INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Finance Docket No. 32036 (Sub-No. 2)]


Wisconsin Central Transportation Corporation, et al.--Continuance 
in Control--Fox Valley and Western Ltd.

    By decision served February 11, 1993, we presented an oversight 
plan which allowed us to monitor effectively the competitive results of 
Wisconsin Central Transportation Corporation's (WCTC) continuance in 
control of Fox Valley and Western Ltd. (FV&W).1 As detailed in the 
decision, the oversight covers 5 years and contains five elements: 
notification of shippers, reporting by applicants, discussion with 
selected parties, a proceeding, and a staff report. We have been 
actively monitoring the transaction since its consummation on August 
28, 1993.

    \1\ This transaction was approved by decision served December 
10, 1992, which was corrected by a decision served December 22, 
1992. See Wisc. Central Transportation Corporation, et al., 9 
I.C.C.2d 233 (1992).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice initiates one element of the oversight function--the 
proceeding. In our February 1993 decision, we stated that a proceeding 
would be conducted annually during which applicants, shippers, and 
other interested parties may express their views on the competitive 
impacts of the transaction and on appropriate conditions to remedy any 
substantial 

[[Page 40388]]
anticompetitive effects. This proceeding is a fact-finding mechanism 
and will not necessarily result in a formal ruling.
    This action will not significantly affect either the quality of the 
human environment or the conservation of energy resources.
    It is ordered:
    1. Applicants, shippers, and other interested parties may file 
written comments with the Commission regarding the competitive impacts 
of WCTC's continuance in control of FV&W. Participants are asked to 
address: (1) whether substantial competitive harm has resulted from the 
transaction; and (2) if so, whether appropriate and workable conditions 
can be formulated.
    2. Comments will be accepted no later than September 7, 1995. An 
original and 10 copies of the comments, referencing Finance Docket No. 
32036 (Sub-No. 2), must be mailed to: Office of the Secretary, 
Interstate Commerce Commission, 1201 Constitution Avenue, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20423. Comments need not be served on other 
persons.2
