Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 179 / Thursday, September 16, 2010 / Notices
Board decisions and notices are
available at our Web site at https://
www.stb.dot.gov.
It is ordered:
1. The delegation of authority of the
Office of Proceedings, under 49 CFR
1011.7(b)(10), to determine whether to
issue a notice of exemption in this
proceeding is revoked.
2. This decision is effective on the
date of service.
Decided: September 13, 2010.
By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice
Chairman Mulvey, and Commissioner
Nottingham. Vice Chairman Mulvey
dissented with a separate expression.
Vice Chairman Mulvey, dissenting:
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Once again, I must disagree with the
Board’s decision to allow a transaction
containing a significant interchange
commitment to be processed under the
Board’s class exemption procedures at 49
CFR 1150.41. I believe that it is incumbent
for the Board to take a close look at
interchange commitments before permitting
them to become effective, particularly when
they contain outright bans on interchange
with third-party carriers or, as here,
economic incentives that can only be
evaluated with the provision of additional
information.
Here, M&NJ seeks authorization to lease or
sublease approximately 36 miles from NSR.
As disclosed in the M&NJ’s Verified Notice
of Exemption, the lease agreement contains
an interchange commitment that gives M&NJ
a ‘‘credit’’ toward its annual lease payment for
every car that it interchanges with NSR at
Campbell Hall, NY. But the notice of
exemption and supporting documents do not
explain (1) whether the ‘‘credit’’ is so large vis
a vis the projected carloads and annual lease
payment as to eliminate any incentive by
M&NJ to interchange with a third-party
carrier, (2) how many shippers and carloads
will be impacted by the interchange
commitment, (3) and what competitive
routing options are being foreclosed during
the term of the lease.1 I believe that all of this
information, which would be obtained
through the Board’s more detailed
application or a petition for exemption
procedures, is necessary to understand the
impact of this new lease.
The trickle of transactions with
interchange commitments since the Board’s
2008 interchange commitment disclosure
rules were adopted has turned into a steady
drip.2 Although the disclosure rules were an
important first step to regulating interchange
commitments, I urge my colleagues to closely
scrutinize newly proposed long-term leases
1 Indeed, M&NJ’s Verified Notice of Exemption
does not even indicate how long the proposed lease
would be in effect. The Board has included that
information in its decision.
