18 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

19 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 20 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

effectively allocate resources to 

implement new Form G–32 effectively, 

which would (1) promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, (2) foster 

cooperation and coordination with 

persons engaged in regulating and 

processing information with respect to 

transactions in municipal securities, 

and (3) remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market in municipal securities. 

The proposed rule change would 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade by providing additional time for 

dealers to establish compliance 

procedures to ensure that all applicable 

fields are complete and accurate. In 

turn, more accurate and complete 

information will enhance the MSRB’s 

regulatory transparency initiatives and 

facilitate the MSRB’s own usage of data, 

which the MSRB believes helps remove 

impediments to, and promotes the 

mechanisms of a free and open market 

and fosters cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

regulating and processing information 

with respect to transactions in 

municipal securities. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act 

requires that MSRB rules be designed 

not to impose any burden on 

competition not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act.17 The MSRB does 

not believe that the proposed rule 

change will impose any burden on 

competition not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

Exchange Act. The goal of the proposed 

rule change is to grant additional time 

for dealers to meet certain obligations 

under Rule G–32 during the exigent 

circumstances of the COVID–19 

pandemic but would not alter their 

underlying obligations under MSRB 

rules. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received on the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (i) Significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) become 

operative for 30 days from the date on 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 18 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 19 thereunder. At any time within 

60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 

change, the Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36354] 

Arkansas Southern Railroad, L.L.C.— 

Lease Exemption With Interchange 

Commitment—The Kansas City 

Southern Railway Company 

Arkansas Southern Railroad, L.L.C. 

(ARS), a Class III railroad, has filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41 to amend and extend its 

leases from The Kansas City Southern 

Railway Company (KCS) of two lines of 

railroad: (1) Between milepost 4.0 near 

Heavener, Okla., and milepost 33.0 at 

Waldron, Ark.; and (2) between 

milepost 32.0 at Ashdown, Ark., and 

milepost 0.0 at Nashville, Ark. 

(excluding the 601 track switch at 

Ashdown) (collectively, the Lines). 

According to ARS, it has operated the 

Lines since 2005 pursuant to lease 

agreements with KCS,1 and the parties 

entered into restated leases in 2016 (the 

Leases).2 The verified notice indicates 

that ARS and KCS executed 

amendments to the Leases on July 20, 

2020 (the Amendments), extending the 

term of the Leases through November 

30, 2034, among other changes. ARS 

states that it intends for the 

Amendments to take effect on or shortly 

after the effective date of this 

exemption. 

ARS certifies that the Leases contain 

an interchange commitment.3

Accordingly, ARS has provided 

additional information regarding the 

interchange commitment, as required by 

49 CFR 1150.43(h). 

ARS certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

will not exceed $5 million and will not 

result in the creation of a Class I or Class 

II rail carrier. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummation is March 14, 2021, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

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 March 5, 2021. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36354, should be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on ARS’s representative, 

Bradon J. Smith, Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 

29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800, 

Chicago, IL 60606. 

According to ARS, 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).
