INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32449]

 

San Bernardino Associated Governments--Acquisition Exemption--
Southern Pacific Transportation Co.

    San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) has filed a notice 
of exemption to acquire from Southern Pacific Transportation Company 
(SP), approximately 21.86 miles of SP's Baldwin Park Branch line 
between mileposts 515.82 and 537.68, all in San Bernardino County, CA. 
According to SANBAG, the acquisition took place on April 19, 1991, when 
SANBAG was a noncarrier.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\This proceeding is related to Docket No. AB-12 (Sub-No. 
158X), Southern Pacific Transportation Company--Discontinuance of 
Service Exemption--San Bernardino, CA, wherein SP seeks an exemption 
under 49 U.S.C. 10505 from the prior approval requirements of 49 
U.S.C. 10903 et seq. to discontinue service over a 15.70-mile 
portion of the Baldwin Park Branch between mileposts 519.80 and 
535.50. The Commission has deferred issuing a decision on SP's 
petition pending SANBAG's response concerning its possible 
unauthorized acquisition of the line. SANBAG responded by filing 
this notice of exemption.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice is filed under 49 CFR 1150.31.2 If the notice 
contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab 
initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10505(d) may 
be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not stay 
the transaction. Pleadings must be filed with the Commission and served 
on: Charles A. Spitulnik, Hopkins & Sutter, 888 16th St., NW, suite 
700, Washington, DC 20006.

    \2\SANBAG requests that exemption be considered nunc pro tunc; 
however, we note that the class exemption involved here provides 
only for prospective application. Under the class exemption 
procedures, this exemption became effective on January 17, 1994, 
seven days after it was filed with the Commission on January 10, 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1994.

    Decided: January 31, 1994.

    By the Commission, David M. Konschnik, Director, Office of 
Proceedings.
