[STB Finance Docket No. 34990]


Moscow Camden and San Augustine Railroad LLC--Acquisition and 
Operation Exemption--Assets of Moscow, Camden & San Augustine Railroad

    Moscow Camden and San Augustine Railroad LLC (MCSA), a noncarrier, 
has filed a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to acquire and 
operate the assets of a Class III rail carrier, Moscow, Camden & San 
Augustine Railroad, including a 6.9-mile line which runs between an 
International Paper Company (International Paper) integrated plywood 
plant and lumber mill complex at Camden, TX, and a Union Pacific 
Railroad Company line at Moscow, TX.
    MCSA states that, as part of a December 21, 2006 agreement, 
Georgia-Pacific Wood Products South LLC (Georgia-Pacific South), a 
subsidiary of Georgia-Pacific Corporation (now Georgia-Pacific LLC) 
(Georgia-Pacific), has agreed to purchase International Paper's Camden 
complex, including the assets of Moscow, Camden & San Augustine 
Railroad. Prior to the closing of the transaction, Georgia-Pacific 
South will assign its right to acquire the assets that constitute the 
rail line to MCSA, which is currently expected to be formed as a 
Delaware limited liability company and will acquire the railroad-
related assets at closing.
    This transaction is related to STB Finance Docket No. 34991, Koch 
Industries, Inc.--Continuance in Control Exemption--Moscow Camden and 
San Augustine Railroad LLC, wherein Koch Industries, Inc., the ultimate 
parent of Georgia-Pacific, seeks to continue in control of MCSA upon 
its becoming a Class III rail carrier.
    MCSA 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 and will not exceed $5 million.
    The earliest this transaction may be consummated is the March 2, 
2007 effective date of the exemption (30 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. 
Petitions for stay must be filed no later than February 23, 2007 (at 
least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34990, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a 
copy of each pleading must be served on David H. Coburn, 1330 
Connecticut Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20036. Board decisions and 
notices are available on our Web site at http://www.stb.dot.gov.

    Decided: February 6, 2007.

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