Holdings states that HSRR leases the East Line to HIRR.2 According to Holdings, under the proposed transaction, Holdings would acquire HIRR’s lease of the East Line and enter a new lease with HSRR for the remainder of the Lines; Holdings would subsequently designate HSRR as the operator of the Lines and remain the non-operating lessee with residual common carrier obligations.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD

[Docket No. FD 36318]


5900 Holdings LLC--Corporate Family Transaction Exemption

    On July 16, 2019, 5900 Holdings LLC (Holdings), a noncarrier, filed 
a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3), which exempts 
from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323 
``[t]ransactions within a corporate family that do not result in 
adverse changes in service levels, significant operational changes, or 
a change in the competitive balance with carriers outside the corporate 
family.'' 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3).
    Holdings states that it is a newly created limited liability 
company owned by Hainesport Transportation Group, LLC (HTG). HTG is a 
noncarrier holding company that also owns Hainesport Secondary 
Railroad, LLC (HSRR), and Hainesport Industrial Railroad, LLC 
(HIRR).\1\ Holdings states that HSRR currently owns three contiguous 
lots of real property in Hainesport, N.J., which are traversed by two 
rail lines known as the South Line and the East Line (collectively, the 
Lines). Holdings states that HSRR leases the East Line to HIRR.\2\ 
According to Holdings, under the proposed transaction, Holdings would 
acquire HIRR's lease of the East Line and enter a new lease with HSRR 
for the remainder of the Lines; Holdings would subsequently designate 
HSRR as the operator of the Lines and remain the non-operating lessee 
with residual common carrier obligations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In Hainesport Transportation Group, LLC--Corp. Family 
Transaction Exemption, FD 36184 (STB served May 24, 2018), the 
owners of HSRR and HIRR filed a verified notice of exemption under 
1180.2(d)(3) to trade their ownership interests in HSRR and HIRR for 
an identical ownership interest in HTG. The Board determined that, 
because the owners were ``merely inserting HTG, a noncarrier holding 
company, in the chain of control between them and the railroads they 
own,'' the transaction was outside the scope of 11323(a) and did not 
require the Board's prior approval.

Hainesport Secondary R.R., FD 36185 (STB served July 3, 2018).

    Holdings states that the transaction will not result in adverse 
changes in service levels, significant operational changes, or changes 
in the competitive balance with carriers outside the corporate family.
    Holdings states that the purpose of the transaction is to obtain 
new financing.
    The earliest this transaction may be consummated is August 15, 2019 
(30 days after the verified notice of exemption was filed). Holdings 
states that it expects to consummate the transaction on approximately 
August 16, 2019.
    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. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326(c) 
does not provide for labor protection for transactions under 49 U.S.C. 
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 rail 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 for stay must

be filed no later than August 8, 2019 (at least seven days before the 
exemption becomes effective).
    All pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 36318, must be filed with 
the Surface Transportation Board either via e-filing or in writing 
addressed to 395 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20423. In addition, a copy 
of each pleading must be served on Holdings' representative, John D. 
Heffner, Clark Hill, PLC, 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 1300 
South, Washington, DC 20004.

review under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and from historic preservation reporting 
requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b)(1).
