Exemption--Rail Line in Columbia County, Fla.

    North Florida Industrial Railroad, LLC (NFIR), a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease and 
operate approximately 4,891 feet of track in the vicinity of Lake City 
in Columbia County, Fla. (the Line), connecting the North Florida Mega 
Industrial Park (Park) with a rail line operated by Florida Gulf & 
Atlantic Railroad, LLC (FG&A).\1\ According to the verified notice, 
there are no designated mileposts on the Line, although it will connect 
with FG&A's line at milepost 688.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The verified notice states that NFIR and FG&A are commonly 
controlled.
    \2\ Although the verified notice states that the connection will 
be located at milepost ``888,'' the maps attached to the notice show 
the milepost as being 688. (Notice, Ex. 1.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed petition for 
exemption in Docket No. FD 36823, Macquarie Infrastructure Partners V 
GP, LLC--Continuance in Control--North Florida Industrial Railroad, in 
which Macquarie Infrastructure Partners, for the benefit of the 
Macquarie Infrastructure Partners V fund vehicle; MIP V Rail, LLC; 
Pinsly Holdco, LLC; and Pinsly Railroad Company, LLC, seeks Board 
approval to continue in control of NFIR upon NFIR's becoming a Class 
III rail carrier.
    According to the verified notice, the Line is owned by Columbia 
County, Fla., a noncarrier, and is currently inactive. The verified 
notice further states that Columbia County is in the process of 
developing the Park, and that lease and operation of the Line will 
enable tenants to receive inbound and originate outbound freight 
shipments via NFIR, which will interchange with FG&A. Pursuant to the 
proposed transaction, NFIR will maintain and operate the Line, provide 
switching and related rail services to the Park tenants, and effect the 
interchange and delivery of inbound and origination and interchange of 
outbound line-haul rail shipments.
    NFIR certifies that its projected annual revenues will not exceed 
$5 million and will not result in the creation of a Class I or Class II 
rail carrier. NFIR also certifies that the proposed transaction does 
not involve any provision or agreement that would limit future 
interchange with a third-party connecting carrier.
    NFIR states that it intends to consummate the proposed transaction 
as soon as practicable after the effective dates of this exemption and 
the continuance in control exemption that is the subject of the related 
petition for exemption in Docket No. FD 36823. The effective date of 
this lease and operation exemption will be held in abeyance pending 
review of the petition for exemption.
    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. If the petition for exemption in Docket No. FD 36823 is 
granted, a deadline for filing petitions to stay this lease and 
operation exemption will be established in a decision that also 
establishes an effective date for this exemption.
    All pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 36824, 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 
NFIR's representative, Terence M. Hynes, Sidley Austin LLP, 1501 K 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20005.
    According to NFIR, 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: January 17, 2024.

Proceedings.
