11522 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 48 / Wednesday, March 12, 1997 / Notices

will not result in adverse changes in

service levels, significant operational

changes, or a change in the competitive

balance with carriers outside the

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. Section 11326(c), however,

does not provide for labor protection for

transactions under sections 11324 and

11325 that involve only Class III rail

carriers. Because this transaction

involves Class III rail carriers only, the

Board, under the statute, may not

impose labor protective conditions for

this transaction.

If the verified notice contains false or

misleading information, the exemption

is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the

proceeding to revoke the exemption

under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed

at any time. The filing of a petition to

reopen will not automatically stay the

transaction.

An original and 10 copies of all

pleadings, referring to STB Finance

Docket No. 33330, must be filed with

the Surface Transportation Board, Office

of the Secretary, Case Control Branch,

1925 K Street, N.W., Washington, DC

20423–0001. In addition, a copy of each

pleading must be served on Richard R.

Wilson, Esq., Vuono & Gray, 2310 Grant

Building, Pittsburgh, PA 15219.

Decided: March 4, 1997.

By the Board, David M. Konschnik,

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Secretary.
