[Docket No. FD 35697]


Buckeye Hammond Railroad, L.L.C.; Acquisition and Operation 
Exemption; Buckeye Partners, L.P.

    Buckeye Hammond Railroad, L.L.C. (BHRR), a noncarrier, has filed a 
verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 \1\ to acquire from 
Buckeye Partners, L.P., a noncarrier, and to operate approximately 
6,797 feet (1.29 miles) of track,\2\ existing railroad right-of-way, 
and bulk liquid transloading facilities in Hammond, Ind. BHRR will 
interchange traffic with the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The notice was initially filed on December 6, 2012, but it 
did not meet the Board's regulatory requirements. BHRR filed 
supplements on December 17 and 18, 2012. Because the notice was not 
complete until the December 18 filing, that date will be considered 
the actual filing date.
    \2\ Applicant states that the track does not have designated 
mileposts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The transaction may be consummated on or after January 17, 2013 (30 
days after the notice of exemption was filed).
    BHRR certifies that its projected annual 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.
    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 to stay must be filed no later than January 10, 
2013 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35697, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW.,
