This transaction is related to a 

concurrently filed verified notice of 

exemption in STB Finance Docket No. 

35174, Watco Companies, Inc.— 

Continuance in Control Exemption— 

Pacific Sun Railroad, L.L.C. In that 

proceeding, Watco Companies, Inc., has 

filed a verified notice of exemption to 

continue in control of PSRR upon 

PSRR’s becoming a Class III rail carrier. 

PSRR certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of the 

transaction will not result in PSRR 

becoming a Class II or Class I rail carrier 

and further certifies that its projected 

annual revenues will not exceed $5 

million. 

The transaction is expected to be 

consummated on or about October 24, 

2008, and hence after the October 17, 

2008 effective date of the exemption. 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Pub. L. No. 

110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 (2007), 

nothing in this decision authorizes the 

following activities at any solid waste 

rail transfer facility: collecting, storing 

or transferring solid waste outside of its 

original shipping container; or 

separating or processing solid waste 

(including baling, crushing, compacting 

and shredding). The term ‘‘solid waste’’ 

is defined in section 1004 of the Solid 

Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6903. 

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 October 10, 2008 

(at least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35173, must be filed with

Background 

The Kingpin Act became law on 

December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act 

establishes a program targeting the 

activities of significant foreign narcotics 

traffickers and their organizations on a 

worldwide basis. It provides a statutory 

framework for the President to impose 

sanctions against significant foreign 

narcotics traffickers and their 

organizations on a worldwide basis, 

with the objective of denying their 

businesses and agents access to the U.S. 

financial system and to the benefits of 

trade and transactions involving U.S. 

companies and individuals. 

The Kingpin Act blocks all property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, owned or controlled by 

significant foreign narcotics traffickers 

as identified by the President. In 

addition, the Secretary of the Treasury 

consults with the Attorney General, the 

Director of the Central Intelligence 

Agency, the Director of the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation, the 

Administrator of the Drug Enforcement 

Administration, the Secretary of 

Defense, the Secretary of State, and the 

Secretary of Homeland Security when 

designating and blocking the property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, of persons who are found 

to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or 

providing financial or technological 

support for or to, or providing goods or 

services in support of, the international 

narcotics trafficking activities of a 

person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or 

directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, 

a person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant 

role in international narcotics 

trafficking. 

On September 30, 2008, OFAC 

designated eight additional individuals 

whose property and interests in 

property are blocked pursuant to section 

805(b) of the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin 

Designation Act.
