1 PGR originally filed its notice of exemption on

Accordingly, September 7, 2012, will be considered
the filing date of the verified notice.

Although PGR indicates that the
proposed transaction will be
consummated no sooner than the 30
days after the verified notice was filed,
under 49 CFR 1150.32(e) this exemption
cannot become effective November 4,
2012 (60 days after PGR submitted its

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. Petitions to stay must be

least seven days before the exemption
becomes effective).
An original and ten copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD

ABE Fairmont, LLC—Acquisition and
Operation Exemption—Fillmore
Western Railway Company
BILLING CODE 4915–01–P
ABE Fairmont, LLC (ABE), a
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to
acquire from Fillmore Western Railway
Company (FWRC) and operate an
approximately 2-mile rail line between
a point of connection with BNSF
Railway Company (BNSF) at BNSF
milepost 1.7 and the north property line
of County Road H, at or near Fairmont,
Fillmore County, Neb.1
The transaction is scheduled to be
consummated on or after October 5,
2012 (30 days after the notice of
exemption was filed).
ABE 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 and 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. Petitions to stay must be
filed no later than September 28, 2012
(at least 7 days before the exemption
becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35673, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
2 PGR explains that, because COER employees are
not members of a labor union, the notice was not
sent to the national office of any labor union.
1 ABE, which operates an ethanol plant adjacent
to the line, purchased the line a number of years
ago from FWRC for its private purposes under the
mistaken belief that the line had been abandoned
and was no longer subject to Board jurisdiction. By
this notice, ABE seeks Board authorization for its
acquisition and operation of what it has recently
learned is an active rail line.
Decided: September 17, 2012.
By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell,
Director, Office of Proceedings.
Jeffrey Herzig,
Clearance Clerk.
