On December 17, 2008, US Rail’s representative filed a notice styled a ‘‘corrected’’ notice containing a number of revisions to the original notice. In response, the Board halted publication of the original notice scheduled for December 19, 2008. Because the sought revisions are not de minimis in nature, the corrected notice is being served and published as a new notice today. 3 In Winamac Southern Railway Company— Trackage Rights Exemption—A. & R.

The earliest this transaction may be consummated is January 16, 2009, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the corrected notice exemption was filed). Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, Pub. L.

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 January 9, 2009 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
