1The trackage rights being granted here are only 

temporary rights but, because they are ‘‘local’’ 

rather than ‘‘overhead’’ rights, they do not qualify 

for the Board’s class exemption for temporary 

trackage rights at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8). See R.R. 

Consolidation Procedures—Exemption for 

Temporary Trackage Rights, STB EP 282 (Sub-No. 

20) (STB served May 23, 2003). Therefore, BNSF 

has concurrently filed a petition for partial 

revocation of this exemption in BNSF Railway 

Company—Temporary Trackage Rights Exemption– 

Union Pacific Railroad Company, Docket No. FD 

35879 (Sub-No. 1), wherein BNSF requests that the 

Board permit the proposed local trackage rights 

arrangement described in the present proceeding to 

expire at midnight on or about October 31, 2015, 

as provided in the parties’ agreement. That petition 

will be addressed by the Board in a separate 

decision.

The complete application is given in 

DOT docket MARAD–2014–0149 at 

http://www.regulations.gov. Interested 

parties may comment on the effect this 

action may have on U.S. vessel builders 

or businesses in the U.S. that use U.S.- 

flag vessels. If MARAD determines, in 

accordance with 46 U.S.C. 12121 and 

MARAD’s regulations at 46 CFR part 

388, that the issuance of the waiver will 

have an unduly adverse effect on a U.S.- 

vessel builder or a business that uses 

U.S.-flag vessels in that business, a 

waiver will not be granted. Comments 

should refer to the docket number of 

this notice and the vessel name in order 

for MARAD to properly consider the 

comments. Comments should also state 

the commenter’s interest in the waiver 

application, and address the waiver 

criteria given in § 388.4 of MARAD’s 

regulations at 46 CFR part 388.

Abstract: The regulations provide

property subject to construction 

allowance as nonresidential real 

property owned by the lessor.
