[Docket No. FD 35365]
Michael Williams–Control Exemption–
St. Maries River Railroad, Inc.
Michael Williams (applicant),1 a
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption to acquire control of St.
Maries River Railroad, Inc. (STMA), a
Class III railroad, through the purchase
of all of STMA’s stock from STMA’s
parent, Potlatch Land & Lumber, LLC,
by Williams Group, Inc. (WG).2
Applicant currently controls two Class
III railroads through stock ownership:
BG & CM Railroad (BG & CM), which
operates in Idaho; and Ozark Valley
Railroad (OVRR), which operates in
Missouri.3 Applicant will control STMA
through WG.
The parties intend to consummate the
transaction by May 28, 2010. Applicant,
however, may not consummate the
transaction prior to the May 12, 2010
effective date of this exemption.
Applicant states that: (i) STMA does
not connect with any rail lines of the BG
& CM, OVRR, or any other railroad now
controlled by applicant; (ii) the
acquisition of control of STMA is not
part of a series of anticipated
transactions that would connect any of
the railroads with each other or with
any railroad in their corporate family;
and (iii) this 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).
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,
1 Applicant has also concurrently filed a motion
for protective order pursuant to 49 CFR 1104.14(b)
to allow applicant to file the unredacted Stock
Purchase Agreement under seal. That motion will
be addressed in a separate decision.
2 WG is a noncarrier holding company, which is
wholly owned and controlled by applicant.
3 Applicant indicates that it expects to file shortly
a notice of exemption to acquire the stock of Dakota
Southern Railway Company (DSRA), a Class III rail
carrier, which operates in South Dakota. Approval
for the proposed acquisition of control of DSRA is
not authorized in this proceeding.

does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under §§ 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 May 5, 2010 (at
least 7 days before the exemption
becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35365, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, one copy of each pleading
must be served on Charles H. Montange,
426 NW. 162nd Street, Seattle, WA
98177.

available on our Web site at: ‘‘https://
www.stb.dot.gov.’’
Decided: April 22, 2010.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
