According to NLA, the initial term of the lease agreement shall be for a 20year period, beginning on the effective date of the Board’s decision that approves the proposed transaction. NLA states that the lease does not involve any provision or agreement that would limit future interchange with a thirdparty connecting carrier. NLA has included a copy of the lease agreement as part of its filing. The earliest the transaction can be consummated is April 11, 2012, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption was filed). NLA certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier.
