### 56654 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 179 / Thursday, September 16, 2010 / Notices

1 Indeed, M&NJ’s Verified Notice of Exemption does not even indicate how long the proposed lease would be in effect. The Board has included that information in its decision.

2 E.g., Northern Plains R.R.—Lease Exemption— Soo Line R.R., FD 35382 (STB served Aug. 6, 2010) (Mulvey, dissenting); Washington & Idaho Ry.— Lease and Operation Exemption—BNSF Ry., FD 35370 (STB served Apr. 23, 2010) (Mulvey, commenting). See disclosure rules at Disclosure of Rail Interchange Commitments, EP 575 (Sub-No. 1) (STB served May 29, 2008).

Board decisions and notices are available at our Web site at http:// www.stb.dot.gov.

It is ordered: 1. The delegation of authority of the Office of Proceedings, under 49 CFR 1011.7(b)(10), to determine whether to issue a notice of exemption in this proceeding is revoked.

2. This decision is effective on the date of service.

Decided: September 13, 2010. By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice Chairman Mulvey, and Commissioner Nottingham. Vice Chairman Mulvey dissented with a separate expression.

Vice Chairman Mulvey, dissenting: Once again, I must disagree with the Board’s decision to allow a transaction containing a significant interchange commitment to be processed under the Board’s class exemption procedures at 49 CFR 1150.41. I believe that it is incumbent for the Board to take a close look at interchange commitments before permitting them to become effective, particularly when they contain outright bans on interchange with third-party carriers or, as here, economic incentives that can only be evaluated with the provision of additional information.

Here, M&NJ seeks authorization to lease or sublease approximately 36 miles from NSR. As disclosed in the M&NJ’s Verified Notice of Exemption, the lease agreement contains an interchange commitment that gives M&NJ

a ‘‘credit’’ toward its annual lease payment for every car that it interchanges with NSR at Campbell Hall, NY. But the notice of exemption and supporting documents do not explain (1) whether the ‘‘credit’’ is so large vis a vis the projected carloads and annual lease payment as to eliminate any incentive by M&NJ to interchange with a third-party carrier, (2) how many shippers and carloads will be impacted by the interchange commitment, (3) and what competitive routing options are being foreclosed during the term of the lease. 1 I believe that all of this information, which would be obtained through the Board’s more detailed application or a petition for exemption procedures, is necessary to understand the impact of this new lease.

The trickle of transactions with interchange commitments since the Board’s 2008 interchange commitment disclosure rules were adopted has turned into a steady drip. 2 Although the disclosure rules were an important first step to regulating interchange commitments, I urge my colleagues to closely scrutinize newly proposed long-term leases that will shape competition in the rail industry for years to come.
