U.S. Department of State Advisory
Committee on Private International
Law: Public meeting on the
Convention on Choice of Courts
Agreement, the Judgments Convention
and the Singapore Convention
The Department of State’s Advisory
Committee on Private International Law
(ACPIL) will hold its next meeting at
Texas A&M University School of Law in
Fort Worth, Texas, on Thursday and
Friday, October 24–25, 2024, in a hybrid
format, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The meeting will focus on the
Convention of 30 June 2005 on Choice
of Court Agreements (‘‘CoCA’’), the
Convention of 2 July 2019 on the
Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign
Judgments in Civil or Commercial
Matters (‘‘Judgments Convention’’), and
the Convention on International
Settlement Agreements Resulting from
Mediation (‘‘Singapore Convention’’).
To briefly summarize each convention:
CoCA seeks to ensure the effectiveness of
exclusive choice of court agreements (i.e.,
forum selection clauses) between parties to
international commercial transactions. It
requires that (1) the chosen court must hear
the case when proceedings are brought before
it; (2) any other court before which
proceedings are brought must refuse to hear
them; and (3) the judgment of the chosen
court must be recognized and enforced.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 173 / Friday, September 6, 2024 / Notices
The Judgments Convention provides a set
of global legal rules for the recognition and
enforcement of foreign judgments involving
international commercial transactions. It
seeks to provide legal predictability and
reduces the incidence of duplicative
proceedings in multiple countries by
allowing a judgment originating from one
Contracting State to be enforced in another
without the need to relitigate the merits of
the claims.
The Singapore Convention establishes a
harmonized legal framework to enforce
international settlement agreements resulting
from mediation and to prevent relitigating
issues resolved by such agreements. It
ensures that an international settlement
resulting from mediation becomes binding
and enforceable in Contracting States in
accordance with a simplified and
streamlined procedure.
We will be seeking input and
guidance from attendees regarding
efforts toward U.S. ratification of these
conventions.
Prior to the meeting, we will circulate
a draft agenda and additional
documentation, such as draft proposed
implementing legislation, to those
confirming attendance.
Time and Place: The meeting will
take place on Thursday and Friday,
October 24–25, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
via a hybrid format at Texas A&M
University School of Law, 1515
Commerce Street, Fort Worth, Texas
76102. Those who cannot participate in
the meeting but wish to comment may
do so by email to Joseph Khawam at
pil@state.gov.
Participation: Those planning to
attend the meeting should provide to
pil@state.gov no later than September
30, 2024, the following information:
name, affiliation, contact information,
and whether attending in-person or
virtually. Room information for inperson attendance and a Zoom link for
virtual attendance will be provided
following registration. Anyone needing
reasonable accommodation should
notify pil@state.gov not later than
October 4, 2024. Requests made after
that date will be considered but might
not be able to be fulfilled.

[Docket No. FD 36794]
Colorado Pacific San Luis Railroad
LLC—Acquisition and Operation
Exemption—San Luis Central Railroad
Company
Colorado Pacific San Luis Railroad
LLC (CXSL), a noncarrier, has filed a
verified notice of exemption pursuant to
49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire and operate
a line of railroad owned by the San Luis
Central Railroad Company (SLC). The
track extends 13 miles from milepost 2.0
at Sugar Junction, east of Monte Vista,
Colo. (connecting at approximately
milepost 269.0 of the main line of the
Colorado Pacific Rio Grande Railroad,
LLC), to the end of the track at milepost
15.0 near Center, Colo. (the Line). The
Line comprises all of SLC’s railroad
system and assets. Upon this exemption
becoming effective, CXSL will become a
Class III rail carrier and assume all of
SLC’s common carrier obligations to
service the customers located along the
Line.
According to the verified notice, the
owners of SLC and Soloviev Investors,
LLC (Soloviev Investors) executed an
Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) on
July 26, 2024, whereby the track assets
and certain other assets of SLC are to be
sold to Soloviev Investors or ‘‘its
permitted assignee.’’ CXSL states that
Soloviev Investors assigned all of its
rights in the APA to CXSL on July 31,
2024.
The transaction may be consummated
on or after September 22, 2024, the
effective date of the exemption (30 days
after the verified notice was filed).
This transaction is related to a
concurrently filed petition for
exemption in Stefan Soloviev, Executor,
the Estate of Sheldon H. Solow—
Continuance in Control Exemption—
Colorado Pacific San Luis Railroad,
Docket No. FD 36795, in which the
Estate of Sheldon H. Solow (the Estate),
a noncarrier, seeks to continue in
control of CXSL upon CXSL becoming
a Class III rail carrier.1
CXSL certifies that its projected
annual revenues will not exceed $5
million and will not result in CXSL
becoming a Class II or Class I rail
carrier. CXSL also certifies that the APA
1 The Estate indicates that because the acquisition
transaction may close prior to the Board’s issuance
of a decision on the Estate’s continuance in control
petition, the Estate will, if necessary, enter into a
voting trust agreement pursuant to 49 CFR part
1013. See 49 CFR 1013.3(b) (‘‘Any person who
establishes an independent trust for the receipt of
the voting stock of [a] carrier must file a copy of
the trust, along with any auxiliary or modifying
documents, with the Board.’’).

does not create any interchange
commitments as that term is defined by
49 CFR 1150.33(h).
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 September 13,
2024 (at least seven days before the
exemption becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36794, 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. In
addition, a copy of each pleading must
be served on CXSL’s representative,
Thomas W. Wilcox, Law Office of
Thomas W. Wilcox, LLC, 1629 K Street
NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20006.
According to CXSL, this action is
categorically excluded from
environmental review under 49 CFR
1105.6(c) and from historic preservation
reporting requirements under 49 CFR
1105.8(b).
Board decisions and notices are
available at www.stb.gov.
Decided: September 3, 2024.
By the Board, Valerie O. Quinn, Acting
Director, Office of Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.

Riverside Rail, Inc.—Operation
Exemption—Tracks of Riverside
Industrial Complex, Inc., in Bucks
County, Pa.
Riverside Rail, Inc. (Riverside), a
noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to
operate over approximately 4,665 feet of
private railroad tracks located within a
68-acre industrial park known as the
Riverside Industrial Complex (Complex)
in Bristol Township, Bucks County, Pa.
(the Tracks).1 The Complex and the
Tracks are owned by Riverside’s
1 Riverside previously filed a verified notice of
exemption to operate the Tracks in Docket No. FD
36761, but the notice was rejected for a number of
reasons. See Riverside Rail—Operation
Exemption—Tracks of Riverside Indus. Complex in
Bucks Cnty., Pa., FD 36761 (STB served Mar. 29,
2024). The verified notice filed in Docket No. FD
36781, however, provides sufficient information to
proceed with Riverside’s exemption.
