20914 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 68 / Friday, April 8, 2022 / Notices 

1According to the verified notice, the Power 

Plant Lead is currently an industrial spur line, the 

Authority’s acquisition of which does not require 

Board authorization. However, the verified notice 

indicates that the Power Plant Lead is part of the 

Line for which North Shore seeks common carrier 

operating authority, as it will become a line of 

railroad subject to the Board’s authority upon the 

effective date of the exemption. 

2A copy of the FSEA containing the interchange 

commitment was filed under seal with the verified 

notice. See 49 CFR 1150.43(h)(1). 

1The verified notice states that the Authority will 

also be purchasing from NSR certain track referred 

to as the Power Plant Lead (PPL Track), a 1.3-mile 

segment of 49 U.S.C. 10906 excepted spur track in 

Snyder County. The Authority states that, because 

the Board does not have authority over the 

acquisition of section 10906 track, the PPL Track 

need not be included as part of its notice of 

exemption but is referenced for informational 

purposes and will be converted from 49 U.S.C. 

10906 spur track to 49 U.S.C. 10901 common carrier 

track as part of North Shore Railroad Company’s 

operating exemption concurrently filed in Docket 

No. FD 36600, as discussed below.

[Docket No. FD 36600] 

North Shore Railroad Company— 

Operation and Trackage Rights 

Exemption—Lines of SEDA-COG Joint 

Rail Authority and Norfolk Southern 

Railway Company, Including 

Interchange Commitment 

North Shore Railroad Company 

(North Shore), a Class III rail carrier, has 

filed a verified notice of exemption 

pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.41 to: (1) 

Operate approximately 7.7 miles of 

existing railroad track and right-of-way 

known as the Selinsgrove Industrial 

Track, extending from milepost 0.0 at 

Selinsgrove Junction, Pa., to milepost 

7.7 in Kreamer, Pa., and an 

approximately 1.3-mile industrial spur 

known as the Power Plant Lead, both in 

Snyder County, Pa. (collectively, the 

Line), and (2) acquire incidental 

trackage rights over approximately 4.7 

miles of track owned by Norfolk 

Southern Railway Company (NSR), on 

NSR’s Buffalo Line, from milepost BR 

258.6 at Sunbury, Pa., to milepost BR 

263.3 at Selinsgrove Junction. 

The Line is currently owned and 

operated by NSR and is being acquired 

by the SEDA-COG Joint Rail Authority 

(the Authority), a Pennsylvania 

municipal authority and noncarrier. The 

Authority has concurrently filed a 

verified notice of exemption to acquire 

the Line 1 in SEDA-COG Joint Rail 

Authority—Acquisition Exemption with 

Interchange Commitment—Norfolk 

Southern Railway Company, Docket No. 

FD 33602. The Authority and NSR have 

also entered into a Freight Service 

Easement Agreement (FSEA), providing 

the Authority an easement and right to 

operate freight rail service on the Line. 

According to the verified notice, the 

FSEA expressly contemplates that the 

Authority will enter into an agreement 

with a third-party operating railroad to 

operate the Line for the Authority. 

North Shore will be operating over the 

Line pursuant to an operating agreement 

with the Authority. 

North Shore certifies that that the 

proposed transaction will not result in 

North Shore’s becoming a Class I or 

Class II rail carrier and that the 60-day 

advance notice requirements of 49 CFR 

1150.42 do not apply. North Shore 

certifies that the FSEA contains a 

provision that would limit future 

interchange with a third-party 

connecting carrier other than NSR at 

Northumberland. North Shore has 

provided additional information 

regarding the interchange commitment, 

as required by 49 CFR 1150.43(h).2

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is April 23, 2022, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

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 April 15, 2022 (at 

least seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36600, should be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on North Shore’s 

representative, Richard A. Allen, KMA 

Zuckert, LLC, 888 Seventeenth Street 

NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20006. 

According to North Shore, 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).

2The Authority states that it is not seeking 

operating authority over the Line. However, a grant 

of acquisition authority provides the necessary 

authority to conduct operations and imposes an 

obligation to provide service upon reasonable 

request. See, e.g., Norfolk & W. Ry.—Acquis.
