[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 246 (Friday, December 22, 1995)] [Notices] [Page 66556] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-31084] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION [Finance Docket No. 32823] John C. Nolan--Continuance in Control Exemption--Lancaster Northern Railway John C. Nolan (Nolan) has filed a notice of exemption to continue in control of Lancaster Northern Railway (LANO), upon LANO becoming a class III rail carrier. LANO, a noncarrier, has concurrently filed a notice of exemption in Finance Docket No. 32822, Lancaster Northern Railway--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Line of Consolidated Rail Corporation, in which LANO seeks to acquire and operate approximately 12.90 miles of rail line owned by Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail), known as the Akron Secondary Track LC 20-0337, between the connection with Conrail at approximately milepost 0.05 at Sinking Spring, Berks County, PA, and the end of the track at Stevens at approximately milepost 12.94, in Lancaster County, PA. The parties intended to consummate the proposed transaction on November 30, 1995. Nolan also controls, through stock ownership, two other nonconnecting class III rail carriers that operate in Pennsylvania: East Penn Railways, Inc., and Bristol Industrial Terminal Railway. Nolan states that: (1) The railroads do not connect with each other nor do they belong to any family of lines to which they connect; (2) the involved transaction is not a part of a series of anticipated transactions that would connect the railroads with each other or any railroad within its corporate family; and (3) the transaction does not involve a class I carrier. The transaction is therefore exempt from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11343. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). As a condition to the use of this exemption, any employees affected by the transaction will be protected by the conditions set forth in New York Dock Ry.--Control--Brooklyn Eastern Dist., 360 I.C.C. 60 (1979). 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 automatically stay the transaction. Pleadings must be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch, 1201 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20423 1 and served on: John K. Fiorilla, 390 George Street, P.O. Box 1185, New Brunswick, NJ 08903. \1\ Legislation to sunset the Commission on December 31, 1995, and transfer remaining functions is now under consideration in Congress. Until further notice, parties submitting pleadings should continue to use the current name and address. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Decided: December 14, 1995.
