(the Line). According to the verified notice, NAUG has entered into a land and rail assets lease agreement with CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT), on behalf of B&M and STR, which are both subsidiaries of CSXT. The verified notice states that, upon consummation of the agreement, NAUG will lease and operate the Line. NAUG states that it currently operates over the Torrington Branch, an approximately 19.6-mile rail line that extends between NAUG milepost 0.0 in Waterbury, Conn., and NAUG milepost 19.6 in Torrington, Conn. See Naugatuck R.R.—Operation Exemption—State of Conn., FD 32793 (STB served Jan. 25, 1996). NAUG certifies that its projected annual freight revenues will not result in the creation of a Class I or Class II rail carrier and will not exceed $5 million. NAUG also certifies that the agreement does not include an interchange commitment. The transaction may be consummated on or after July 14, 2023, 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 July 7, 2023 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective). All pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 36709, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board either via e-filing on the Board’s website or in writing addressed to 395 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20423–0001.
