SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. FD 36440]
OPSEU Pension Plan Trust Fund,
Jaguar Transport Holdings, LLC, and
Jaguar Rail Holdings, LLC—
Acquisition of Control Exemption—
Cimarron Valley Railroad, L.C.;
Southwestern Railroad, Inc.; Texas &
Eastern Railroad, LLC; Washington
Eastern Railroad, LLC; and Wyoming
and Colorado Railroad, Inc.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
OPSEU Pension Plan Trust Fund (OP
Trust), Jaguar Transport Holdings, LLC
(JTH), and Jaguar Rail Holdings, LLC
(JRH) (collectively, Jaguar), all
noncarriers, have filed a verified notice
of exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2)
to acquire control of Cimarron Valley
Railroad, L.C. (CVRR); Southwestern
Railroad, Inc. (SWRR); Texas & Eastern
Railroad, LLC (TERR); Washington
Eastern Railroad, LLC (WERR); and
Wyoming and Colorado Railroad, Inc.
(WYCO) (collectively, Western
Railroads) 1 each a Class III rail carrier.
The verified notice states that OP
Trust invests and manages one of
Canada’s largest pension funds and
indirectly controls JRH and JTH, which
in turn controls West Memphis Base
Railroad, L.L.C (WMBR), a Class III rail
carrier located in Arkansas. According
to the verified notice, pursuant to an asyet unexecuted Stock and Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement among
Snowy Range Cattle Company, Inc., and
David L. Durbano on behalf of the
sellers and JRH as the buyer, JRH will
acquire direct control of SWRR, TERR,
and WYCO and, through JRH’s
acquisition of control of WYCO, indirect
control of CVRR and WERR.2
1 Jaguar states that CVRR is located in Kansas,
Colorado, and Oklahoma; SWRR is located in New
Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma; TERR is located in
Texas; WERR is located in Washington; and WYCO
is located in Oregon. On October 6, 2020, Jaguar
supplemented its verified notice of exemption with
a map depicting SWRR’s Shattuck Subdivision.
According to Jaguar, it learned that SWRR sought
and obtained abandonment authority for the
Shattuck Subdivision but did not give timely notice
of consummation under the Board’s regulations,
although that trackage has been removed and the
corridor sold. (See Verified Notice of Exemption 4
n.2.) Accordingly, Jaguar acknowledges that SWRR
maintains a common carrier obligation over the
Shattuck Subdivision. Id.
2 Concurrently with its verified notice, Jaguar
filed a motion for protective order under 49 CFR
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:59 Oct 15, 2020
Jkt 253001
The earliest the transaction may be
consummated is October 30, 2020, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the verified notice was filed).3
The verified notice states that: (1)
WMBR would not connect with any of
the Western Railroads, and none of the
Western Railroads connect with each
other; (2) the subject acquisition of
control is not intended to connect the
Western Railroads to one another or
with WMBR; and (3) the proposed
transaction does not involve a Class I
carrier. Therefore, the transaction is
exempt from the prior approval
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323. See 49
CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
Jaguar states that the proposed
transaction will promote Jaguar’s
investment objectives and sustain the
Western Railroads’ efficiency, financial
strength, and ability to meet the needs
of shippers.
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 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 to stay must be
filed no later than October 23, 2020 (at
least seven days before the exemption
becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36440, 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 Jaguar’s
representative, Robert A. Wimbish,
Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North Wacker
Drive, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60606–
3208.
According to Jaguar, this action is
categorically excluded from
environmental review under 49 CFR
1105.6(c) and from historic review
under 49 CFR 1105.8(b).
Board decisions and notices are
available at www.stb.gov.
1104.14(b), which will be addressed in a separate
decision.
3 Jaguar states that it intends to consummate the
proposed transaction on November 1, 2020.

Administration
[Docket No. FMCSA–2020–0097]
Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers:
Small Business in Transportation
Coalition (SBTC) Application for
Exemption From ELD and Certain HOS
Requirements
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition;
denial of application for exemption.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its
decision to deny the Small Business in
Transportation Coalition’s (SBTC)
request for an exemption from the
electronic logging device (ELD)
requirements for commercial motor
vehicle (CMV) drivers traveling with
domestic animals in interstate
commerce. Additionally, FMCSA denies
SBTC’s request for an exemption from
the hours-of-service (HOS) requirements
to allow these drivers to drive up to 13
hours during a work shift and to operate
within a 16-hour window within which
all driving tasks would be completed.
FMCSA has analyzed the exemption
application and public comments and
has determined that it cannot ensure
that granting the requested exemptions
would achieve a level of safety
equivalent to, or greater than, the level
that would be achieved absent such
exemptions.
DATES: FMCSA denies this application
for exemption effective October 16,
2020.
