Northwestern Pacific Railroad
Company (NWPCO), a noncarrier, has
filed a verified notice of exemption
under 49 CFR 1150.31 to change
operators from Northwestern Pacific
Railway Co., LLC (NWPY) to NWPCO
on a line of railroad owned by North
Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA) and
Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District
(SMART). The line, entirely within
California, includes: (1) The Willits
Segment extending from NWP milepost
142.5 near Outlet Station to NWP
milepost 68.22 near Healdsburg, a
distance of approximately 74.3 miles;
(2) the Healdsburg Segment extending
from NWP milepost 68.2 near
Healdsburg to NWP milepost 26.96 near
Novato, a distance of approximately
41.2 miles; (3) the Novato Segment

miles; and (4) the Lombard Segment
extending from NWP milepost 25.6 near
Ignacio to Lombard Station in Napa
County, SP milepost 63.4, a distance of
approximately 25.3 miles. These
segments (‘‘the Line’’) total
approximately 142 miles.2 This change
in operators is exempt under 49 CFR
1150.31(a)(3).3
1 This notice corrects the notice published on
August 24, 2007, at 72 FR 48729, which erroneously
stated the earliest date for consummation of this
transaction to be August 16, 2007 and, in one
instance, misstated the docket number.
2 NCRA acquired the authority to operate the Line
pursuant to North Coast Railroad Authority—Lease
and Operation Exemption—California Northern
Railroad Company, Northwestern Pacific Railroad
Authority, and Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and
Transportation District, STB Finance Docket No.
33115 (STB Served Sept. 27, 1996). In turn, NCRA
contracted its surface freight easement rights on the
Line to NWPY pursuant to Northwestern Pacific
Railway Co., LLC—Lease and Operation
Exemption—North Coast Railroad Authority,
Northwestern Pacific Railroad Authority and
Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation
District, STB Finance Docket No. 33998 (STB served
Feb. 6, 2001). SMART obtained an ownership
interest in the southern portion of the Line pursuant
to Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District—
Acquisition Exemption—Northwestern Pacific
Railroad Authority, STB Finance Docket No. 34400
(STB served Mar. 10, 2004).
3 In order to qualify for a change in operators
exemption, an applicant must give notice to
shippers on the line. See 49 CFR 1150.32(b).
NWPCO has certified that it gave notice of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:38 Aug 29, 2007
Jkt 211001
NWPCO certifies that upon
consummation of the transaction, it will
become a Class III rail carrier, that its
projected revenues as a result of this
transaction will not exceed those that
would qualify it as a Class III rail
carrier, and that such revenues would
not exceed $5 million annually.
NWPCO indicates that it intends to
consummate the transaction on or after
September 8, 2007, which is the earliest
the transaction can be consummated (30
days after the exemption was filed).4
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the
proceeding 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 by August 31,
2007 (at least 7 days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 35073, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, Office
of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 395
E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20523–
