SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DRGHF’s 

petition requests an order declaring that 

its activities on a parcel of land in 

Monte Vista, CO, fall under the Board’s 

jurisdiction, preempting municipal 

zoning regulation of those activities. 

DRGHF states that it uses this parcel as 

a railcar rehabilitation and restoration 

facility. This petition raises questions 

regarding the Board’s jurisdiction under 

49 U.S.C. 10501(a) and preemption 

under 49 U.S.C. 10501(b). 

Under 5 U.S.C. 554(e), the Board has 

discretionary authority to issue a 

declaratory order to terminate a 

controversy or remove uncertainty. The 

issues raised by DRGHF merit further 

consideration, and a declaratory order 

proceeding is thus instituted here. For 

further information, please see the 

Board’s decision served on February 23, 

2012 in Docket No. FD 35496. 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at 

www.stb.dot.gov. 

Decided: February 22, 2012. 

By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, 

Director, Office of Proceedings. 

Jeffrey Herzig, 

Clearance Clerk.
