way serving the Cumberland Valley Business Park and the Letterkenny 
Army Depot near Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pa., (the Lines). PSCC 
states that there are no mileposts on the Lines.
    According to the verified notice, PSCC has operated over the Lines 
pursuant to an agreement between PSCC and the Franklin County General 
Authority (FCGA) since 2004, and now PSCC seeks authority to acquire 
ownership of the Lines from LIDA.\1\ PSCC states that the purchase 
would provide it with incentive to invest in the tracks and further 
development of the rail business. (Notice 4.)

petition to revoke will not automatically stay the effectiveness of the 
exemption. Petitions for stay must be filed no later than July 13,
