BILLING CODE 4915-01-P SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD [Docket No. FD 34797 (Sub-No. 1)] New England Transrail, LLC, D/B/A Wilmington & Woburn Terminal Railway—Construction, Acquisition and Operation Exemption—in Wilmington and Woburn, Mass By petition filed June 24, 2016, 1 New England Transrail, LLC
(NET)seeks an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10901 to acquire 5,727 feet of existing track, construct or rehabilitate a combined 10,838 feet of track, and operate as a rail carrier over the combined 16,565 feet of track on and adjacent to a parcel of land owned by the Olin Corporation and located in Wilmington and Woburn, Mass. NET states that, upon commencement of rail operations, it would transload a variety of commodities, including, for example, paper products, steel, scrap steel, wood products, corn syrup, and biofuels at three facilities on the site. 2 1 The petition for exemption in this proceeding is a resubmission of a petition for exemption previously filed in 2003 in *New England Transrail, LLC—Construction, Acquisition, & Operation Exemption—in Wilmington & Woburn, Mass.,* Docket No. FD 34391 and a petition for exemption filed in 2005 in *New England Transrail, LLC—Construction, Acquisition, & Operation Exemption—in Wilmington & Woburn, Mass.,* Docket No. FD 34797. 2 The materials NET plans to transload are similar to those identified in NET's prior petition in Docket No. FD 34797. However, NET states that it no longer plans to “operate a municipal solid waste transfer station.” (Pet. 9.) The petition for exemption raises issues that require consideration by the Board. By this decision, the Board is instituting a proceeding under 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). The issues presented by the petition will be addressed in a subsequent decision. Comments are due by November 4, 2016. *It is ordered:* 1. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(b), a proceeding is instituted. 2. Comments are due by November 4, 2016. 3. Notice of the Board's action will be published in the **Federal Register** . 4. This decision is effective on its date of service. Decided: September 20, 2016. By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings. Tia Delano, Clearance Clerk. [FR Doc. 2016-22952 Filed 9-22-16; 8:45 am]
