PAV Railroad, Inc.--Acquisition and Operation Exemption--Assets 
of N&T Railway Company LLC

    PAV Railroad, Inc. (PAV), a noncarrier subsidiary of PAV Republic, 
Inc., has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire 
from N&T Railway Company LLC (N&T)\1\ and operate all of N&T's 
interests in the subject line, including track and related 
properties.\2\ The line extends for approximately 21 miles from a point 
at or near the Township of Canton, OH, to the points of interchange 
with the Norfolk Southern Railway Company and The Wheeling & Lake Erie 
Railway Company, at or near the City of Canton, OH.\3\ PAV has 
certified that the projected annual revenues as a result of this 
transaction do not exceed those that would qualify it as a Class III 
rail carrier.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ N&T is a subsidiary of Republic Engineered Products, LLC.
    \2\ In a separate decision in this proceeding, served on 
December 19, 2003, the Board granted PAV's petition for a waiver of 
the Board's 60-day notice requirements at 49 CFR 1150.32(e). This 
proceeding is related to the bankruptcy proceeding In re: Republic 
Engineered Product Holdings, LLC et al., Case Nos: 03-55118, 03-
55120, and 03-55121 and jointly administered as Case No. 03-55118.
    \3\ According to PAV, there appear to be no mileposts on the 
line.
    \4\ This certification was included in a separate letter mailed 
to the Board on December 16, 2003.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after 
December 22, 2003 (7 days after the exemption was filed).
    If the verified notice 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 transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34450, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a
