This transaction is related to a 

verified notice of exemption filed 

concurrently in Kean Burenga—

Docket No. FD 36597, in which Kean 

Burenga and Chesapeake and Delaware, 

LLC, seek to continue in control of 

DRRR upon DRRR’s becoming a Class III 

rail carrier. This transaction is also 

related to a verified notice for a 

modified certificate of public 

convenience and necessity in Delaware 

& Raritan River Railroad—Modified Rail 

Certificate, Docket No. FD 36598, in 

which DRRR seeks authority to operate 

an additional NJT-owned line segment 

which will connect the two NJT-owned 

line segments that are the subject of this 

verified notice. 

DRRR certifies that its projected 

annual revenues from this transaction 

will not result in its becoming a Class

that the proposed transaction does not 

include an interchange commitment. 

The transaction may be consummated 

on or after June 19, 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 June 10, 2022 (at 

least seven days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

FD 36596, must be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board either via

writing addressed to 395 E Street SW,

be served on DRRR’s representative,

reporting requirements under 49 CFR 

1105.8(b).
