CCET, LLC—Lease and Operation
Exemption—Rail Line of Norfolk
Southern Railway Company
CCET, LLC (CCET), a noncarrier, has
filed a verified notice of exemption
under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease from
Norfolk Southern Railway Company
(NSR), and to operate, pursuant to a
lease agreement dated March 14, 2014,
an approximately 24-mile portion of
NSR’s CT Line, extending between
milepost CT 9.0 at Clare, Ohio, east of
Clare Yard, and milepost CT 32.83, west
of Williamsburg, Ohio, and passing
through Hamilton County and Clermont
County, Ohio (the Line).
According to CCET, the lease does not
contain any provision that prohibits,
restricts, or would otherwise limit
future interchange of traffic with any
third-party carrier. CCET states that it
E:\FR\FM\04APN1.SGM
04APN1
18948
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 65 / Friday, April 4, 2014 / Notices
will hold itself out to provide all
common carrier rail freight service over
the Line, with NSR retaining limited
overhead trackage rights.
CCET intends to consummate the
proposed transaction on or after April
27, 2014, which is after the effective
date of this exemption (30 days after the
exemption was filed).
CCET certifies that their projected
annual revenues as a result of this
transaction will not result in its
becoming a Class I or Class II rail carrier
and will not exceed $5 million.
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 by April 11, 2014 (at least seven
days prior to the date the exemption
becomes effective).
An original and ten copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35810, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board
has been closely monitoring the rail
industry’s performance metrics, and is
concerned about the service problems
that have been occurring across
significant portions of the nation’s rail
network, particularly on the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company (CP) and
BNSF Railway Company (BNSF)
systems. The Board Members have
written to CP and BNSF 1 to express

concerns that poor service is negatively
affecting agricultural, coal, passenger,
and other traffic. Per the Board’s
request, senior management
representatives of CP and BNSF met
individually with each Board Member,
and the Board requested certain
additional data from CP and BNSF.
The Board’s Office of Public
Assistance, Governmental Affairs and
Compliance (OPAGAC) has also been
working with CP and BNSF to address
and correct service issues as they arise.
Representatives of OPAGAC have held
numerous meetings and conference calls
with affected parties to better
understand the specific problems
shippers are facing, and to help
facilitate a quick resolution whenever
possible. Board staff has facilitated
meetings in Fargo, North Dakota, on
service issues with shippers from North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and
Montana. We anticipate that, following
this public hearing, additional field
meetings in other affected areas will be
held. The Board’s hearing is not
intended to replace the informal and
confidential process facilitated by
OPAGAC, and shippers and railroads
are encouraged to continue
communicating through that office.
The Board will hold a public hearing
beginning at 9:30 a.m., on April 10,
2014,2 at its offices in Washington, DC,
to provide an opportunity for interested
persons to report on the status of rail
service and to discuss ways to remedy
the current service problems.3 The
Board will direct executive-level
officials from CP and BNSF to appear at
the hearing to discuss their ongoing and
future efforts to improve service on their
railroads and to provide an estimated
timeline for a return to normal service
levels. The Board particularly
encourages impacted shippers and/or
shipper organizations to appear at the
hearing to discuss their service concerns
and to comment on the railroads’
(open tab at ‘‘E-Library, select ‘‘Correspondence’’,
select ‘‘Fall Peak Letters’’, follow ‘‘03/06/2014’’
hyperlink, and select the ‘‘.pdf’’ icon).
2 Our regulations at 49 CFR 1012.3(c) provide
generally for at least seven days’ advance notice of
a public meeting. This decision is being served
more than seven days in advance of the April 10
hearing. Although Federal Register publication will
not be effected until April 7, 2014, we find that the
service issues discussed above require that this
hearing be held as soon as possible. See 49 CFR
1012.3(e).
3 The Board and other agencies have held similar
hearings in the past to address transportation
service issues. See, e.g., Rail Transp. of Res. Critical
to the Nation’s Energy Supply, EP 672 (STB served
June 6, 2007); Notice of Discussions, AD06–8–000
(FERC issued May 30, 2006); Discussions with
Utility & R.R. Representatives on Market &
Reliability Matters, AD06–8–000 (FERC Transcript
dated May 23, 2006).
