tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
California High-Speed Rail Authority—
Construction Exemption—in Merced,
Madera and Fresno Counties, Cal
On March 27, 2013, California HighSpeed Rail Authority (Authority), a
noncarrier state agency, filed a petition
for exemption (Petition) under 49 U.S.C.
10502 from the prior approval
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10901 to
construct an approximately 65-mile
dedicated high-speed passenger rail line
between Merced and Fresno, California
(the Project). Concurrently, the
Authority filed a motion to dismiss the
Petition for lack of jurisdiction (Motion
to Dismiss), asserting that the Project
does not require Board approval under
49 U.S.C. 10901 because it will be
located entirely within California, will
provide only intrastate passenger rail
service, and will not be constructed or
operated ‘‘as part of the interstate rail

network’’ under 49 U.S.C.
10501(a)(2)(A).
The Project is one section of the
planned California High-Speed Train
System (HST). Also referred to as the
Merced to Fresno HST Section,1 the
Project would be the first of nine
sections of the HST, which, when
complete, would provide intercity
passenger rail service at speeds up to
220 miles per hour over more than 800
miles of rail line, primarily between San
Diego and San Francisco.2 The
Authority intends to construct the
Project in segments and plans to award
contracts for the final design and
construction of the first 29-mile portion
of the approximately 65-mile line in the
Project in the spring or summer of
2013.3 For that reason, the Authority
requests expedited consideration of the
Petition and Motion to Dismiss and a
decision effective by June 17, 2013.
To date, the Board has received
comments from Federal, state and local

elected officials, residents, landowners,
water districts, school districts,
grassroots organizations, and other
interested parties. Several of those
parties have requested an extension of
the 20-day period for replies under 49
CFR 1104.13(a). On April 11, 2013, the
Authority responded that it would have
no objection to a 15-day extension of the
deadline for filing replies to the Motion
to Dismiss and Petition (to May 1) but
would object to a longer extension.4 By
decision served April 15, 2013, the
Board instituted a proceeding and tolled
the period for filing responses to the
Petition and the Motion to Dismiss
pending further Board order.
Motion to Dismiss. The record
currently before the Board, along with
other publicly available materials,
provides sufficient information for the
Board to conclude that it has
jurisdiction over construction of the
California HST system, including the
Project. Therefore, replies to the Motion
to Dismiss are unnecessary, and the
Motion to Dismiss will be denied. The
Board will set forth its reasons for
