Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 6, 2010 / Notices 61817 

1 JAIL is a noncarrier entity, wholly owned and 

controlled by ADBF. In addition, ADBF currently 

controls through stock ownership 3 Class III 

carriers: The Charlotte Southern Railroad Company; 

the Detroit Connecting Railroad Company; and the 

Lapeer Industrial Railroad Company, all within the 

State of Michigan. 

2 In addition, JAIL will acquire from NSR 

incidental trackage rights over 2.96 miles of track 

on NSR’s Michigan Main Line in Jackson, Mich., for 

the sole purpose of interchanging with NSR. 

3 JAIL states that, despite the apparent overlap, 

the boundary of the assigned trackage rights is 

distinct from the boundary of the Lansing 

Secondary. The apparent overlap is the result of an 

historical rounding error in NSR’s engineering 

maps.

version of the Voucher for Work 

Performed under Provisions of the 

Federal Aid Highway Acts, as amended, 

Form PR–20, is used by all recipients to 

request progress and final payments.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35410] 

Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road 

Company—Continuance in Control 

Exemption—Jackson & Lansing 

Railroad Company 

Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road 

Company (ADBF), a Class III rail carrier, 

has filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2) to continue 

in control of Jackson & Lansing Railroad 

Company (JAIL), upon JAIL’s becoming 

a Class III rail carrier.1

This transaction is related to 2 other 

transactions for which notices of 

exemption have been simultaneously 

filed: Docket No. FD 35411, Jackson & 

Lansing Railroad Company—Lease and 

Operation Exemption—Norfolk 

Southern Railway Company, in which 

JAIL seeks an exemption under 49 CFR 

1150.31 to lease from Norfolk Southern 

Railway Company (NSR), and to 

operate, approximately 44.5 miles of rail 

lines,2 known as the Lansing Secondary, 

the Lansing Manufacturers Railroad, 

and segments of the Lansing Industrial 

Track; and Docket No. FD 35418, 

Jackson & Lansing Railroad Company— 

Trackage Rights Exemption—Norfolk 

Southern Railway Company, in which 

JAIL seeks to acquire, pursuant to an 

agreement with NSR, non-exclusive 

local and overhead trackage rights over 

approximately 1.06 miles of the line 

owned by NSR and currently leased to 

CSX Transportation, Inc., on the 

Lansing Secondary, between milepost 

LZ 36.8 3 in Lansing, Mich., and 

milepost 37.86 in North Lansing, Mich., 

for the sole purpose of interchanging 

with NSR. 

This transaction may not be 

consummated until October 20, 2010, 

the effective date of the exemption (30 

days after exemption was filed). 

ADBF states that: (1) The rail lines to 

be operated by JAIL do not connect with 

the lines of ADBF or any other single 

railroad controlled by ADBF’s corporate 

family; (2) the transaction is not part of 

a series of anticipated transactions that 

would result in such a connection; and 

(3) the transaction does not involve a 

Class I rail carrier. Therefore, the 

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 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 October 13, 2010 

(at least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35410, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, 1 copy of each pleading must 

be served on John D. Heffner, PLLC, and 

James H. M. Savage, Of Counsel, 1750 

K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20006.

Decided: October 1, 2010.
