Hooper Spur extending from Harvey
Yard, at Harvey, La., south to the end of
the spur at Bayou Street.1
NOGC and UP have recently entered
into a First Supplement to their 2003
Lease Agreement that adds the
following new provisions: (1) The lease
term is extended from September 24,
2013, to September 23, 2023 (Section 1);
(2) NOGC is permitted to construct a
new yard on the leased premises
(Section 2); and (3) NOGC is permitted
to assess a surcharge on all NOGC traffic
in order to undertake capital
investments (Section 3).
NOGC has certified that the Lease
Agreement contains a provision that
may limit future interchange at
Westwego with a third-party connecting
carrier by adjustment in the purchase
price or rental (interchange
commitment). Consequently, the
Board’s new rules established in
Information Required in Notices and
Petitions Containing Interchange
Commitments, EP 714 (STB served Sept.
5, 2013), require applicant to submit the
additional information set forth at 49
CFR 1150.43(h)(1). Applicant has
provided that information.2
NOGC has certified that its projected
annual revenues as a result of this
transaction will not result in NOGC’s
becoming a Class II or Class I rail
carrier, but that its projected annual
revenues will exceed $5 million.
Accordingly, NOGC 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).
NOGC, concurrently with its notice of
exemption, filed a petition for waiver of
the 60-day advance labor notice
requirement under § 1150.42(e),
asserting that: (1) No UP employees will
be affected because no UP employees
have performed operations or
maintenance on the line since 2003; and
(2) no NOGC employees will be affected
because NOGC will continue to provide
the same service and maintenance on
the line as it has been providing since
the inception of the lease. NOGC’s
1 NOGC was granted authority to lease and
operate the rail line in New Orleans & Gulf Coast
Railway—Lease Exemption—Union Pacific
Railroad, FD 34411 (STB served Oct. 20, 2003).
2 Regarding § 1150.43(h)(1)(vi), NOGC states that,
although there is no direct connection to a thirdparty railroad, BNSF Railway Company and the
New Orleans Public Belt are located in very close
proximity to the leased lines.

waiver request will be addressed in a
separate decision.
NOGC states that it intends to
consummate the transaction on or
shortly after the effective date of this
transaction. The Board will establish in
the decision on the waiver request the
earliest date 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 December 5, 2013.
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35777, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, one copy of each pleading
must be served on Karl Morell, Ball
Janik LLP, Suite 225, 655 Fifteenth St.
NW., Washington, DC 20005.
