The transaction may not be
consummated until January 22, 2016 (30

Jackson County certifies that its
projected annual revenues as a result of
this transaction will not result in its

and will not exceed $5 million.
Jackson County states that the
agreement between the parties does not
contain any provision that prohibits it
from interchanging traffic with a third
party or limits its ability to interchange
with a third party.
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

becomes effective).
