Petition for Exemption; Summary of Petition Received; Basler Turbo Conversions LLC, 48209-48210 [2024-12246]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 2024 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES and competitiveness for communities and businesses in the rural area served by FWWR. (Id.) Tarantula further states that an earlier effective date would support an expansion project and make a stronger application for a CRISI grant. (Id.) Discussion and Conclusions The acquisition of control of a rail carrier by a person that is not a rail carrier but that controls any number of rail carriers requires prior approval from the Board under 49 U.S.C. 11323(a)(5). Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(a), however, the Board shall, to the maximum extent consistent with title 49, subtitle IV, part A, exempt a transaction or service from regulation upon finding that (1) the regulation is not necessary to carry out the rail transportation policy (RTP) under 49 U.S.C. 10101 and (2) either the transaction or service is of limited scope, or regulation is not needed to protect shippers from the abuse of market power. Here, an exemption from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323–25 is consistent with the standards of 49 U.S.C. 10502. Detailed scrutiny of the proposed transaction through an application for review and approval under sections 11323–25 is not necessary to carry out the RTP. An exemption would promote the RTP by minimizing the need for federal regulatory control over the transaction, 49 U.S.C. 10101(2), reducing regulatory barriers to entry, 49 U.S.C. 10101(7), encouraging efficient management of railroads, 49 U.S.C. 10101(9), and providing for the expeditious resolution of this proceeding, 49 U.S.C. 10101(15). Further, Tarantula asserts that the acquisition will allow it to make capital improvements to infrastructure on the Line. (Pet. 3, 7.) Therefore, an exemption would promote the RTP by ensuring the development and continuation of a sound rail transportation system that would continue to meet the needs of the public, 49 U.S.C. 10101(4), and fostering sound economic conditions in transportation, 49 U.S.C. 10101(5). Other aspects of the RTP would not be adversely affected. Regulation of the transaction is not needed to protect shippers from abuse of market power.3 The record indicates that Texas Central does not conduct freight rail operations over the Line; rather, FWWR has leased and operated the Line since 1998. (Pet. 2.) Tarantula states that the transaction will have no 3 Given this finding, the Board need not determine whether the transaction is limited in scope. See 49 U.S.C. 10502(a). VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:50 Jun 04, 2024 Jkt 262001 adverse effect on rail operations over the Line because FWWR will continue operations over it. (Id. at 1, 5.) Thus, the proposed transaction will not result in any material changes to the services available to shippers along the Line. Moreover, there have been no objections to the proposed transaction, and the shippers along the Line have filed letters supporting the transaction. (Pet., Ex. C.) 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. Section 11326(c), however, does not provide for labor protection for transactions under sections 11324 and 11325 that involve only Class III carriers. Therefore, because all carriers involved in the transaction are Class III carriers, the Board may not impose labor protective conditions. The acquisition of control is exempt from environmental reporting requirements under 49 CFR 1105.6(c)(1) because it will not result in significant changes in carrier operations. Similarly, under 49 CFR 1105.8(b)(3), no historic report is required because the proposed transaction will not substantially change the level of operations or maintenance of railroad properties. As noted, Tarantula has requested expedited consideration of its petition for exemption. The Board finds that Tarantula’s request is reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, the effective date of the exemption will be June 15, 2024. See 49 CFR 1121.4(e) (‘‘Unless otherwise specified in the decision, an exemption generally will be effective 30 days from the service date of the decision.’’). Petitions for stay must be filed by June 7, 2024. Petitions to reopen will be due by June 20, 2024. It is ordered: 1. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502, the Board exempts the above transaction from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323–25. 2. Notice of this exemption will be published in the Federal Register. 3. This decision will be effective on June 15, 2024. Petitions for stay must be filed by June 7, 2024. Petitions to reopen must be filed by June 20, 2024. Decided: May 30, 2024.
