Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 131 / Friday, July 7, 2000 / Notices 42059

1 Due to the timing of A&M’s certification to the

Board, consummation under normal circumstances

would have to be delayed until August 7, 2000 (60

days after A&M’s certification to the Board that it

had complied with the Board’s rule at 49 CFR

1150.42(e)). In a decision in this proceeding served

on June 29, 2000, however, the Board granted the

request by A&M for waiver of the remainder of the

60-day period, as measured from the certification

date to the Board, to allow consummation to occur

as early as June 29, 2000, because rail employees

and their unions had been given more than 60 days’

actual notice in this case.
