DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[STB Finance Docket No. 35102] 

Patriot Rail, LLC, Patriot Rail Holdings, 

LLC, and Patriot Rail Corp.—Control 

Exemption—Utah Central Railway 

Company 

Patriot Rail, LLC (PRL) and its 

subsidiaries, Patriot Rail Holdings, LLC 

(PRH) and Patriot Rail Corp. (Patriot) 

(collectively, applicants), jointly have 

filed a verified notice of exemption to 

permit PRL, PRH, and Patriot to acquire 

control of Utah Central Railway 

Company (Utah Central) through 

Patriot’s acquisition of 100% of the 

outstanding stock of Utah Central, 

pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement 

dated October 29, 2007 (Agreement).1

PRL is a noncarrier limited liability 

company that owns 51% of the stock of 

PRH. PRH is a noncarrier limited 

liability company that owns 100% of 

the stock of Patriot. Patriot is a 

noncarrier holding company that owns 

100% of the stock of the Tennessee 

Southern Railroad Company, a Class III 

rail carrier, operating in Tennessee and 

Alabama, and 100% of the stock of 

Patriot Rarus Acquisition Corp., which 

owns 100% of the outstanding stock of 

Rarus Railway Company, a Class III rail 

carrier, operating in Montana.2 Pursuant 

to the Agreement, Patriot will acquire 

direct control of Utah Central. PRL, 

through its control of PRH, and PRH, 

through its control of Patriot, will 

acquire indirect control of Utah Central. 

Utah Central is a Class III rail carrier 

that leases and operates a line of 

railroad from Union Pacific Railroad 

Company in the Ogden, UT area.3 The 

trackage encompasses the former 

Denver, Rio Grande & Western Railroad 

main line trackage and appurtenances. 

Utah Central also acquired 

approximately 15 miles of trackage in 

the Ogden area.4

The transaction is scheduled to be 

consummated on or after the date that 

this notice becomes effective (which 

will occur on November 29, 2007). 

Applicants state that: (i) The rail lines 

involved in this transaction do not 

connect with any rail lines now 

controlled, directly or indirectly, by 

PRL, PRH, or Patriot; (ii) the acquisition 

of control of Utah Central by PRL, PRH, 

and Patriot is not part of a series of 

anticipated transactions that would 

connect any of these railroads with each 

other or any railroad in their corporate 

family; and (iii) this transaction does 

not involve a Class I carrier. Therefore, 

this transaction is exempt from the prior 

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11323. See 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. Section 11326(c), however, 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under sections 11324 and 

11325 that involve only Class III rail 

carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not 

impose labor protective conditions here, 

because all of the carriers involved are 

Class III rail carriers. 

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 November 21, 

2007 (at least 7 days before the 

exemption becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35102, 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 Louis E. 

Gitomer, Esq., Law Offices of Louis E. 

Gitomer, 600 Baltimore Avenue, Suite 

301, Towson, MD 21204.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Registration of Money Services 

Business. 

OMB Number: 1506–0013. 

Form Number: FinCEN Form 107. 

Abstract: The statute generally 

referred to as the ‘‘Bank Secrecy Act,’’

Titles I and II of Public Law 91–508, as 

amended, codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b, 

12 U.S.C. 1951–1959, and 31 U.S.C. 

5311–5330, authorizes the Secretary of 

the Treasury, inter alia, to issue 

regulations requiring records and 

reports that are determined to have a 

high degree of usefulness in criminal, 

tax, and regulatory matters. Regulations 

implementing Title II of the Bank 

Secrecy Act (codified at 31 U.S.C. 5311–

5330) appear at 31 CFR Part 103. The 

authority of the Secretary to administer 

the Bank Secrecy Act has been 

delegated to the Director of FinCEN. 

Under 31 U. S. C. 5330 and its 

implementing regulations, money 

services businesses must register with 

the Department of the Treasury, 

maintain a list of their agents, and 

renew their registration every two years. 

Currently, money services businesses 

register by filing FinCEN Form 107, 

which is being revised, as explained 

below. The information collected on the 

revised form is required to comply with 

31 U. S. C. 5330 and its implementing 

regulations. The information will be 

used to assist supervisory and law 

enforcement agencies in the 

enforcement of criminal, tax, and 

regulatory laws and to prevent money 

services businesses from being used by 

those engaging in money laundering. 

The collection of information is 

mandatory. 

Money services businesses are 

advised that the draft form that appears 

at the end of this notice is presented 

only for purposes of soliciting public 

comment on the draft form. They should 

not use the draft form to register, renew, 

correct a prior report, or re-register with 

Treasury. A final version of the draft 

form will be made available at a later 

date. In the meantime, money services 

businesses can use the current FinCEN 

Form 107. 

Current Actions: The current Form 

107 and instructions are revised as 

follows: Part I, Item 1, of Form 107 is 

amended to read ‘‘Indicate the type of 

filing by checking a, b, or d below 

(Check only one). If filing a correction, 

check ‘‘c’’ and either a, b, or d.’’ The 

instructions are revised to read, ‘‘Item 

1—Check either box a, b, or d (only one) 

for the type of filing. If this report 

corrects an earlier filing, check box ‘‘c’’

and either box a, b, or d.’’ In Part II, an 

asterisk has been added to items 3, 5, 6, 

7, and 9, to indicate that these items are 

mandatory for a registration to be 

accepted as valid. Item 11, e-mail 

address, has been added to facilitate 

contacting the filer. All other current 

data elements, check boxes and the 

remaining forms instructions are 

unchanged. 

Type of Review: Revision of currently 

approved collection report. 

Affected public: Individuals, business 

or other for-profit institutions, and notfor-profit institutions. 

Frequency: As required. 

Estimated Burden: Reporting average 

of 30 minutes per response; 

recordkeeping average of 30 minutes per 

response. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

40,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 40,000 hours. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Records required to be retained under 

the Bank Secrecy Act must be retained 

for five years. Generally, information 

collected pursuant to the Bank Secrecy 

Act is confidential, but may be shared 

as provided by law with regulatory and 

law enforcement authorities. 

Request for Comments: 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance and purchase of services to 

provide information.
