ACTION:

Review and Amendment of the
Designations of ISIL-Libya and Real
IRA (and Other Aliases) as Foreign
Terrorist Organizations

ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1

of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be
maintained. Additionally, pursuant to
section 219(b) of the INA, as amended
(8 U.S.C. 1189(b)), I hereby amend the
designation of ISIL-Libya (and other
aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist
Organization to include the following
new aliases: Islamic State of Iraq and
ash-Sham in Libya, ISIS-Libya, ISIS–L;
and amend the designation of Real IRA
(and other aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist
Organization to include the following
new aliases: New Irish Republican
Army, New IRA, NIRA, and IRA Army
Council.
This determination shall be published
in the Federal Register.

Based upon a review of the
Administrative Records assembled
pursuant to section 219(a)(4)(C) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as
amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)(C))
(‘‘INA’’), and in consultation with the
Attorney General and the Secretary of
the Treasury, I conclude that the
circumstances that were the basis for the
designations of the aforementioned
organizations as Foreign Terrorist
Organizations have not changed in such
a manner as to warrant revocation of the
designations and that the national
security of the United States does not
warrant a revocation of the designations.
I also conclude that there is a sufficient
factual basis to find that ISIL-Libya (and
other aliases) uses the additional alias
Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham in
Libya (also known as ISIS-Libya and
ISIS–L); and that there is a sufficient
factual basis to find that Real IRA (and
other aliases) uses the additional alias
New Irish Republican Army (also
known as New IRA, NIRA, and IRA
Army Council).
Therefore, I hereby determine that the
designations of the aforementioned
organizations as Foreign Terrorist
Organizations, pursuant to section 219

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board

Subjects: In this notice, the Board is
requesting comments on the following
information collection:
Description of Collection
Title: Classification Index Survey
Form.
OMB Control Number: 2140–00XX.
Form Number: Classification Index
Survey Form.
Type of Review: Existing Collection
without an OMB Control Number.
Respondents: All railroad companies
that are not required to file an Annual
Report (Form R–1) and find that their
classification has changed (e.g., a
change from Class III railroad, i.e., a
small railroad, to a Class II railroad, i.e.,
a medium-sized railroad).
Number of Respondents: One per
year.
Estimated Time per Response: Less
than 24 hours. For any railroad
changing classification, this estimate
includes time spent reviewing
instructions; searching existing data
sources; gathering and maintaining the
data needed; completing and reviewing
the collection of information; and
converting the data from the carrier’s

individual accounting system.
(Generally, railroads will know whether
they are close to changing among the
three classifications.)
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Total Annual Hour Burden: Less than
24 hours annually.
Total Annual ‘‘Non-Hour Burden’’
Cost: The Classification Index Survey
Form may be submitted electronically
without non-hourly costs.
Needs and Uses: Railroads are
classified by size into groups of large,
medium, and small carriers. The Board
must determine the classification of
each rail carrier as a Class I, Class II, or
Class III railroad. Railroads with a Class
I classification (large railroads) must file
Annual Reports (Form R–1) under 49
U.S.C. 11145. See OMB Control Number
2140–0009 (Class I Railroad Annual
Reports). These reports are used by the
Board, other Federal agencies, and
industry groups to monitor and assess
railroad industry growth, financial
stability, traffic, and operations, and to
identify industry changes that may
affect national transportation policy. All
other railroads (those not required to file
an (R–1) Annual Report) shall annually
compute their adjusted revenues using
the ‘‘railroad revenue deflator formula,’’
and, if the computation derived from
that formula indicates a change in a
carrier’s classification, that carrier must
submit a ‘‘Classification Index Survey
Form’’ to the Board pursuant to 49 CFR
part 1201 General Instructions 1–1 and
§ 1241.15.
Under the PRA, a Federal agency that
conducts or sponsors a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. A collection
of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Section 3507(b) of
the PRA requires, concurrent with an
agency’s submitting a collection to OMB
for approval, a 30-day notice and
comment period through publication in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. FD 36709]

Naugatuck Railroad Company—Lease
and Operation Exemption—Boston &
Maine Corporation and Springfield
Terminal Railway Company
Naugatuck Railroad Company
(NAUG), a Class III rail carrier, has filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1150.41 to lease from Boston &
Maine Corporation (B&M) and acquire
the right to operate from Springfield
Terminal Railway Company (STR) as a
common carrier over approximately
1,330 feet of rail line currently owned
by B&M and operated by STR between
a connection to the Torrington Branch at
engineering station 0+00 and
engineering station 13+30, all in New
Haven County, Conn. (the Line).
According to the verified notice,
NAUG has entered into a land and rail
assets lease agreement with CSX
Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), on behalf
of B&M and STR, which are both
subsidiaries of CSXT. The verified
notice states that, upon consummation
of the agreement, NAUG will lease and
operate the Line. NAUG states that it
currently operates over the Torrington
Branch, an approximately 19.6-mile rail
line that extends between NAUG
milepost 0.0 in Waterbury, Conn., and
NAUG milepost 19.6 in Torrington,
Conn. See Naugatuck R.R.—Operation
Exemption—State of Conn., FD 32793
(STB served Jan. 25, 1996).
NAUG certifies that its projected
annual freight revenues will not result
in the creation of a Class I or Class II rail
carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
NAUG also certifies that the agreement
does not include an interchange
commitment.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after July 14, 2023, the effective
date of the exemption (30 days after the
verified notice was filed).
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
may be filed at any time. The filing of
a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions for stay must
be filed no later than July 7, 2023 (at
least seven days before the exemption
becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36709, must be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board either via
e-filing on the Board’s website or in
writing addressed to 395 E Street SW,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, a copy of each pleading must
be served on NAUG’s representative,
