In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) 

and 31315 each exemption is valid for 

two years unless revoked earlier by 

FMCSA. The exemption will be revoked 

if the following occurs: (1) The person 

fails to comply with the terms and 

conditions of the exemption; (2) the 

exemption has resulted in a lower level 

of safety than was maintained before it 

was granted; or (3) continuation of the 

exemption would not be consistent with 

the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315. If the exemption is 

still effective at the end of the 2-year 

period, the person may apply to FMCSA 

for a renewal under procedures in effect 

at that time.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. FD 35861] 

California High Speed Rail Authority— 

Petition for Declaratory Order 

On October 9, 2014, the California 

High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) 

filed a petition requesting that the Board 

issue a declaratory order regarding the 

availability of injunctive remedies 

under the California Environmental 

Quality Act (CEQA) to prevent or delay 

construction of an approximately 114- 

mile high-speed passenger rail line 

between Fresno and Bakersfield, Cal. 

(the Line). The Board authorized 

construction of the Line, subject to 

certain conditions, in California HighSpeed Rail Authority—Construction 

Exemption—in Fresno, Kings, Tulare, & 

Kern Counties, California, FD 35724 

(Sub-No. 1) (STB served August 12, 

2014) (Vice Chairman Miller concurring 

and Commissioner Begeman dissenting). 

The Authority states that seven lawsuits 

have been filed against the Authority 

challenging its compliance with CEQA 

with respect to the Line and that the 

lawsuits seek injunctive remedies under 

CEQA that would prevent or delay 

construction of the Line. The Authority 

argues that 49 U.S.C. 10501(b) would 

preempt such CEQA remedies because 

injunctive relief would enjoin 

construction of a Board-authorized 

project. 

The Authority has requested that the 

Board issue an expedited declaratory 

order by November 20, 2014. The first 

case management conference for the 

lawsuits is scheduled for November 21, 

2014, and the Authority claims that a 

declaratory order issued before that 

conference would remove uncertainty 

regarding the CEQA injunctive remedies 

available to the litigants. The Authority 

states that it served a copy of its petition 

on all counsel of record in the lawsuits. 

The Board has discretionary authority 

under 5 U.S.C. 554(e) and 49 U.S.C. 721 

to issue a declaratory order to eliminate 

a controversy or remove uncertainty. 

Here, it is appropriate to institute a 

declaratory order proceeding so that the 

Board can consider the issues raised in 

the Authority’s petition regarding 

whether 10501(b) would preempt CEQA 

injunctive remedies regarding the Line. 

The Board will therefore institute a 

proceeding to consider the matter. 

Interested persons may file substantive 

replies to the Authority’s petition by 

November 6, 2014. 

This action will not significantly 

affect either the quality of the human 

environment or the conservation of 

energy resources. 

It is ordered: 

1. A declaratory order proceeding is 

instituted. 

2. Interested persons may file 

substantive replies to the Authority’s 

petition by November 6, 2014. 

3. This decision is effective on its 

service date. 

By the Board.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
