Macquarie Infrastructure Partners V
GP, LLC—Acquisition of Control
Exemption—Grenada Railroad, LLC,
and Florida, Gulf & Atlantic Railroad,
LLC
Macquarie Infrastructure Partners V
GP, LLC (MIP GP), a noncarrier, filed on
behalf of MIP Infrastructure Partners V
fund vehicle (MIP V) and MIP V Rail,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
LLC (MIP Rail),1 a verified notice of
exemption under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2) to
acquire control of two Class III railroads
currently owned by RailUSA, LLC
(RailUSA): Grenada Railroad, LLC
(GRYR), and Florida, Gulf & Atlantic
Railroad, LLC (FGA).2
The verified notice states that,
pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated
November 23, 2021,3 MIP Rail has
agreed to acquire 100% of the equity
interests of RailUSA from its parent,
American Rail Partners, LLC, which will
result in MIP Rail’s indirect control of
both GRYR and FGA. (Verified Notice
1.) According to the verified notice, MIP
Rail, MIP V, MIP GP, and their affiliates
do not own or control any other United
States rail carriers.
MIP GP states that: (1) The lines over
which GRYR and FGA operate do not
connect with one another, (2) the
proposed transaction is not part of a
series of anticipated transactions that
would connect the lines with each
other; and (3) the transaction does not
involve a Class I rail carrier. Therefore,
the proposed transaction is exempt from
the prior approval requirements of 49
U.S.C. 11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
The earliest this transaction may be
consummated is Friday, December 24,
2021, the effective date of the exemption
(30 days after the verified notice was
filed).
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its statutory
obligation to protect the interests of its
employees. However, 49 U.S.C. 11326(c)
does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under 49 U.S.C. 11324 and
11325 that involve only Class III rail
carriers. Because this transaction
involves Class III rail carriers only, the
Board, under the statute, may not
impose labor protective conditions for
this transaction.
1 The
verified notice states that MIP Rail is wholly
owned by MIP V, which is controlled by MIP GP.
(Verified Notice 1 n.1, 3.)
2 GRYR, formerly known as Illinois Company Rail
Road, LLC (ICRR), operates 228 miles of rail line in
Mississippi pursuant to a lease with the North
Central Mississippi Regional Railroad Authority.
(Verified Notice 2 n.3); see Ill. Co. R.R.—Lease &
Operation Exemption—N. Cent. Miss. Reg’l R.R.
Auth., FD 35940, slip op. at 1 (STB served July 9,
2015) (describing ICRR’s verified notice to lease and
operate an approximately 186.82-mile rail line in
Mississippi). FGA owns and operates 430 miles of
track, including a 373-mile main line, in Florida
and Georgia. (Verified Notice 2 n.3); see RailUSA,
LLC—Continuance in Control Exemption—Fla. Gulf
& Atl. R.R., FD 36248, slip op. at 1 (STB served Dec.
21, 2018).
3 Public and confidential versions of the Purchase
Agreement were filed with the verified notice. The
confidential version was submitted under seal
concurrently with a motion for protective order,
which is addressed in a separate decision.

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 December 17, 2021 (at
least seven days before the exemption
becomes effective).
All pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 36566, should be filed with the
Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In
addition, a copy of each pleading must
be served on MIP GP’s representative,
Terence M. Hynes, Sidley Austin LLP,
1501 K Street NW, Washington, DC
20005.
According to MIP GP, this action is
categorically excluded from
environmental review under 49 CFR
1105.6(c) and from historic preservation
reporting requirements under 49 CFR
1105.8(b).

By this notice, the FHWA is
advising the public of final agency
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A
