same manner to all TPHs. TPHs will 

have the discretion to submit complex 

orders with any ratio in the increments 

permitted by the proposed rule change. 

The proposed rule change will eliminate 

a current pricing disparity that exists 

between complex orders within the 

same class and thus provide the same 

pricing flexibility to all complex orders, 

regardless of their ratios. The Exchange 

does not believe the proposed rule 

change will impose any burden on 

intermarket competition, as it relates to 

the representation and execution of 

orders on the Exchange and will 

continue to protect Priority Customer 

Orders on the Simple Book. The 

Exchange believes the proposed rule 

change may promote competition, as 

market participants will have additional 

flexibility to execute their trading and 

hedging strategies in a more efficient 

manner and will permit all complex 

orders in the same class to trade in the 

same increments. Additionally, the 

Exchange understands from TPHs that 

another options market currently 

permits complex orders with ratios 

greater than three-to-one or less than 

one-to-three and their legs to execute in 

penny increments on its trading floor.26

rule change.

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which 

the Exchange consents, the Commission 

will: 

A. By order approve or disapprove 

such proposed rule change, or 

B. institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36532] 

Finger Lakes Railway Corp.— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Midcoast Railservice, Inc. 

Finger Lakes Railway Corp. (FGLK), a 

Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(2) to continue in control of 

Midcoast Railservice, Inc. (Midcoast), a 

noncarrier, upon Midcoast’s becoming a 

rail carrier. 

This transaction is related to a 

verified notice of exemption filed 

concurrently in Midcoast Railservice, 

Inc.—Change of Operators Exemption— 

Central Maine & Quebec Railway, 

Docket No. FD 36531, in which 

Midcoast seeks to assume operations 

over approximately 58.68 miles of rail 

line currently operated by Central 

Maine & Quebec Railway US, Inc., in 

Cumberland, Knox, Lincoln, and 

Sagadahoc Counties, Me. 

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after September 8, 2021, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the verified notice was filed). 

According to the verified notice of 

exemption, FGLK currently controls the 

Ontario Central Railroad Corp., a Class 

III carrier operating solely in the state of 

New York.1

FGLK represents that: (1) The rail line 

to be leased and operated by Midcoast 

does not connect with the rail lines of 

any of the rail carriers in FGLK’s 

corporate family; (2) the transaction is 

not part of a series of anticipated 

transactions that would connect the line 

to be operated by Midcoast with the rail 

lines of any carriers in FGLK’s corporate 

family; and (3) the transaction does not 

involve a Class I rail carrier. The 

proposed transaction is therefore 

exempt from the prior approval 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323 

pursuant to 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). 

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. 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 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 September 1, 2021 

(at least seven days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36532, should be filed with the 

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

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on FGLK’s 

representative, Eric M. Hocky, Clark Hill 

PLC, Two Commerce Square, 2001 

Market St., Suite 2620, Philadelphia, PA 

19103. 

According to FGLK, this action is 

categorically excluded from 

environmental review under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c) and from historic reporting 

requirements under 49 CFR 1105.8(b).

available at www.stb.gov. 

Decided: August 20, 2021.

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Midcoast Railservice, Inc.—Change of 

Operators Exemption—Central Maine 

& Quebec Railway US, Inc. 

Midcoast Railservice, Inc. (Midcoast), 

a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice 

of exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 

1150.31(a)(3) to assume operations over 

approximately 58.68 miles of rail line 

(the Line) currently operated by Central 

Maine & Quebec Railway US, Inc. 

(CMQ), pursuant to a Lease and 

Operating Agreement (the Agreement) 

between the owner of the Line, the State 

of Maine Department of Transportation 

(Maine DOT), and CMQ. The Line 

consists of: (1) The Brunswick Terminal 

Area between the east side of Church 

Road, milepost 14.97, and Rock Jct., 

milepost 16.40; (2) the Rockland Branch 

between milepost 29.40 in Brunswick, 

Cumberland County, Me., and milepost 

85.55 in Rockland, Knox County, Me.; 

and (3) the Atlantic Branch Line 

between milepost 85.55 and milepost 

86.65 in Rockland. The Line runs 

through Cumberland, Knox, Lincoln, 

and Sagadahoc Counties, Me.1

This transaction is related to a 

verified notice of exemption filed 

concurrently in Finger Lakes Railway— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Midcoast Railservice, Inc., Docket No. 

FD 36532, in which Finger Lakes 

Railway Corp. seeks to continue in 

control of Midcoast upon Midcoast’s 

becoming a rail carrier. 

According to the verified notice, an 

Assignment, Assumption and Consent 

Agreement (the Assignment) has been 

executed by Midcoast and CMQ and 

consented to by Maine DOT. Under the 

Assignment, CMQ is assigning its rights 

under the Agreement, and its associated 

common carrier service rights to operate 

the Line, to Midcoast. Midcoast will 

assume the Agreement and become the 

operator of the Line. Upon 

commencement of operations, Midcoast 

will become a Class III common carrier. 

According to Midcoast, the 

Agreement does not impose or include 

an interchange commitment. Midcoast 

certifies that its projected revenues as a 

result of the transaction will not result 

in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail
