Portage County Board of Commissioners-Acquisition Exemption-
Portage Private Industry Council, Inc.

    Portage County Board of Commissioners (PC), a noncarrier, has filed 
a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire from the 
Portage Private Industry Council, Inc., approximately 7.23 miles of 
rail line (and connecting side tracks) formerly known as Conrail's 
Freedom Secondary line between milepost 190.04, 
near Kent, and milepost 182.82, near Ravenna, in 
Portage County, OH.\1\ According to PC, the operator of the line will 
continue to be the current operator, Akron Barberton Cluster Railway 
Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ An amendment was filed on March 1, 2004, correcting the 
description of the line to reflect that the acquired property ends 
at milepost 190.04 instead of milepost 190.05.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    PC certifies that its projected annual revenues will not exceed 
those that would qualify it as a Class III rail carrier and that its 
annual revenues are not projected to exceed $5 million.
    PC states that the parties intended to consummate the transaction 
on or after March 2, 2004, the effective date of the exemption (7 days 
after the exemption was filed).
    If the 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. 34463, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one 
copy of each pleading must be served on Keith G. O'Brien, Rea, Cross & 
Auchincloss, 1707 L Street, N.W., Suite 570, Washington, DC 20036.
    Board decisions and notices are available on our website at http://www.stb.dot.gov.

    Decided: March 11, 2004.

    By the Board,
David M. Konschnik,
Director, Office of Proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
