[STB Finance Docket No. 35092]
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Progressive Rail Inc.—Continuance in
Control Exemption—Montgomery
Short Line LLC
Progressive Rail Inc. (PRI) has filed a
verified notice of exemption to continue
in control of Montgomery Short Line
LLC (MSL), upon MSL’s becoming a
Class III rail carrier.1
This transaction is related to a
concurrently filed verified notice of
exemption in STB Finance Docket No.
35093, Montgomery Short Line LLC—
Lease and Operation Exemption—Union
Pacific Railroad Company. In that
proceeding, MSL seeks to lease and
operate approximately 23.5 miles of rail
line owned by the Union Pacific
Railroad Company from Merriam to the
end of the track near Montgomery, in
Scott and Le Sueur Counties, MN.
PRI intends to consummate the
transaction on or after November 24,
2007, the effective date of the exemption
(30 days after the exemption was filed).
PRI is a common carrier by rail that
owns and operates lines in the States of
Minnesota and Wisconsin. PRI also
currently controls Central Midland
Railway Company, a Class III rail
carrier, that owns and operates rail
property interests in Missouri.
PRI represents that: (1) The rail lines
to be leased by MSL do not connect
with it or any other railroad in their
corporate family; (2) the continuance in
control is not part of a series of
anticipated transactions that would
connect the railroads with each other or
any other railroad in their 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).
1 MSL
is a wholly owned subsidiary of PRI.

Jkt 214001
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 sections 11324 and
11325 that involve only Class III rail
carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not
impose labor protective conditions here,
because all the carriers involved are
Class III rail 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. Petitions for stay must
be filed no later than November 16,
2007 (at least 7 days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 35092, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–

pleading must be served on Michael J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of the Treasury has
established a fee structure for the
transfer of Treasury book-entry
securities maintained on NBES.
Treasury reassesses this fee structure
periodically, based on our review of the
latest book-entry costs and volumes.
For each Treasury securities transfer
or reversal sent or received on or after
January 2, 2008, the basic fee will
increase to $.28 from $.26. The
surcharge for an off-line Treasury bookentry transfer will remain $33.00.
The basic transfer fee assessed to both
sends and receives is reflective of costs
associated with the processing of a
security transfer. The off-line surcharge
reflects the additional processing costs
associated with the manual processing
of off-line securities transfers.
The Treasury does not charge a fee for
account maintenance, the stripping and
reconstitution of Treasury securities, the
wires associated with original issues, or
interest and redemption payments. The
Treasury currently absorbs these costs
and will continue to do so.
The fees described in this notice
apply only to the transfer of Treasury
book-entry securities held on NBES.
Information concerning fees for bookentry transfers of Government Agency
securities, which are priced by the
Federal Reserve System, is set out in a
separate Federal Register notice
published by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System on {add
date and docket number}.
The following is the Treasury fee
