City of Belfast, Me.—Acquisition
Exemption—Certain Assets of Belfast
and Moosehead Lake Railroad
Company
BILLING CODE 4915–01–P
The City of Belfast, Me. (the City), a
noncarrier municipality, has filed a
verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1150.31 to acquire a line of railroad
between Pierce Street in downtown
Belfast, Me., to the Belfast/Waldo town
line at milepost 3.14 (the Line).1
The City states that it acquired the
Line from Unity Property Management
by Release Deed dated July 2, 2010. The
City now seeks Board authorization for
that transaction. The City states that it
has not provided any freight service
over the Line and was not aware at the
time that it needed Board authorization
to acquire the Line.
The City certifies that it derives only
de minimis revenue from the Line and
that the projected annual revenues as a
result of this transaction will not exceed
those that would qualify the City as a
Class III rail carrier.
The exemption will become effective
on January 9, 2014.2
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)
Surface Transportation Board
1 In a related proceeding currently held in
abeyance, the City is seeking authorization to
abandon a portion of the Line. See City of Belfast,
Me.—Aban. Exemption—in Belfast, Me., Docket No.
AB 1109X.
2 This notice was scheduled to be published in
the Federal Register during the time that the agency
was closed due to a lapse in appropriations.
Publication of this notice was further delayed by
the unique circumstances of this case and the
related abandonment proceeding. As a result, the
effective date of the exemption has been delayed.

California High-Speed Rail Authority—
Construction Exemption—In Fresno,
Kings, Tulare, and Kern Counties, CA
By petition filed on September 26,
2013, California High-Speed Rail
Authority (Authority), a state agency
formed in 1996, seeks an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from the prior
approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.
10901 for authority to construct an
approximately 114-mile high-speed
passenger rail line between Fresno and
Bakersfield, Cal. (the Line).1
In a decision served December 4,
2013, and published in the Federal
Register on December 9, 2013 (78 Fed.
Reg. 73,921), the Board instituted a
proceeding and extended the deadline
for comments on the transportation
merits of the proposed construction to
December 24, 2013. The Board also
denied the Authority’s request that the
Board conditionally grant the exemption
authority by addressing the
transportation aspects of the proposed
project before the environmental review
process has been completed.
1 By decision served June 13, 2013, in California
High-Speed Rail Authority—Construction
Exemption—in Merced, Madera, & Fresno Counties,
Cal., FD 35724 (the main docket), the Board granted
an exemption for the Authority to construct the first
65-mile segment of the planned California HighSpeed Train System (HST System), between Merced
and Fresno, California. The Line is the second
segment of the proposed HST System.
