SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. EP 552 (Sub-No. 25)] 

Railroad Revenue Adequacy—2020 

Determination 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. 

ACTION: Notice of decision. 

SUMMARY: On September 7, 2021, the 

Board served a decision announcing the 

2020 revenue adequacy determinations 

for the Nation’s Class I railroads. Five 

Class I railroads (BNSF Railroad 

Company, CSX Transportation, Inc., The 

Kansas City Southern Railway 

Company, Soo Line Corporation, and 

Union Pacific Railroad Company) were 

found to be revenue adequate. 

DATES: This decision is effective on 

September 7, 2021.

Assistance for the hearing impaired is 

available through the Federal Relay 

Service at (800) 877–8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49 

U.S.C. 10704(a)(3), the Board is required 

to make an annual determination of 

railroad revenue adequacy. A railroad is 

considered revenue adequate under 49 

U.S.C. 10704(a) if it achieves a rate of 

return on net investment (ROI) equal to 

at least the current cost of capital for the 

railroad industry. For 2020, this number 

was determined to be 7.89% in R.R. 

Cost of Capital—2020, EP 558 (Sub-No. 

24) (STB served Aug. 6, 2021). The 

Board then applied this revenue 

adequacy standard to each Class I 

railroad. Five Class I carriers (BNSF 

Railroad Company, CSX Transportation, 

Inc., The Kansas City Southern Railway 

Company, Soo Line Corporation, and 

Union Pacific Railroad Company) were 

found to be revenue adequate for 2020. 

The decision in this proceeding is 

posted at www.stb.gov. 

Decided: September 3, 2021. 

By the Board, Board Members Begeman, 

Fuchs, Oberman, Primus, and Schultz.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36534] 

Arkansas-Oklahoma Railroad, Inc.— 

Lease and Operation Exemption With 

Interchange Commitment—BNSF 

Railway Company 

Arkansas-Oklahoma Railroad, Inc. 

(AOK), a Class III rail carrier, has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41 to lease from BNSF 

Railway Company (BNSF) and operate 

an approximately 10.658 miles of rail 

line extending between milepost 

134.037 and milepost 123.379 on 

BNSF’s Shawnee Industrial Spur in 

Shawnee, Okla. (the Line). 

The verified notice states that AOK 

and BNSF have entered into a lease 

agreement and that AOK will operate 

the Line after the transaction. 

AOK certifies that its projected annual 

revenues from this transaction will not 

result in AOK’s becoming a Class I or 

Class II rail carrier. Pursuant to 49 CFR 

1150.42(e), which applies ‘‘[i]f the 

projected annual revenue of the rail 

lines to be acquired or operated, 

together with the acquiring carrier’s 

projected annual revenue, exceeds $5 

million,’’ AOK certified on July 29, 2021 

that notice of the transaction was posted 

at the workplaces of current BNSF 

employees on the Line and was being 

served on the national offices of the 

labor unions for those employees. 

As required under 49 CFR 

1150.43(h)(1), AOK has disclosed in its 

verified notice that its lease agreement 

with BNSF contains an interchange 

commitment that affects interchange 

with carriers other than BNSF.1 The 

affected interchange is with Union 

Pacific Railroad Company at Oklahoma 

City, Okla. AOK has provided 

additional information regarding the 

interchange commitment as required by 

49 CFR 1150.43(h). 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is September 27, 2021 (60 

days after the certification under 49 CFR 

1150.42(e) was filed). 

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 effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than September 20, 

2021. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36534, 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 AOK’s representative: 

Eric M. Hocky, Clark Hill PLC, Two 

Commerce Square, 2001 Market Street, 

Suite 2620, Philadelphia, PA 19103. 

According to AOK, 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).
