SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. FD 35258 (Sub-No. 1)]
Mississippi Central Railroad Co.--Amended Lease and Operation
Exemption--Line of Tishomingo County, Mississippi
Mississippi Central Railroad Co. (MSCI), a Class III rail carrier,
has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.41 to renew
its lease and continue to operate a line of railroad owned by, and
located in, Tishomingo County, Miss., between Norfolk Southern Railway
Company's Iuka Wye at milepost 0.0 and the Tri-State Commerce Park at
milepost 10.0 (the Line).
According to the verified notice, MSCI has leased and operated the
Line since 2009.\1\ MSCI states that the lease for the Line expired on
December 31, 2019, and that, pursuant to a recently signed Rail Line
Lease & Operating Agreement (Agreement), the parties have agreed to
extend the lease through December 31, 2023, with the option for MSCI
thereafter to extend the lease for two additional four-year terms in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. MSCI states that it will
continue to operate and provide common carrier service to shippers on
the Line.

\1\ See Miss. Cent. R.R.--Change in Operators Exemption--
Tishomingo R.R., FD 35258 (STB served July 10, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MSCI certifies that its projected annual revenues from this
transaction will not result in its becoming a Class I or Class II rail
carrier and will not exceed $5 million.
The earliest this transaction may be consummated is June 26, 2021,
the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the verified notice
was filed).
If the 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 June 18, 2021.
All pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 35258 (Sub-No. 1), should
be filed with the Surface Transportation Board via e-filing on the
Board's website. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be served on
MSCI's representative, William A. Mullins, Baker & Miller PLLC, 2401
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20037.
According to MSCI, this action is categorically excluded from
environmental review under 49 CFR
[[Page 31368]]
1105.6(c) and from historic reporting under 49 CFR 1105.8(b).

Decided: June 8, 2021.
By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting Director, Office of
Proceedings.
