1By letter dated November 29, 2007, BP Rail 

Corporation D/B/A BP Rail (BPR) advised the Board 

of its intent to file an offer of financial assistance 

(OFA) to purchase the 4.50-mile line proposed for 

abandonment. In the November 29 letter, BPR also 

requested that NSR provide certain information 

regarding the line, including the required minimum 

purchase price. BPR also requested that the Board 

toll the 30-day period for submitting OFAs for an 

additional 60 days in order to provide the offeror 

with an adequate opportunity to receive, review 

and analyze the material provided by NSR and 

submit its OFA. These requests will be handled in 

a separate decision. 

2The Board will grant a stay if an informed 

decision on environmental issues (whether raised 

by a party or by the Board’s Section of 

Environmental Analysis (SEA) in its independent 

investigation) cannot be made before the 

exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any 

request for a stay should be filed as soon as possible 

so that the Board may take appropriate action before 

the exemption’s effective date. 

3Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which currently is set at $1,300. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25).

Arizona Eastern Railway, Inc.—

Acquisition and Operation ExemptionUnion Pacific Railroad Company 

Arizona Eastern Railway, Inc. (AZER), 

a Class III rail carrier, has filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR 

1150.41 to acquire from Union Pacific 

Railroad Company (UP) and operate a 

67.7-mile line of railroad known as the 

Clifton Subdivision, extending between 

milepost 1150.00 at Lordsburg, NM, and 

milepost 1217.70 at Clifton, AZ.1

The transaction is expected to be 

consummated on or after February 1, 

2008. 

AZER certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of the 

transaction will not result in AZER 

becoming a Class II or Class I rail 

carrier. However, because its projected 

annual revenues will exceed $5 million, 

AZER also has certified to the Board on 

December 3, 2007, that it has complied 

with the employee notice requirements 

of 49 CFR 1150.42(e). Pursuant to that 

provision, the exemption may not 

become effective until 60 days from the 

date of certification to the Board, which 

would be February 1, 2008. 

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. Stay petitions must be 

filed by January 25, 2008 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35109, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–

0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on John D.
