KET, LLC--Operation Exemption--Lines of Railroad in Benton 
County, Wash.

    KET, LLC (KET), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of 
exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to operate two industrial spurs\1\ 
totaling approximately 1.28 miles of track in Kennewick and Hedges, 
Benton County, Wash.:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ KET states that it acquired the industrial spurs from the 
Port of Kennewick, Washington on July 23, 2013. According to KET, 
the industrial spurs will have no mileposts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) The Kennewick track includes the following: A main industrial 
spur in the City of Kennewick originating at the connection with the 
Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) ``City Lead'' (connecting at its 
west end to UP's Kalan Industrial Lead) from the east edge of 
Washington St., running along the line of Bruneau Ave. extending in an 
easterly direction and terminating east of the intersection of Bruneau 
Ave. and Kingwood St. This main industrial rail spur also connects with 
BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) along Bruneau Ave. west of the intersection 
with N Elm St. The main industrial rail spur is 3,694 feet 
(approximately 0.7 miles) in length. A branch spur (Ash Grove Spur) 
diverges from the main industrial rail spur along the line extending 
east on Bruneau Ave., east of its intersection with N. Gum St. and

    (2) The Hedges track originates at the connection with UP and runs 
southeast to the property line of Nutrien Chemical Company, a distance 
of approximately 1,600 feet (0.30 miles).

transaction.

misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to 
revoke the exemption under 49 CFR 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 by
