The proposed transaction is therefore exempt from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323 pursuant to 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). Applicants state that the proposed transaction is intended to promote the investment objectives of SteelRiver, Devco, and SRTH and to improve the efficiency, financial strength, and ability of GNRR and BRSE to meet the needs of shippers. There are no current plans to make substantial changes in the dayto-day operations of GNRR or BRSE, to sell GNRR or BRSE, or to abandon rail lines in connection with the proposed transaction. Applicants state that they do not contemplate making significant changes in the current workforces at GNRR or BRSE. 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 by November 6, 2015 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective). An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 35967 must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20423–0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be served on: Louis E. Gitomer, Esq., Law Offices of Louis E. Gitomer, LLC, 600 Baltimore Avenue, Suite 301, Towson, MD 21204. Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at: ‘‘WWW.STB.DOT.GOV’’. Decided: October 27, 2015. By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings.
