Partial Revocation of Exemption. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Board, under 49 U.S.C. 10502, revokes the class exemption as it pertains to the modified trackage rights described in STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 8) 1 to permit the mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES 1 On December 21, 2007, Union Pacific Railway Company (UP) concurrently filed a verified notice of exemption under the Board’s class exemption procedures at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). The notice covered the agreement by BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) to extend the expiration date of the local trackage rights granted to UP over BNSF’s line of railroad between BNSF milepost 579.3 near Mill Creek, OK, and BNSF milepost 631.1 near Joe Junction, TX, a distance of approximately 51 miles. UP submits that the trackage rights are only temporary rights, but, because they are ‘‘local’’ rather than ‘‘overhead’’ rights, they do not qualify for the Board’s class exemption for temporary trackage rights under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8). See Union Pacific Railroad Company—Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption—BNSF Railway Company, STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 8) (STB served Jan. 4, 2008). VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:44 Mar 19, 2008 Jkt 214001 trackage rights to expire on or about December 31, 2008, in accordance with the agreement of the parties,2 subject to the employee protective conditions set forth in Oregon Short Line R. Co.— Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). 2 The trackage rights were originally granted in Union Pacific Railroad Company—Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption—The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company, STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (STB served Oct. 7, 2004). Subsequently, the parties filed notices of exemption several times based on their agreements to extend expiration dates of the same trackage rights. See STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 2) (served February 11, 2005); STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 4) (served March 3, 2006); and STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 6) (served January 12, 2007). Because the original and subsequent trackage rights notices were filed under the class exemption at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7), under which trackage rights normally remain effective indefinitely, in each instance the Board granted partial revocation of the class exemption to permit the authorized trackage rights to expire. See STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 1) (decision served November 24, 2004); STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 3) (decision served March 25, 2005); STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 5) (decision served March 23, 2006); and STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 7) (decision served March 13, 2007). At the time of the extension authorized in STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub– No. 6), the parties anticipated that the authority to allow the rights to expire would be exercised by December 31, 2007. However, the parties filed on December 21, 2007 in STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 8) their most recent notice of exemption so that the trackage rights could be extended to December 31, 2008, and in STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub–No. 9) their latest petition to partially revoke the class exemption to permit expiration, which we are addressing here.

Union Pacific Railroad Company--Temporary Trackage Rights 
Exemption--BNSF Railway Company

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.

ACTION: Partial Revocation of Exemption.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Board, under 49 U.S.C. 10502, revokes the class exemption 
as it pertains to the modified trackage rights described in STB Finance 
Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 8) \1\ to permit the trackage rights to 
expire on or about December 31, 2008, in accordance with the agreement 
of the parties,\2\ subject to the employee protective conditions set 
forth in Oregon Short Line R. Co.--Abandonment--Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 
(1979).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On December 21, 2007, Union Pacific Railway Company (UP) 
concurrently filed a verified notice of exemption under the Board's 
class exemption procedures at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). The notice 
covered the agreement by BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) to extend the 
expiration date of the local trackage rights granted to UP over 
BNSF's line of railroad between BNSF milepost 579.3 near Mill Creek, 
OK, and BNSF milepost 631.1 near Joe Junction, TX, a distance of 
approximately 51 miles. UP submits that the trackage rights are only 
temporary rights, but, because they are ``local'' rather than 
``overhead'' rights, they do not qualify for the Board's class 
exemption for temporary trackage rights under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8). 
See Union Pacific Railroad Company--Temporary Trackage Rights 
Exemption--BNSF Railway Company, STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-
No. 8) (STB served Jan. 4, 2008).
    \2\ The trackage rights were originally granted in Union Pacific 
Railroad Company--Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption--The 
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company, STB Finance Docket 
No. 34554 (STB served Oct. 7, 2004). Subsequently, the parties filed 
notices of exemption several times based on their agreements to 
extend expiration dates of the same trackage rights. See STB Finance 
Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 2) (served February 11, 2005); STB Finance 
Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 4) (served March 3, 2006); and STB Finance 
Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 6) (served January 12, 2007). Because the 
original and subsequent trackage rights notices were filed under the 
class exemption at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7), under which trackage rights 
normally remain effective indefinitely, in each instance the Board 
granted partial revocation of the class exemption to permit the 
authorized trackage rights to expire. See STB Finance Docket No. 
34554 (Sub-No. 1) (decision served November 24, 2004); STB Finance 
Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 3) (decision served March 25, 2005); STB 
Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 5) (decision served March 23, 
2006); and STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 7) (decision served 
March 13, 2007). At the time of the extension authorized in STB 
Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 6), the parties anticipated that 
the authority to allow the rights to expire would be exercised by 
December 31, 2007. However, the parties filed on December 21, 2007 
in STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 8) their most recent notice 
of exemption so that the trackage rights could be extended to 
December 31, 2008, and in STB Finance Docket No. 34554 (Sub-No. 9) 
their latest petition to partially revoke the class exemption to 
permit expiration, which we are addressing here.

DATES: This exemption is effective on April 19, 2008. Petitions to stay 
must be filed by March 31, 2008. Petitions to reopen must be filed by
