3136 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 2009 / Notices 

This is a transaction within a 

corporate family of the type exempted 

from prior review and approval under 

49 CFR 1180.2(d)(3). The parties state 

that the transaction will not result in 

adverse changes in service levels, 

significant operational changes, or 

changes 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. Accordingly, the Board may not 

impose labor protective conditions here, 

because all of the carriers involved are 

Class III carriers. 

If the 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 transaction. 

Petitions for stay must be filed no later 

than January 23, 2009 (at least 7 days 

before the effective date of the 

exemption). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35210, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423– 

0001. In addition, one copy of each 

pleading must be served on applicants’ 

representative, Rose-Michele Nardi, 

Weiner Brodsky Sidman Kider PC, 1300 

19th Street, NW., Fifth Floor, 

Washington, DC 20036–1609.
