khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Road to milepost 1.5 at Biron Drive in
Biron, Wis.
This transaction is related to a
concurrently filed verified notice of
exemption in Watco Holdings, Inc.—
Continuance in Control Exemption—
Wisconsin Rapids R.R., Docket No. FD
36340, in which Watco Holdings, Inc.,
seeks to continue in control of WRR
upon WRR’s becoming a Class III rail
carrier.
WRR states that it and WCL will
shortly execute a Track Lease and
Operating Agreement pursuant to which
WRR will lease the Line from WCL and
will be the operator of the Line.1 WRR
further states that the proposed
agreement between WRR and WCL does
not contain any provision that limits
WRR’s future interchange of traffic on
the Line with a third-party connecting
carrier.
WRR certifies that its projected
annual revenues as a result of this
transaction will not result in WRR’s
becoming a Class II or Class I rail
carrier. WRR further certifies that the
projected annual revenue of WRR will
not exceed $5 million.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after September 1, 2019, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the verified notice was filed).
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 23, 2019
(at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
1 WRR states that it, WCL, and ND Paper, Inc.
(ND), the sole shipper on the Line, have entered
into arrangements that contemplate WCL’s
abandonment of, and WRR’s discontinuance of
service on, the Line; ND’s subsequent acquisition of
the trackage as a noncarrier; and WRR’s provision
of switching service for ND on what will then be
ND industry trackage. WRR states that it is leasing
the Line from WCL and submitting its verified
notice of exemption here at the request of ND, so
that WRR service to ND can begin immediately
while the parties’ longer-term arrangements are
implemented. Acquisitions of active rail lines under
49 U.S.C. 10901 are supposed to be for continued
rail use. See, e.g., Land Conservancy—Acquis. &
Operation Exemption—Burlington N. & Santa Fe
Ry., 2 S.T.B. 673 (1997), recons. denied, FD 33389
(STB served May 13, 1998), pet. for judicial review
dismissed sub nom. Land Conservancy of Seattle &
King Cty. v. STB, 238 F.3d 429 (9th Cir. 2000). If
WRR elects to file for discontinuance authority, it
must submit evidence showing that discontinuance
of service over the Line is warranted under the
Board’s statutory authority and rules, and must,
under these circumstances, demonstrate (e.g., by
providing the parties’ agreement or a statement
from ND) that the interests of the shipper here will
be protected. See Almono LP—Acquis. & Operation
Exemption—Line of Monogahela Connecting R.R.,
FD 34250, slip op. 1 n.2 (STB served Oct. 2, 2002).

FD 36339, must be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board either via
e-filing or in writing addressed to 395 E
Street SW, Washington, DC 20423–0001.
In addition, a copy of each pleading
must be served on WRR’s
representative, Audrey L. Brodrick,
Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North Wacker
Drive, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60606.
According to WRR, this action is
excluded from environmental review
under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and from
historic reporting requirements under
49 CFR 1105.8(b).
