[Docket No. FD 35603]


San Antonio Central Railroad, L.L.C.--Lease Exemption--Port 
Authority of San Antonio

    San Antonio Central Railroad, L.L.C. (SAC), a noncarrier, has filed 
a verified notice of exemption pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.31 to lease and 
operate approximately four miles of rail line owned by the Port 
Authority of San Antonio (the Port), in San Antonio, Tex.
    This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice 
of exemption in Wacto Holdings, Inc.--Continuance in Control 
Exemption--San Antonio Central Railroad, L.L.C., Docket No. FD 35604, 
wherein Watco Holdings, Inc. has filed a verified notice of exemption 
to continue in control of SAC upon SAC becoming a Class III rail 
carrier.
    As a result of this transaction, SAC will provide common carrier 
rail service over the rail lines owned by the Port in the East Kelly 
Railport (the Railport) \1\ and will be able to interchange traffic 
with both the Union Pacific Railroad Company and BNSF Railway Company. 
SAC states that the lease agreement between SAC and the Port will not 
contain any interchange commitments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ According to SAC, there are no mileposts associated with the 
tracks in the Railport.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SAC certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of 
this transaction will not result in SAC's becoming a Class II or Class 
I rail carrier and further certifies that its projected annual revenues 
will not exceed $5 million.
    The transaction is expected to be consummated on or after July 1, 
2012, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the notice of 
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 effectiveness of the 
exemption. Petitions for stay must be filed by June 22, 2012 (at least 
seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35603, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each 
pleading must be served on Karl Morell, Ball Janik LLP, 655 Fifteenth 
Street NW., Suite 225, Washington, DC 20005.
