by section 115 of the Airport and 

Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion 

Act of 1987, Public Law 100–223 

(codified at 49 U.S.C. 50104) (‘‘the Act’’),

[Docket No. FD 35365] 

Michael Williams–Control Exemption– 

St. Maries River Railroad, Inc. 

Michael Williams (applicant),1 a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption to acquire control of St. 

Maries River Railroad, Inc. (STMA), a 

Class III railroad, through the purchase 

of all of STMA’s stock from STMA’s 

parent, Potlatch Land & Lumber, LLC, 

by Williams Group, Inc. (WG).2

Applicant currently controls two Class 

III railroads through stock ownership: 

BG & CM Railroad (BG & CM), which 

operates in Idaho; and Ozark Valley 

Railroad (OVRR), which operates in 

Missouri.3 Applicant will control STMA 

through WG. 

The parties intend to consummate the 

transaction by May 28, 2010. Applicant, 

however, may not consummate the 

transaction prior to the May 12, 2010 

effective date of this exemption. 

Applicant states that: (i) STMA does 

not connect with any rail lines of the BG 

& CM, OVRR, or any other railroad now 

controlled by applicant; (ii) the 

acquisition of control of STMA is not 

part of a series of anticipated 

transactions that would connect any of 

the railroads with each other or with 

any railroad in their corporate family; 

and (iii) this transaction does not 

involve a Class I rail carrier. Therefore, 

the transaction is exempt from the prior 

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). 

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board 

may not use its exemption authority to 

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory 

obligation to protect the interests of its 

employees. Section 11326(c), however, 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under §§ 11324 and 11325 

that involve only Class III rail carriers. 

Accordingly, the Board may not impose 

labor protective conditions here, 

because all the carriers involved are 

Class III rail carriers. 

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 May 5, 2010 (at 

least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35365, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on Charles H. Montange, 

426 NW. 162nd Street, Seattle, WA 

98177. 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at: ‘‘http:// 

www.stb.dot.gov.’’ 

Decided: April 22, 2010.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
