[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).

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36355] 

Louisiana Southern Railroad, L.L.C.— 

Lease & Operation Exemption With 

Interchange Commitment—The Kansas 

City Southern Railway Company 

Louisiana Southern Railroad, L.L.C. 

(LAS), a Class III rail carrier, has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41 to continue to lease from 

the Kansas City Southern Railway 

Company (KCS) and operate 

approximately 165.8 miles of rail lines 

extending: (1) Between a point 1,600 

feet south of Highway 80 near Gibsland, 

La., and milepost B–192, near Pineville, 

La.; (2) on the Sibley Branch, between 

milepost 83.5, at Sibley, La., and 

milepost 78.8, at Minden, La.; (3) 

between milepost 49.6, near Cullen, La., 

and milepost 78.8, at Minden; and (4) 

between milepost 78.8, at Minden, and 

milepost B–102, near Bossier, La., on 

the Hope Subdivision (the Lines).1

LAS states that it and KCS executed 

amendments on July 20, 2020 

(Amendments), to the Amended and 

Restated Lease Agreements from 2016 

(Restated Leases) 2 currently governing 

LAS’s lease and operation of the Lines. 

The Amendments extend the terms of 

the Restated Leases to November 30, 

2034. 

LAS states that the Restated Leases 

contain interchange commitments and 

that the affected interchanges are with 

Louisiana and North West Railroad 

Company, LLC, at Gibsland and Union 

Pacific Railroad Company (UP) at Tioga, 

La., both of which are located on the 

Gibsland-Pineville line segment, and 

with UP at Bossier City, La. (on the 

Hope Subdivision). Accordingly, LAS 

has provided additional information 

regarding the interchange commitments, 

as required by 49 CFR 1150.43(h). LAS 

states that it will continue to be the 

operator of the Lines. 

LAS certifies that its projected annual 

revenues as a result of this transaction 

will not result in LAS’s becoming a 

Class II or Class I rail carrier, but that 

its current annual revenues exceed, and 

are expected to continue to exceed, $5 

million. Pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.42(e), 

if a carrier’s projected annual revenues 

will exceed $5 million, it must, at least 

60 days before this exemption is to 

become effective, post a notice of its 

intent to undertake the proposed 

transaction at the workplace of the 

employees on the affected lines, serve a 

copy of the notice on the national 

offices of the labor unions with 

employees on the affected lines, and 

certify to the Board that it has done so. 

However, LAS has filed a petition for 

waiver of the 60-day advance labor 

notice requirements. LAS’s waiver 

request will be addressed in a separate 

decision. The Board will establish the 

effective date of the exemption in its 

separate decision on the waiver request. 

If the 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 36355, 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 LAS’s representative, 

Bradon J. Smith, Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 

29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800, 

Chicago, IL 60606. 

According to LAS, 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).
