PHMSA has conducted a preliminary
analysis of the exemptions found in
state one-call laws and regulations.
PHMSA is in the process of developing
a plan for addressing grant eligibility in
accordance with the law and will
continue to work with stakeholders
concerning this requirement. This
public forum will allow PHMSA, state
pipeline safety representatives,
excavators, pipeline operators, one-call
centers, the public, facility locators, and
stakeholders often affected by one-call
exemptions such as railroads, local
government and the farming community
to share data and observations resulting
from one-call exemptions and the
impact of removing such exemptions.
This input will facilitate PHMSA’s
ability to complete the study required in
Section 3 of the law.
Participants of the public forum will
benefit from: (1) Understanding the
issue and the current status of states
with regard to exemptions in one-call
laws; (2) understanding the issues
concerning the availability of data to
support or challenge existing
exemptions; and (3) listening to
panelists present perspectives, both
positive and negative, on the existence
of exemptions in state one-call laws.

sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Puget Sound & Pacific Railroad
Company—Lease Exemption—the
United States of America
Puget Sound & Pacific Railroad
Company (PSAP), a Class III rail carrier,
has filed a verified notice of exemption
under 49 CFR 1150.41 to lease from the
United States of America (the Navy),
and to operate, pursuant to a lease
agreement dated January 16, 2013, a 44mile line of railroad between Shelton
and Bangor, Wash., and a 4.6-mile
branch line to the Bremerton Navy Yard,
in Kitsap and Mason Counties, Wash., a
total distance of approximately 48.6
miles (the Line).
According to PSAP, there are no
mileposts on the Line. PSAP states that
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
the lease agreement replaces a
transportation agreement dated
December 11, 1944, between the Navy
and the Northern Pacific Railway
Company (Northern Pacific)1 that covers
the operations of the Line (operating
agreement). PSAP points out that, under
the operating agreement, it currently
provides service on the above-described
48.6 miles of rail line,2 and will
continue to provide the same common
carrier service under the lease
agreement.
PSAP has certified that its projected
annual revenues as a result of this
transaction will not result in PSAP’s
becoming a Class II or Class I rail carrier
but that its projected annual revenue
will exceed $5 million. Accordingly,
PSAP is required, at least 60 days before
this exemption is to become effective, to
send notice of the transaction to the
national offices of the labor unions with
employees on the affected lines, post a
copy of the notice at the workplace of
the employees on the affected lines, and
certify to the Board that it has done so.
49 CFR 1150.42(e).
PSAP has certified to the Board that,
on January 24, 2013, it posted notice of
the transaction at the workplace of the
employees on the affected lines, and on
January 29, 2013, it served a copy of the
notice on the national office of the
potentially affected employees’ labor
union, as required under 49 CFR
1150.42(e). However, concurrently with
its notice of exemption, PSAP filed a
petition for waiver of the 60-day
advance labor notice requirement under
1150.42(e), asserting that no employees
will be affected by the change from the
operating agreement to the lease
agreement, and that the transaction will
not result in any operational or
maintenance changes on the Line.
PSAP’s waiver request will be addressed
in a separate decision.
PSAP states that it intends to
consummate the transaction on
February 28, 2013 (the effective date of
this exemption). The Board will
establish in the decision on the waiver
request the earliest this transaction may
be consummated.
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 effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions for stay must
be filed no later than February 21, 2013.
