North American Industrial Railway, 

Inc.—Acquisition and Operation 

Exemption—Corn Products 

International, Inc., and Chicago, Peoria 

& Western Railway, Inc. 

North American Industrial Railway, 

Inc. (NAIR), a noncarrier, has filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.31 to acquire exclusive 

operating rights over approximately 17 

miles of rail line (including sidings and 

interchange tracks), owned by Corn 

Products International, Inc. (CPI), and 

CPI’s affiliate, Chicago, Peoria & 

Western Railway, Inc. (CPW),1 in Cook 

County, IL. The trackage serves the Argo 

Facility, owned by CPI, in Bedford Park, 

IL,2 and is not designated by milepost 

markings. NAIR will operate over the 

rail property pursuant to an operating 

agreement with CPI and CPW. 

NAIR certifies that its projected 

revenues as a result of the transaction 

will not exceed those that would qualify 

it as a Class III rail carrier and will not 

exceed $5 million. 

Consummation was scheduled to take 

place on or after September 18, 2005 

(the exemption became effective 

September 16, 2005, 7 days after filing). 

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.

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 34757, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 1925

On September 12, 2005, Central

10502 for exemption from 49 U.S.C. 

10903–10905 to discontinue service 

over a segment of a rail line owned by 

the City of Peoria and the Village of 

Peoria Heights, IL. The segment extends

Peoria, IL, and the north line of Jefferson 

Street at approximately milepost 2.21 in 

Peoria, IL, a distance of 6.29 miles in 

Peoria County, IL. 

The line does not contain federally 

granted rights-of-way. Any 

documentation in the railroad’s 

possession will be made available 

promptly to those requesting it. 

The interests of railroad employees 

will be protected by imposition of 

conditions to approval of 

discontinuance imposed in Oregon 

Short Line R. Co.—Abandonment—

Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979). 

By issuance of this notice, the Board 

is instituting an exemption proceeding 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final 

decision will be issued by December 30, 

2005. 

As indicated, CIRY seeks exemption 

from the offer of financial assistance 

(OFA) provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10904 

and the public use provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 10905, if required. Any filings 

related to these requests will be 

considered in the decision on the 

merits. Any OFA under 49 CFR 

1152.27(b)(2), if appropriate, will be due 

no later than 10 days after service of a 

decision granting the petition for 

exemption.1 Each OFA must be 

accompanied by a $1,200 filing fee. See 

49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25). 

All filings in response to this notice

60604–1112. Replies to the petition are 

due on or before October 20, 2005. 

Persons seeking further information 

concerning abandonment procedures 

may contact the Board’s Office of Public 

Services at (202) 565–1592 or refer to 

the full abandonment or discontinuance 

regulations at 49 CFR part 1152. 

Questions concerning environmental 

issues may be directed to the Board’s 

Section of Environmental Analysis 

(SEA) at (202) 565–1539. [Assistance for 

the hearing impaired is available though 

the Federal Information Relay Service 

(FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339.] 

SEA has determined that this action is 

exempt from environmental reporting 

requirements under 49 CFR 1105.6(c)(2) 

and from historic reporting 

requirements under 49 CFR 

1105.8(b)(3). Consequently, SEA 

concludes that this action does not 

require the preparation of an 

Environmental Assessment.
