    BNSF Railway Company, a major rail carrier, has filed for an exemption to acquire temporary rights to use two rail lines owned by Union Pacific Railroad Company in California. These rights allow BNSF to move trains with ballast materials between locations near Stockton and Keddie. The agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2021, and the transaction can begin after January 27, 2021. BNSF has ensured that its actions meet certain regulatory conditions and has filed a related petition about the temporary nature of these rights.

    Simple Explanation

    BNSF, a big train company, is asking to use Union Pacific's train tracks in California for a short time to carry materials between two places until the end of 2021. This request is a bit like borrowing a friend's toys for a while, and there are some grown-up rules they need to follow to make sure both are okay with it.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking public comments on renewing an information collection related to operating commercial launch sites. This information is necessary for evaluating applications to ensure they meet safety and security standards. The FAA estimates that about two applicants will apply, with each application requiring about 2,322 hours to complete. Public comments on this process can be submitted by March 15, 2021, through various means, including online, mail, or fax.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to hear from people about rules for running spaceship launch zones. They think filling out the paperwork to get a license takes a long time, like over 2,300 hours, so they want ideas on making it less tricky and easier for everyone.
