Jackson County Port Authority Railroad--Operation Exemption--
Jackson County Port Authority

    Jackson County Port Authority Railroad (JCPARR), a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to operate 
approximately 2.9 miles of rail line owned by the Jackson County Port 
Authority (JCPA).\1\ The lines to be operated include: (1) The Bayou 
Casotte trackage which extends approximately 1 mile from a connection 
with the Bayou Casotte Branch of CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) to 
JCPA's Bayou Casotte Terminals where it serves two public cargo 
terminals, a distance (including side tracks) of approximately 1.4 
miles; and (2) the Pascagoula River trackage which connects with the 
West Pascagoula Branch of CSXT and extends southward into JCPA's 
Pascagoula River Terminals where it serves four public cargo terminals 
and a grain elevator, a distance (including side tracks) of 
approximately 1.5 miles. JCPARR certifies that its projected revenues 
as a result of this transaction will not exceed those that would 
qualify it as a Class III rail carrier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ JCPA is a public agency and political subdivision in the 
State of Mississippi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was expected to be consummated on or after November 
24, 2001.
    If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, 
the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to reopen the proceeding 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 
transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34134, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each pleading must 
be served on John D. Heffner, 555 Twelfth Street, NW., Suite 950N, 
Washington, DC 20004.

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