ACTION:
DENALI COMMISSION
ACTION:
BILLING CODE 3300–01–P
SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation
Board, having assessed its procedures
for transactions qualifying for the 7- and
21-day class exemptions proposes to
modify the timeframes in its rules to
provide greater public notice in advance
of an exempt transaction. The proposed
changes are intended to ensure that the
public is given notice of a proposed
transaction before the exemption
becomes effective; and that the Board
may process such notices of exemption,
and related petitions for stay, if any, in
an orderly and timely fashion.
DATES: Comments are due on May 15,
2006. Replies are due on June 14, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted either via the Board’s e-filing
format or in the traditional paper
format. Any person using e-filing should
comply with the instructions found on
the Board’s ‘‘https://www.stb.dot.gov’’
Web site, at the ‘‘E-FILING’’ link. Any
person submitting a filing in the
traditional paper format should send an
original and 10 paper copies of the filing
(referring to STB Ex Parte No. 659) to:
Surface Transportation Board, 1925 K

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of this notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) is to obtain
comments on a proposal to provide the
public with additional notice that
certain of the Board’s class exemptions
have been invoked before those
exemptions become effective. These
class exemptions are proposed to be
modified only as described herein. The
scope, purpose and effect of these rules
otherwise remains the same. Thus, the
Board does not propose to make any
changes to situations in which a class
exemption can be used, or the
information that entities seeking to use
a class exemption must provide. This
proceeding is based on the Board’s
exemption authority at 49 U.S.C. 10502.
The rules that are the subject of this
proposal (those found at 49 CFR part
1150 subpart D (Exempt Transactions
Under 49 U.S.C. 10901), 49 CFR part
1150 subpart E (Exempt Transactions
Under 49 U.S.C. 10902 for Class III Rail
Carriers), and 49 CFR part 1180 subpart
A (General Acquisition Procedures))
were established in the following
agency proceedings: Class Exemption
for the Acquisition and Operation of
Rail Lines Under 49 U.S.C. 10901, Ex
Parte No. 392; Class Exemption for the
Acquisition or Operation of Rail Lines
by Class III Rail Carriers Under 49
U.S.C. 10902, STB Ex Parte No. 529; and
Railroad Consolidation Procedures, STB
Ex Parte No. 282. For administrative
convenience, a single new docket
number is being used to permit
consolidated consideration of the
proposed procedural changes in one
proceeding.
Overview
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(a), the Board
may exempt individual transactions or
classes of transactions from the
application requirements of the statute
when it finds that full regulatory
scrutiny is not required and the
transaction or service will be limited in
scope or greater regulatory scrutiny is
not needed to protect shippers from an
abuse of market power. If the Board
grants an exemption, it may later revoke
the exemption authority if it finds that
action to be necessary to carry out the
rail transportation policy of 49 U.S.C.
10101 (49 U.S.C. 10502(d)), or the notice
may be deemed void ab initio if it
contains false or misleading
information.
There are some situations in which
Board authorization is granted so
