Grafton & Upton Railroad Company—
Petition for Declaratory Order
Grafton & Upton Railroad Company
(G&U) filed a petition for a declaratory
order on July 24, 2013, requesting a
finding that 49 U.S.C. 10501(b)
preempts certain state and local
permitting and preclearance statutes
and regulations that the Town of
Grafton, Mass. (Grafton or the Town)
seeks to enforce in connection with
G&U’s construction and operation of a
liquefied petroleum gas (propane)
transload facility on a five-acre parcel
(the Parcel) that G&U owns in North
Grafton. G&U states that it intends to
use the facility to transfer propane
received by tank car in North Grafton to
storage tanks and then to trucks for
delivery to propane dealers in New
England. Pending the completion of the
construction, G&U intends to use
portable equipment to transload the
propane. For the reasons discussed
below, a declaratory order proceeding
will be instituted and a procedural
schedule will be adopted.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
The Parcel is located immediately
adjacent to G&U’s line and existing rail
yard.1 In December 2012, G&U notified
the Town that four propane storage
tanks were about to be delivered to its
rail yard. The Town responded by
issuing a cease and desist order to halt
construction and by filing a complaint
in the Superior Court for Worcester
County, Mass. (Court), arguing that
construction of the transload facility
would be illegal and would violate the
Town’s zoning bylaws. These actions
ultimately resulted in the Court entering
two orders on June 12, 2013, which: (1)
Enjoined the delivery of the storage
tanks; (2) directed G&U to comply with
the cease and desist order; (3) stayed the
Court proceedings pending a
determination by the Board concerning
the applicability of 10501(b); and (4)
referred the preemption issue to the
Board, directing G&U to file a petition
for declaratory order.
In the petition, G&U requests that the
Board find that Grafton is preempted
from enforcing state and local
permitting and preclearance statutes
and regulations in connection with both
the construction and operation of the
transload facility and the interim use of
portable transload equipment. Grafton,
in a reply filed on August 19, 2013,
agrees that the Board should institute a
declaratory order proceeding here. It
questions whether G&U can and will
finance, complete, and operate the
transload facility on its own in view of
certain agreements G&U had previously
entered into with a number of propane
companies. The Town argues that a full
investigation should be conducted to
prevent what it characterizes as an
abuse of the preemption doctrine.2 On
September 9, 2013, G&U filed a motion
for leave to supplement its petition and
a supplement containing copies of the
various agreements documenting the
termination of its arrangements with
these propane companies. Grafton filed
a reply in opposition on September 17,
2013.
1 In a separate decision also served today, the
Board issued a declaratory order holding that
preclearance regulations and other requirements of
the Town of Grafton, Mass., that would prohibit or
unreasonably interfere with the construction and
operation of an additional rail yard and storage
tracks also on the Parcel are preempted by federal
law. See Grafton & Upton Railroad—Pet. for
Declaratory Order, FD 35779 (served Jan. 27, 2014).
2 The American Short Line and Regional Railroad
Association filed a letter in support of the petition
on August 12, 2013. On August 23, 2013, the
Massachusetts Department of Fire Services filed a
reply in support of the petition, and the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection filed a reply in opposition, contending
that the petition is moot as a result of a settlement
it negotiated with G&U.

The Board has discretionary authority
under 5 U.S.C. 554(e) and 49 U.S.C. 721
to issue a declaratory order to eliminate
a controversy or remove uncertainty.
Here, a controversy exists as to whether
G&U would be the financier, owner, and
operator of the proposed transload
facility and whether the Town’s
enforcement of state and local
permitting and preclearance statutes
and regulations in connection with the
facility is preempted under 10501(b).
The Board will therefore institute a
declaratory order proceeding and
consider the matter under the modified
procedure rules at 49 CFR part 1112.
This action will not significantly
affect either the quality of the human
environment or the conservation of
energy resources.
It is ordered:
1. A declaratory order proceeding is
instituted.
2. G&U is directed to submit
additional information and argument by
February 28, 2014. Grafton’s reply and
comments from other interested persons
are due by March 20, 2014.
3. This decision is effective on its
service date.
Decided: January 24, 2014.
By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell,
Director, Office of Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.
