Previously, the Line was operated by three other carriers under modified rail certificates.3 Pursuant to a lease agreement, Yak Rail and the County have agreed that Yak Rail will commence freight rail operation on or after January 27, 2023, for an initial term of 10 years, which may be extended, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, for an additional five years. Under the agreement, the parties may terminate the lease earlier upon the occurrence of certain events (i.e., a final and non-appealable order by the Board, court, or other administrative agency that terminates Yak Rail’s authority or ability to provide rail freight services on the Line). (See Verified Notice, Ex. B at 9.) 4 This transaction is related to the verified notice of exemption filed in CWW LLC—Continuance in Control Exemption—Yak Rail LLC, Docket No. FD 36664, in which CWW LLC seeks to continue in control of Yak Rail, upon Yak Rail’s becoming a Class III rail carrier. The Line qualifies for a modified certificate of public convenience and necessity. See Common Carrier Status of States, State Agencies & Instrumentalities & Pol. Subdivs., FD 28990F (ICC served July 16, 1981); 49 CFR 1150.22. Yak Rail states that no entity is subsidizing Yak Rail’s freight operations on the Line and that there are no preconditions for shippers to meet in order to receive rail service from Yak Rail. Yak Rail also states that the agreement requires it to obtain liability insurance coverage. This notice will be served on the Association of American Railroads (Car Service Division), as agent for all railroads subscribing to the car-service 3 See Yakima Valley Rail & Steam Museum Ass’n.—Modified Rail Certificate, FD 32487 (ICC served Apr. 28, 1994); Cent.
