[Docket No. FD 35736]


AG Valley Railroad, LLC--Operation Exemption--Ag Valley Holdings, 
LLC

    AG Valley Railroad, LLC (AVRR), a noncarrier, has filed a verified 
notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to operate approximately 3.09 
miles of rail line (16,304 feet), known as the Chicago Transload 
Facility trackage (the Line), in Chicago, Ill., pursuant to an 
operating agreement with Ag Valley Holdings, LLC, (Ag Valley Holdings). 
AVRR states that there are no mileposts on the Line. Based on the map 
provided in Appendix 1-B, the Line is located between E. 100th St. and 
E. 104th St., and roughly parallel to S. Torrence Ave.
    According to AVRR, the Line, which is owned by Ag Valley Holdings, 
is used in conjunction with interchange to and from Chicago Rail Link 
and for transloading carloads of inbound and outbound shipments of 
specified products for distribution to their final destination.
    The earliest the transaction can be consummated is June 6, 2013, 
the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption was 
filed).
    AVRR 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 May 30, 2013 
(at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD 35736, 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 David C. Dillon, Dillon & Nash, Ltd., 111 
West Washington Street, Suite 1023, Chicago, IL 60602.

Proceedings.
