Nevertheless, to ensure that the shippers are informed of our action, we will require the Estate to serve a copy of this decision on all shippers on the line that was acquired and is now operated by CXSL within five days of the service date of this decision and certify to the Board that it has done so. 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. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326(c) does not provide for labor protection for transactions under 49 U.S.C. 11324 and 11325 that involve only Class III rail carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not impose labor protective conditions here because all carriers involved are Class III carriers. The control transaction is exempt from environmental reporting requirements under 49 CFR 1105.6(c)(1)(i) because it would not result in any significant change in carrier operations. Similarly, the transaction is exempt from the historic reporting requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b)(3), because it would not substantially change the level of maintenance of railroad properties. The Board also finds the Estate’s request for expedited action on its petition for exemption to be reasonable under the circumstances and, therefore, the effective date of the exemption will be December 6, 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 granting the exemption.’’). Petitions for stay must be filed by November 29, 2024. Petitions to reopen will be due by December 11, 2024. It is ordered: 1. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502, the Board exempts the transaction described above from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323–25. 2. Notice of this control exemption will be published in the Federal Register. 3. The Estate shall serve a copy of the decision on all shippers on the CXSL line and certify to the Board that it has done so, by November 26, 2024. 4. The control exemption will become effective on December 6, 2024. Petitions to stay must be filed by November 29, 2024. Petitions to reopen must be filed by December 11, 2024.
