In contrast, N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.30 requires that the vehicles that transport regulated medical waste have: (1) The name of the transporter; (2) the NJDEP solid waste transporter registration number; and (3) either the words ‘‘Medical Waste’’ or ‘‘Infectious Waste’’ on two sides and the back of the cargocarrying body. The N.J.A.C. marking requirement is not substantively the same as the HMR and is therefore preempted. IV. Ruling Federal hazardous material transportation law preempts the following requirements in the New Jersey Administrative Code (N.J.A.C.) because the requirements are not substantively the same as the requirements in the HMR: 1. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.10(a) that generators must separate into different containers before transport sharps, fluids (greater than 20 cc), and other regulated medical waste; 2. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.11(d) which allows a generator to ship oversized medical waste without placing it in a packaging as required by the HMR; 3. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.14 that the words ‘‘Medical Waste’’ or ‘‘Infectious Waste’’ must be labeled on the outside of the package when there is untreated regulated medical waste; 4. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.15 that each ‘‘generator shall mark each individual container of regulated medical waste in accordance with all applicable Federal regulations. . . . .’’ and that the markings must include details of the transporter’s name, the date of shipment, the intermediate handler’s name, and other specific information; 5. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.19 and those provisions of 7:26–3A.31 which require the use of a specific ‘‘tracking form’’ to accompany shipments of regulated medical waste that are prescribed for either the generator or the transporter; 6. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.28 that, when transferring between transporters, each transporter must place a water resistant tag below the generator’s marking on the outer surface of the container with the transporter’s name, solid waste registration number, and date of receipt; and 7. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.30 which requires that a vehicle used to transport regulated medical waste must have: (1) The name of the transporter; (2) the NJDEP solid waste transporter registration number; and (3) either the words ‘‘Medical Waste’’ or ‘‘Infectious VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:45 Dec 11, 2013 Jkt 232001 Waste’’ on two sides and the back of the cargo-carrying body. 8. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.45 to the extent that it requires rail transporters to comply with the transporter requirements of 7:26–3A.28 and 7:26– 3A.30. 9. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.46 which requires a specific tracking form to accompany shipments of regulated medical waste for rail transporters. Federal hazardous material transportation law does not preempt the following requirements because they do not create an obstacle in complying with the HMR. 1. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.21(a)(1) to the extent that it requires the generator to retain a copy of the shipping paper for at least three years from the date the regulated medical waste was accepted by the transporter; 2. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.21(a)(2) to the extent that it requires the generator to retain a copy of any exception report for at least three years after the day the exception report was submitted; 3. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.22 to the extent that it requires the generator of the regulated medical waste to file an exception report with the state when a transporter and/or destination facility notifies the generator of any discrepancy between the shipment as accepted by the initial transporter and delivered to the destination facility; 4. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.32 to the extent that it requires the transporter to deliver the entire quantity of regulated medical waste to the proper party listed on the tracking form; 5. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.33 to the extent that does not require a particular form to be used to consolidate the multiple shipments; 6. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.34 to the extent that it requires that the transporter of the regulated medical waste to retain a copy of the shipping paper for at least three years from the date the regulated medical waste was accepted by the next party; and 7. N.J.A.C. 7:26–3A.41 to the extent that it requires intermediate handlers and destination facilities to certify that they had received the listed regulated medical waste. V.

Mark W. Dobronski and Susan K. Dobronski--Acquisition of Control 
Exemption--Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Company, Charlotte Southern 
Railroad Company, Detroit Connecting Railroad Company, Lapeer 
Industrial Railroad Company and Jackson & Lansing Railroad Company

    Mark W. Dobronski and Susan K. Dobronski (Applicants), both 
noncarriers, have filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 
1180(d)(2) to indirectly control Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Company 
(ADBF), a Class III railroad, and ADBF's four Class III railroad 
subsidiaries: Charlotte Southern Railroad Company (CHS), Detroit 
Connecting Railroad Company (DCON), Lapeer Industrial Railroad Company 
(LIRR), and Jackson & Lansing Railroad Company (JAIL).
    Applicants state that they control Ferrovia, L.L.C. (Ferrovia), 
also a noncarrier and a limited liability company, which, until very 
recently, owned 50 percent of ADBF. On November 15, 2013, two minority 
shareholders of ADBF were required by court order to sell their 
outstanding shares back to ADBF. As a result, Ferrovia now owns 58.33 
percent of the outstanding shares of ADBF and therefore directly 
controls ADBF and indirectly controls CHS, DCON, LIRR,

[[Page 75677]]

and JAIL. Applicants, in turn, now indirectly control ADBF, CHS, DCON, 
LIRR, and JAIL. Applicants state that they have not entered into an 
agreement rendering them in indirect control of ADBF and its four 
carrier subsidiaries.
    The transaction is expected to be consummated on December 26, 2013 
(the effective date of the exemption, 30 days after the notice of 
exemption was filed).
    Petitioners state that: (1) The rail lines operated by ADBF and its 
four subsidiaries do not connect with each other; \1\ (2) this 
transaction is not part of a series of anticipated transactions that 
would connect the rail lines operated by ADBF, CHS, DCON, LIRR, and 
JAIL with any of their affiliated railroads; and (3) this transaction 
does not involve a Class I rail carrier. Therefore, the transaction is 
exempt from the prior approval acquirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323 pursuant 
to 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ADBF operates a 20-mile rail line between Adrian and Riga, 
Mich. CHS operates a 3.5-mile rail line near Charlotte, Mich. DCON 
operates a 2.5-mile rail line in Detroit, Mich. LIRR operates a 1.5-
mile rail line in LaPeer, Mich. JAIL operates a 47-mile rail line 
between Jackson and Lansing, Mich.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board may not use its exemption 
authority to relieve a rail carrier of its statutory obligation to 
protect the interests of its employees. Section 11326(c), however, does 
not provide for labor protection for transactions under 11324 and 11325 
that involve only Class III rail carriers. Accordingly, the Board may 
not impose labor protective conditions here because all of the carriers 
involved are Class III carriers.
    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 December 19, 
2013 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35787, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy must be 
served on Karl Morell, Ball Janik LLP, 655 Fifteenth Street, NW., Suite 
225, Washington, DC 20005.
