986 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 6 / Friday, January 9, 2009 / Notices 

DCRR states that the trackage rights 

agreement has been consummated but 

that, after it was consummated, USS 

management was advised by counsel 

that a grant of trackage rights would 

require Board approval. Thus, this 

notice of exemption is filed on a nunc 

pro tunc basis. Under 49 CFR 1180.4(g), 

in order to qualify for an exemption 

under 49 CFR 1180.2(d), a railroad must 

file a verified notice of the transaction 

with the Board at least 30 days in 

advance of consummation. In this case, 

the verified notice was filed on 

December 24, 2008. Therefore, the 

earliest this transaction could be 

consummated is January 23, 2009, the 

effective date of the exemption (30 days 

after the exemption was filed). The 

purpose of the trackage rights is to 

permit DCRR to move trains consisting 

of empty ‘‘bottle cars’’ between 

Tecumseh Yard and CN’s line to USS’s 

facility on Zug Island, which will 

enhance operational efficiencies. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employees affected by the acquisition of 

the trackage rights will be protected by 

the conditions imposed in Norfolk and 

Western Ry. Co.—Trackage Rights—BN, 

354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in 

Mendocino Coast Ry., Inc.—Lease and 

Operate, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980). 

This notice is filed under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(7). If it 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. Stay petitions must be 

filed by January 16, 2009 (at least 7 days 

before the exemption becomes 

effective). 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

110–161, section 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. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35180, 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 John A. 

Vuono, Esq., Vuono & Gray, LLC, 310
