Register.
4. This decision is effective on May
31, 2024. Petitions to stay must be filed
by May 13, 2024. Petitions for
reconsideration must be filed by May
21, 2024.

The authority for this collection
resides in Presidential Policy Directive
(PPD)/PPD–30, 22 U.S.C. 4802 and 22
U.S.C. 3927. The duty of an agency with
employees in foreign countries is to
ensure they fully comply with all
applicable directives of the Chief of
Mission. In order to protect FAA
personnel on official duty abroad, the
ITIC documents the Personally
Identifiable Information (PII) of FAA
employees and contractors to help aid
in their authentication and recovery.
The ITIC requests the following PII:
Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Height,
Weight, Hair and Eye Color, Clothing
and Shoe Size, Race/Ethnic Group,
Blood Type, Scars/Marks/Tattoos,
Known Medical Conditions, Current
Medical Prescriptions, Allergies,
Contact Information, Specialized
Training, Language(s) Spoken, as well as
information about their Emergency
Contact. The traveler will also create a
Duress Word and Personal
Authenticator Statements to aid in the
identification.
This information will not be available
to the public, and will be managed in
accordance with applicable Records
Management and Privacy Act policies.
Only two International Travel Security
Program Managers and the Senior
Watch Officer of the Washington
Operations Center can retrieve ITICs to
aid employees and/or contractors during
an isolating event, as determined by the
Chief of Mission. The Chief of Mission,
relying on situational factors, will make
the ultimate decision with whom this
information is shared, such as, but not
limited to, the Department of Defense,
in the event of a personnel recovery
event.
Respondents: The FAA estimates 52
respondents because of the number of
contractors who traveled internationally
on official business in Fiscal Year 2023.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 30 minutes per traveler.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 26
hours per year.

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)

helicopter base locations, number of
hours the helicopters are flown, number
of patients transported, number of
transportation requests accepted or
denied, number of accidents, number of
instrument flight hours flown, number
of night flight hours flown, number of
incidents, and the rate of accidents or
incidents per 100,000 flight hours. The
information to be collected will be used
in helping the FAA develop risk
mitigation strategies and provide
information to Congress.

of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be

Title: Helicopter Air Ambulance
Operator Reports.
Form Numbers: 2120–0756.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The FAA Modernization
and Reform Act of 2012 (The Act)
mandates that all helicopter air
ambulance operators must begin
reporting the number of flights and
hours flown, along with other specified
information, during which helicopters
operated by the certificate holder were
providing helicopter air ambulance
services. See Public Law 112–95, sec.
306, 49 U.S.C. 44731. The Act further
mandates that not later than 2 years

annually thereafter, the Administrator
shall submit to the Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure of the
House of Representatives and the
Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate, a report
containing a summary of the data
collected.
The helicopter air ambulance
operational data provided to the FAA
will be used by the agency as
background information useful in the
development of risk mitigation
strategies to reduce the helicopter air
ambulance accident rate, and to meet
the mandates set by Congress. The
information requested is limited to the
minimum necessary to fulfill these new
reporting requirements mandated by the
Act and as developed by FAA. The
amount of data required to be submitted
is proportional to the size of the
operation.
Respondents: 65 Helicopter Air
Ambulance Operators.

Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Varies per size of operation.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 765
Hours for all operators.
