Applicants state that they have included KUD in 

this list out of an abundance of caution, as it is 

unclear whether KUD is a rail common carrier 

subject to the Board’s jurisdiction. 

Applicants state that they neither 

contemplate nor require an agreement to 

continue in control of Lakeshore 

Terminal once it becomes a rail carrier. 

The verified notice indicates that: (1) 

the Line does not connect with any of 

the Patriot Short Lines; (2) the 

acquisition of control is not part of a 

series of anticipated transactions that 

would connect the Line or any of the 

Patriot Short Lines with each other; and 

(3) the proposed 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). 

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after December 31, 2023, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

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. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326(c) 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under 49 U.S.C. 11324 and 

11325 that involve only Class III rail 

carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not 

impose labor protective conditions here 

because all of the carriers involved are 

Class III rail carriers. 

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 to stay must be 

filed no later than December 22, 2023. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36743, must be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board either via 

e-filing 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 Applicants’ representative, 

Robert A. Wimbish, Fletcher & Sippel 

LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 800, 

Chicago, IL 60606–3208. 

According to the verified notice, 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).
