Various provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act require rail carriers and noncarriers to file applications with the Board to seek licensing authority to construct or abandon a line of railroad, transfer rights in a line of railroad, or consolidate ownership in a railroad through a merger or common-control arrangement under 49 U.S.C. §§ 10901-05 and 11323, or to obtain an exemption (through a petition or notice) from filing such an application under 49 U.S.C. § 10502.
