SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States and Chile negotiated the 

United States-Chile FTA and United

FTA on June 6, 2003, in Miami, USA 

and the ECA on June 17, 2003, in 

Santiago, Chile. Article 19.3 of the FTA 

establishes an Environment Affairs 

Council (Council). The Council 

discusses implementation of Chapter 19 

of the FTA, and its meetings include a 

public session. The Joint Commission 

on Environmental Cooperation 

(Commission) was established in Article 

II of the ECA. The Commission 

evaluates cooperative activities under 

the ECA, recommends options for 

improving cooperation, and establishes 

work programs that reflect national 

priorities and that identify the scope 

and focus of environmental cooperation 

activities. Commission meetings also 

include a public session. 

The Council and Commission last met 

in August 2015 in Washington, DC. The 

Council reviewed the implementation of 

the Environment Chapter of the FTA. 

The Commission approved the 2015– 

2017 Work Program, which built on 

previous successes and identified 

activities to achieve the long-term goals 

of: (1) Strengthening effective 

implementation and enforcement of 

environmental laws and regulations; (2) 

encouraging development and adoption 

of sound environmental practices and 

technologies, particularly in business 

enterprises; (3) promoting sustainable 

development and management of 

environmental resources, including 

wild fauna and flora, protected wild 

areas, and other ecologically important 

ecosystems; and (4) encouraging civil 

society participation in the 

environmental decision-making process 

and environmental education. 

During the Council and Commission 

meetings, Members will discuss the 

progress made in implementing Chapter 

19 obligations and the impacts of 

environmental cooperation. The 

Commission will also finalize an 

updated Environmental Cooperation 

Work Program for 2018–2020. More

BILLING CODE 4710–09–P 

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36209] 

Watco Holdings, Inc.—Continuance in 

Control Exemption—Decatur & Eastern 

Illinois Railroad, L.L.C. 

Watco Holdings, Inc. (Watco), a 

noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 

exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(2) to continue in control of 

Decatur & Eastern Illinois Railroad, 

L.L.C. (DEIR), upon DEIR’s becoming a 

Class III rail carrier. Watco owns, 

indirectly, 100% of the issued and 

outstanding stock of DEIR, a limited 

liability company. 

This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified notice of 

exemption in Decatur & Eastern Illinois 

Railroad—Acquisition Exemption 

Containing Interchange Commitment— 

CSX Transportation, Inc., Docket No. 

FD 36206, by which DEIR seeks Board 

approval to acquire and operate 

approximately 126.7 miles of track 

owned by CSX Transportation, Inc. 

(CSXT), consisting of: (1) CSXT’s 

Decatur Subdivision starting near 

Montezuma, Ind., at milepost BD 192.4 

and ending in Decatur, Ill., at milepost 

BD 277.2; (2) CSXT’s Danville 

Secondary Subdivision from near Terre 

Haute, Ind., at milepost QSD 72.2 to 

near Olivet, Ill., at milepost QSD 113.6; 

and (3) CSXT’s Paris Industrial Track 

located in Paris, Ill.1

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after September 8, 2018, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice of exemption 

was filed). 

According to the verified notice of 

exemption, Watco currently controls, 

indirectly, 37 Class III rail carriers and 

one Class II rail carrier, collectively 

operating in 27 states. For a complete 

list of these rail carriers and the states 

in which they operate, see the August 9, 

2018 verified notice of exemption at 

pages 5–9 for a list of carriers and pages 

9–11 for a list of states.2 The verified 

notice is available on the Board’s 

website at www.stb.gov. 

Watco represents that: (1) The rail line 

to be operated by DEIR does not connect 

with any of the rail lines operated by 

railroads in the Watco corporate family; 

(2) the transaction is not part of a series 

of anticipated transactions that would 

result in such a connection; and (3) the 

transaction does not involve a Class I 

rail carrier. The proposed transaction is 

therefore exempt from the prior 

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11323 pursuant to 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). 

Watco states that the purpose of the 

transaction is to reduce overhead 

expenses and coordinate billing, 

maintenance, mechanical and personnel 

policies and procedures of its rail carrier 

subsidiaries, and thereby improve the 

overall efficiency of rail service 

provided by the railroads in the Watco 

corporate family. 

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. Because the transaction 

involves the control of one Class II and 

one or more Class III rail carriers, the 

transaction is subject to the labor 

protection requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11326(b) and Wisconsin Central Ltd.— 

Acquisition Exemption—Lines of Union 

Pacific Railroad, 2 S.T.B. 218 (1997).
