11044 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 23, 2021 / Notices 

remain effective indefinitely, regardless 

of any contract provisions. 

Occasionally, however, the Board has 

partially revoked a trackage rights 

exemption to allow those rights to 

expire after a limited time period rather 

than lasting in perpetuity. See, e.g., 

BNSF Ry.––Trackage Rts. Exemption–– 

Union Pac. R.R., FD 36377 (Sub-No. 1) 

(STB served Mar. 11, 2020) (granting a 

petition to partially revoke a trackage 

rights exemption involving the Lines at 

issue in this case); New Orleans Pub. 

Belt R.R.—Trackage Rts. Exemption—Ill. 

Cent. R.R., FD 36198 (Sub-No. 1) (STB 

served June 20, 2018). 

Granting partial revocation in these 

circumstances to permit the trackage 

rights to expire at the end of 2021 would 

eliminate the need for BNSF to file a 

second pleading seeking discontinuance 

authority when the agreement expires, 

thereby promoting the aspects of the rail 

transportation policy at 49 U.S.C. 

10101(2), (7), and (15). Moreover, 

partially revoking the exemption to 

limit the term of the trackage rights 

would have no adverse impact on 

shippers because the trackage rights at 

issue are solely to allow BNSF to move 

empty and loaded ballast trains to and 

from the ballast pit in Elsey for use in 

BNSF’s maintenance-of-way projects. 

(See BNSF Pet. 2.) Therefore, the Board 

will grant the petition and permit the 

trackage rights exempted in Docket No. 

FD 36377 (Sub-No. 2) to expire at 

midnight on December 31, 2021. 

To provide the statutorily mandated 

protection to any employee adversely 

affected by the discontinuance of 

trackage rights, the Board will impose 

the employee protective conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad— 

Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch 

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & 

Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 

91 (1979). 

This action is categorically excluded 

from environmental review under 49 

CFR 1105.6(c). 

It is ordered: 

1. The petition for partial revocation 

of the trackage rights class exemption is 

granted. 

2. As discussed above, the trackage 

rights in Docket No. FD 36377 (Sub-No. 

2) are permitted to expire at midnight 

on December 31, 2021, subject to the 

employee protective conditions set forth 

in Oregon Short Line. 

3. Notice of this decision will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

4. This decision is effective on March 

25, 2021. Petitions for stay must be filed 

by March 5, 2021. Petitions for 

reconsideration must be filed by March 

15, 2021. 

Decided: February 17, 2021. 

By the Board, Board Members Begeman, 

Fuchs, Oberman, Primus, and Schultz.

Clearance Clerk.
