comparable mandatory caps or
concentration limits, so eliminating the
30% PMM cap will bring the Exchange’s
rules in line with its competitors.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange has neither solicited
nor received written comments on this
proposed rule change. The Exchange
has not received any written comments
from members or other interested
parties.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the proposed rule change
does not (i) significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, the
proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act 14 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.15
The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day
operative delay so that the proposal may
become operative immediately upon
filing. The Commission believes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby
waives the operative delay and
designates the proposed rule change
operative upon filing.16 As noted above,
the Exchange states that waiver of this
requirement will allow the Exchange to
immediately remove the 30% cap and
align its rules with other competing
options markets that do not have
comparable restrictions. The Exchange
also notes that the proposed rule change
preserves existing ownership and voting
limitations in the LLC Agreement.
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
14 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). As required under Rule
19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the
Commission with written notice of its intent to file
the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and the text of the proposed rule
change, at least five business days prior to the date
of filing of the proposed rule change, or such
shorter time as designated by the Commission.
16 For purposes only of waiving the 30-day
operative delay, the Commission has also
considered the proposed rule’s impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See
15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.

a family emergency, natural disaster or
international crisis, U.S. embassies and
consulates rely on this registration

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. FD 36009]
Gulf & Ohio Railways, Inc., H. Peter
Claussen and Linda C. Claussen—
Continuance in Control Exemption—
North Carolina & Atlantic Railroad Co.,
Inc.
Gulf & Ohio Railways, Inc. (G&O), and
H. Peter Claussen and Linda C. Claussen
(the Claussens) (collectively,
Applicants) have jointly filed a verified
notice of exemption pursuant to 49 CFR
1180.2(d)(2) to continue in control of
North Carolina & Atlantic Railroad Co.,
Inc. (NCAR), upon NCAR’s becoming a
Class III rail carrier.
This transaction is related to a
concurrently filed verified notice of
exemption in North Carolina & Atlantic
Railroad Co., Inc.—Lease & Operation
Exemption—North Carolina Department
of Transportation, Docket No. FD 36008,
wherein NCAR seeks Board approval
under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease from the
North Carolina Department of
Transportation, and to operate,
approximately 5.7 miles of rail line,
referred to as the Global Transpark rail
corridor, between milepost GTP–0.0
(connection to the North Carolina
Railroad Company track) and milepost
GTP–5.7 (at the NC Global Transpark) at
Kinston, in Lenoir County, NC.
Applicants expect to consummate the
proposed transaction on or after April 8,
2016, the effective date of the exemption
(30 days after the verified notice of
exemption was filed).
According to Applicants, the
Claussens own a controlling share of
voting stock of G&O. G&O, in turn,
wholly owns four Class III rail carriers
operating in three states: (a) Knoxville &
Holston River Railroad Co., Inc.,
operating in Tennessee; (b) Lancaster &
Chester Railroad, LLC, operating in
South Carolina; (c) Laurinburg &
Southern Railroad Co., Inc., operating in
North Carolina; and (d) Piedmont &
Atlantic Railroad Co., Inc., d/b/a Yadkin
Valley Railroad, operating in North
Carolina.
Applicants certify that: (1) The rail
lines to be operated by NCAR do not
connect with any other railroads
operated by the carriers in the
Applicants’ corporate family; (2) the
PO 00000
Frm 00125

continuance in control is not part of a
series of anticipated transactions that
would connect the rail lines to be
operated by NCAR with any other
railroad in Applicants’ corporate family;
and (3) the transaction does not involve
a Class I rail carrier. Therefore, the
transaction is exempt from the prior
approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.
11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its statutory
obligation to protect the interests of its
employees. Section 11326(c), however,
does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under 11324 and 11325
that involve only Class III rail carriers.
Accordingly, the Board may not impose
labor protective conditions here,
because all of the carriers involved are
Class III carriers.
If the 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. Stay petitions must be
filed no later than April 1, 2016 (at least
seven days before the exemption
becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
36009, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, one copy of each pleading
must be served on Applicants’
representative, Rose-Michele Nardi,
Transport Counsel PC, 1701
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Suite 300,
Washington, DC 20006.

available on our Web site at

Director, Office of Proceedings.
