Decatur Central Railroad, L.L.C.—
Change in Operator Exemption—
Decatur Junction Railway Co.
Decatur Central Railroad, L.L.C. (DC),
a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice
of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to
assume operations of a rail line located
between milepost 14.22 in Cisco, Piatt
18 17
CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
County, Ill., and milepost 27.63 (Green’s
Switch) near Decatur, Macon County,
Ill., a distance of approximately 13
miles (the Line). The Line is currently
leased to and operated by Decatur
Junction Railway Co. (DJRC), which
consents to the proposed change in
operators. DC will become a rail carrier
as a result of this transaction.
DC describes itself as a joint venture
between OmniTRAX Holdings
Combined, Inc. and Topflight Grain
Cooperative, Inc., which each own 50%
of DC. DJRC has agreed to relinquish to
DC, and DC has agreed to assume, the
exclusive common carrier obligation
over the Line.
DC states that the agreement by which
it will assume operations does not
contain any provision that prohibits DC
from interchanging traffic with a third
party or limits DC’s ability to
interchange traffic with a third party
railroad.
DC certifies that the proposed
transaction will not result in DC’s
becoming a Class II or Class I rail
carrier. DC will become a Class III
carrier upon consummation of the
proposed transaction, but the projected
annual revenue of DC will not exceed $5
million. Under 49 CFR 1150.32(b), a
change in operator requires that notice
be given to shippers. DC certifies that it
has provided notice of the proposed
change in operator to the only shipper
on the Line.
The earliest this transaction can be
consummated is January 21, 2017, the
effective date of the exemption.1
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 for stay must
be filed no later than January 13, 2017
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
36080, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, one copy of each pleading
must be served on Karl Morell, Karl
Morell & Associates, Suite 225, 655
Fifteenth Street NW., Washington, DC
20005.
1 DC filed its verified notice of exemption on
December 8, 2016, and supplemented it by letter
filed on December 22, 2016. The date of DC’s
supplement will be considered the filing date for
purposes of calculating the effective date of the
exemption.

CSX Transportation, Inc.—
Discontinuance of Service
Exemption—in Boone County, W. Va.
CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR pt. 1152 subpart F—Exempt
Abandonments and Discontinuances of
Service to discontinue service over an
approximately 9.9-mile rail line on
CSXT’s Southern Region, Florence
Division, Seth Subdivision, between
milepost CLN 0.3 and milepost CLN
10.2 in Boone County, W. Va. (the Line).
The Line traverses United States Postal
Service Zip Code 25181. There is one
station on the Line, Prenter, located at
milepost CLN 10 (FSAC 82243/OPSL
64790).1
CSXT has certified that: (1) No local
traffic has moved over the Line for at
least two years; (2) because the Line is
not a through route, no overhead traffic
has operated, and, therefore, none needs
to be rerouted over other lines; (3) no
formal complaint filed by a user of rail
service on the Line (or by a state or local
government entity acting on behalf of
such user) regarding cessation of service
over the Line is pending either with the
Surface Transportation Board (Board) or
with any U.S. District Court or has been
decided in favor of complainant within
the two-year period; and (4) the
requirements at 49 CFR 1105.12
(newspaper publication) and 49 CFR
1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental
agencies) have been met.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
discontinuance of service shall be
protected under Oregon Short Line
Railroad—Abandonment Portion
Goshen Branch Between Firth &
Ammon, in Bingham & Bonneville
Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). To
address whether this condition
adequately protects affected employees,
a petition for partial revocation under
49 U.S.C. 10502(d) must be filed.
1 CSXT states that the Prenter station can be
closed.

Hours of Service of Drivers: Dillon
Transportation LLC; Application for
Exemption
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of application for
exemption; request for comments.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces that it has
received an application from Dillon
Transportation LLC (Dillon) for an
exemption from certain provisions of
the Agency’s hours-of-service (HOS)
regulations. Dillon proposes that its
team drivers be granted an exemption
from the HOS rules pertaining to use of
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
2 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which is currently set at $1,700. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
3 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and
not an abandonment, interim trail use/rail banking
and public use conditions are not appropriate.
Because there will be an environmental review
during abandonment, this discontinuance does not
require an environmental review.
