SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. FD 36156]
Chicago South Shore & South Bend
Railroad Company—Lease Exemption
Containing Interchange Commitment—
Wisconsin Central Ltd.
Chicago South Shore & South Bend
Railroad Company (CSS), a Class III rail
carrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to
lease from Wisconsin Central Ltd.
(WCL) and operate approximately 5.64
miles of the City Industrial Track (CIT)
in Gary, Ind., between milepost 1.21 and
milepost 6.85.1
1 CSS states that the CIT is a line of railroad, and
not ancillary (industrial) trackage. However,
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
According to CSS, the lease and
related switching agreement between
CSS and WCL were entered into on
November 14, 2017.2 As required by 49
CFR 1150.43(h)(1), CSS has disclosed in
its verified notice that the lease
agreement contains an interchange
commitment, which affects CSS’s ability
to interchange traffic with carriers other
than WCL. CSS has provided additional
information regarding the interchange
commitment as required by 49 CFR
1150.43(h). CSS states that it will
operate the track it is leasing.
CSS certifies that its projected annual
revenues as a result of the transaction
will not result in CSS’s becoming a
Class II or Class I rail carrier. However,
because its projected annual revenues
exceed $5 million, CSS states that it
provided notice on November 22, 2017,
pursuant to the labor notice
requirements of 49 CFR 1150.42(e).
CSS states that it intends to
consummate the lease agreement on or
after January 21, 2018, the effective date
of the exemption.3
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 12, 2018
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
An original and ten copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
36156, 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 Rose-Michele Nardi,
Transport Counsel PC, 1900 M Street
NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20036.
Board decisions and notices are
available on our website at
‘‘www.stb.gov.’’
Decided: January 2, 2018.
according to CSS, the subject CIT lease transaction
also involves ancillary track not subject to the
Board’s entry licensing requirements, pursuant to
49 U.S.C. 10906.
2 CSS filed a confidential version of the lease and
related switching agreement with its notice of
exemption to be kept confidential by the Board
under 49 CFR 1104.14(a) without the need for the
filing of an accompanying motion for protective
order under 49 CFR 1104.14(b). See 49 CFR
1150.43(h).
3 Pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.42(e), the exemption
may not become effective until 60 days from CSS’s
November 22, 2017 certification.
