North Louisiana & Arkansas Railroad,
Inc.—Lease and Operation
Exemption—Line of Southeastern
Arkansas Economic Development
District
North Louisiana & Arkansas Railroad,
Inc. (NLA), a Class III rail carrier, has
filed a verified notice of exemption
under 49 CFR 1150.41 to lease from
Southeastern Arkansas Economic
Development District (SAEDD), a
noncarrier political subdivision of the
State of Arkansas, and to operate, a 21.8mile line of railroad extending between
milepost 433.0 at or near Lake Village in
Chicot County, Ark., and milepost 454.8
at or near the Louisiana/Arkansas
border.
NLA states that, at the present time,
the 21.8-mile line is impassable, but
once Board authorization of the lease
has been obtained and rehabilitation of
the line has been completed, it will
commence operations. NLA also states
that it will interchange traffic with the
Union Pacific Railroad Company,
Arkansas Midland Railroad Company
and Delta Southern Railroad.
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. NLA further
certifies that its projected annual
revenues as a result of this transaction
will not exceed $5 million.
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. Stay petitions must be
filed no later than April 4, 2012 (at least
7 days before the exemption becomes
effective).
