[Docket No. FD 36108]


Indiana Business Railroad, Inc., d.b.a Union City Terminal 
Railroad--Lease and Operation Exemption--in Obion County, Tenn

    Indiana Business Railroad, Inc. (IBR), d.b.a Union City Terminal 
Railroad, a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 
49 CFR 1150.31 to lease from Illinois Central Railroad Company (IC),\1\ 
and to operate approximately 7.8 miles of rail line known as IC's Union 
City Spur between milepost 442.2 at or near Rives and milepost 450.0 at 
or near Union City in Obion County, Tenn.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ IC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Canadian National 
Railway Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IBR states that the proposed lease and operation agreement are not 
subject to interchange commitments.
    The transaction may be consummated on or after April 26, 2017, the 
effective date of the exemption (30 days after the verified notice of 
exemption was filed).
    IBR 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 that the projected annual revenue would 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 for stay must be filed no later than April 19, 
2017 (at least seven days before the exemption becomes effective).
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. 
FD

[[Page 17718]]

36108, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, one copy of each 
pleading must be served on Thomas F. McFarland, Thomas F. McFarland, 
P.C., 208 South LaSalle Street, #1666, Chicago, IL 60604.
    According to IBR, this action is categorically excluded from 
environmental review under 49 CFR 1105.6(c).
