Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices 73931 

Railway, LLC (WCR), a short line 

controlled by RMW. 

According to the verified notice, NER 

and RMW have reached terms pursuant 

to which NER will acquire the Line. The 

verified notice states that, upon the 

closing of the railroad asset sale, RMW 

will terminate the lease agreement with 

WCR, and, as part of the transaction, 

WCR shall end its leasehold operating 

rights over the Line. The verified notice 

states that NER intends to commence 

common carrier operations over the 

Line on or after the anticipated effective 

date of this notice. 

NER certifies that the transaction does 

not involve any provision that would 

limit future interchange with a thirdparty connecting carrier. NER further 

certifies that its projected annual 

revenues resulting from the transaction 

will not exceed $5 million and will not 

result in NER’s becoming a Class I or 

Class II rail carrier. Under 49 CFR 

1150.32(b), a change in operator 

requires that notice be given to shippers. 

NER states that notice of the proposed 

transaction has been provided to 

shippers on the Line. 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is November 10, 2023, the 

effective date of the exemption. 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 November 3, 2023 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36728, must be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website or in 

writing addressed to 395 E Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on NER’s representative, 

Michael J. Barron, Fletcher & Sippel 

LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800, 

Chicago, IL 60606–3208. 

According to NER, 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).

title 49, United States Code, this notice 

is required to be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before

The land consists of two original 

airport acquired parcels. The parcels 

were acquired under Airport

grant number 5–18–0037–02. The 

Sponsor is proposing to change the land 

from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and intends to 

ultimately sell the land at fair market 

value to Hancock County to widen 

County Road 600 for construction of 

roadway traffic circles. This is currently 

vacant land and is not needed for 

aeronautical purposes. 

The disposition of proceeds from any 

future sale of the airport property will 

be in accordance with FAA’s Policy and 

Procedures Concerning the Use of 

Airport Revenue, published in the 

Federal Register on February 16, 1999 

(64 FR 7696). 

This notice announces that the FAA 

is considering the release of the subject 

airport property at the Indianapolis 

Regional Airport, Indianapolis, Indiana 

from federal land covenants, subject to 

a reservation for continuing right of 

flight as well as restrictions on the 

released property as required in FAA 

Order 5190.6B section 22.16. Approval 

does not constitute a commitment by 

the FAA to financially assist in the 

disposal of the subject airport property 

nor a determination of eligibility for 

grant-in-aid funding from the FAA.
