PSRR will also lease BNSF’s approximately 0.3mile (not including the yard tracks) Miramar Spur and rail yard located east of milepost 252.9 on BNSF’s San Diego Subdivision. BNSF will also grant PSRR incidental trackage rights to provide local service over BNSF’s approximately 45.49-mile reserved rail freight service easement on the San Diego Subdivision between milepost 252.9, near San Diego, CA, and milepost 207.41, at the San Diego County and Orange County border, including the Stuart Mesa Yard. This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice of exemption in STB Finance Docket No. 35174, Watco Companies, Inc.— Continuance in Control Exemption— Pacific Sun Railroad, L.L.C. In that proceeding, Watco Companies, Inc., has filed a verified notice of exemption to continue in control of PSRR upon PSRR’s becoming a Class III rail carrier. PSRR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of the transaction will not result in PSRR becoming a Class II or Class I rail carrier and further certifies that its projected annual revenues will not exceed $5 million. The transaction is expected to be consummated on or about October 24, 2008, and hence after the October 17, 2008 effective date of the exemption. Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, Pub. L. No. 110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 (2007), nothing in this decision authorizes the following activities at any solid waste rail transfer facility: collecting, storing or transferring solid waste outside of its original shipping container; or separating or processing solid waste (including baling, crushing, compacting and shredding). The term ‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6903. If the verified 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 October 10, 2008 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective). that prohibits PSRR from interchanging traffic with a third party. VerDate Aug<31>2005 23:33 Oct 02, 2008 Jkt 217001 An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB Finance Docket No. 35173, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423– 0001.
