[FR Doc. 2011–12130 Filed 5–17–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4915–01–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Surface Transportation Board [Docket No. FD 35502] Northern Plains Railroad, Inc.—IntraCorporate Family Operation Exemption—Mohall Central Railroad, Inc. srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Northern Plains Railroad, Inc. (NPR), a Class III rail common carrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3) for a transaction within a corporate family. The transaction allows NPR to continue to operate the rail line of Mohall Central Railroad, Inc. (MHC), also a Class III rail carrier.1 NPR currently operates the MHC line pursuant to an October 18, 2005 Operating Agreement with MHC; 2 however, since MHC became a Class III rail carrier, it has abandoned 2 segments of its rail line.3 This transaction allows NPR to enter into a new agreement to continue to operate the remaining 19.31 miles of MHC’s line, between milepost 48.19, near Munich, and milepost 67.5, near Calvin. NPR, MHC, and a third Class III rail carrier, Mohall Railroad, 1 See Mohall Cent. R.R.—Acquis. & Operation Exemption—Rail Line of BNSF Ry., FD 34759 (STB served Oct. 25, 2005). 2 See N. Plains. R.R.—Operation Exemption—Rail Line of Mohall Cent. R.R., FD 34780 (STB served Dec. 29, 2005) (serving notice that NPR will operate 69.15 miles of rail line owned by MHC, extending from milepost 3.75, near Lakota, N.D., to milepost 72.9, at Sarles, N.D.). 3 See Mohall Cent. R.R.—Aban. Exemption—in Cavalier County, N.D., AB 1003 (Sub-No. 1X) (STB served Dec. 16, 2010) (serving notice that MHC will abandon the segment of its line between milepost 67.5, near Calvin, N.D., and milepost 72.9, at Sarles) and Mohall Cent. R.R.—Aban. Exemption—in Nelson, Ramsey, & Cavalier Counties, N.D., AB 1003X (STB served Oct. 29, 2007) (serving notice that MHC will abandon the segment of its line between milepost 3.75, near Lakota, and milepost 48.19, near Munich, N.D.).

This is a transaction within a corporate family of the type specifically exempted from prior review and approval under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3). According to NPR, the transaction will not result in adverse changes in service levels, significant operational changes, or changes in the competitive balance with carriers outside the corporate family. 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, 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 of the carriers involved are Class III 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 transaction. Petitions for stay must be filed no later than May 25, 2011 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective). An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 35502, 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 Thomas J. Litwiler, Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 920, Chicago, IL 60606. 4 See Gregg Haug—Continuance in Control Exemption—N. Plains R.R., FD 34828 (STB served May 10, 2006).
