(GNBC Verified Notice of Exemption 2–4, Grainbelt Corp.—Trackage Rts. Exemption—BNSF Ry., FD 36486 (Sub-No. 6).) GNBC explains that the trackage rights covered by the verified notice in Docket No. FD 36486 (Sub-No. 6) are local rather than overhead rights and therefore do not qualify for the Board’s class exemption for temporary trackage rights under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8). (GNBC Pet. 4.) GNBC therefore filed its verified notice of exemption under the Board’s class exemption procedures at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) and a petition for partial revocation of the exemption as necessary to permit the PCCA Trackage Rights to expire on March 31, 2025, pursuant to the parties’ agreement. (GNBC Pet 3.) GNBC argues that the requested relief will promote the rail transportation policy and is limited in scope. (Id. at 4.) GNBC also asserts that the Board has routinely granted similar petitions to allow trackage rights to expire on a negotiated date. (Id. at 4–5.) Discussion and Conclusions Although GNBC and BNSF have expressly agreed on the duration of the proposed trackage rights, trackage rights approved under the class exemption at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7) typically remain effective indefinitely, regardless of any contractual provisions. At times, however, the Board has partially revoked a trackage rights exemption to allow those rights to expire after a limited time rather than lasting in perpetuity. See, e.g., Grainbelt Corp.— Trackage Rts. Exemption—BNSF Ry., FD 36486 (Sub-No. 5) (STB served May 15, 2023) (granting a petition to partially revoke a trackage rights exemption involving the Line at issue in this case); BNSF Ry.—Trackage Rts. Exemption— Union Pac. R.R., FD 36377 (Sub-No. 7) (STB served Mar. 2, 2023); New Orleans Pub. Belt R.R.—Trackage Rts. Exemption—Ill. Cent. R.R., FD 36198 (Sub-No. 1) (STB served June 20, 2018). Granting partial revocation in these circumstances to permit the trackage rights to expire would eliminate the need for GNBC to file a second pleading seeking discontinuance when the agreement expires, thereby promoting the rail transportation policy at 49 U.S.C. 10101(2), (7), and (15). Moreover, partially revoking the exemption to limit the term of the trackage rights is consistent with the limited scope of the transaction previously exempted.1 Therefore, the Board will grant the 1 Because the proposed transaction is of limited scope, the Board need not make a market power finding. See 49 U.S.C. 10502(a). VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:59 Apr 30, 2024 Jkt 262001 petition and permit the trackage rights exempted in Docket No. FD 36486 (SubNo. 6) to expire on March 31, 2025. To provide the statutorily mandated protection to any employee adversely affected by the discontinuance of trackage rights, the Board will impose the employee protective conditions set forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad— Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). This action is categorically excluded from environmental review under 49 CFR 1105.6(c). It is ordered: 1. The petition for partial revocation of the trackage rights class exemption is granted. 2. As discussed above, the trackage rights in Docket No. FD 36486 (Sub-No. 6) are permitted to expire on March 31, 2025, subject to the employee protective conditions set forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad, 360 I.C.C. 91. 3. Notice of this decision will be published in the Federal Register. 4. This decision is effective on May 31, 2024. Petitions to stay must be filed by May 13, 2024. Petitions for reconsideration must be filed by May 21, 2024. Decided: April 25, 2024. By the Board, Board Members Fuchs, Hedlund, Oberman, Primus, and Schultz. Raina White, Clearance Clerk.
