identification numbers of any person domiciled in or corporation

organized under the laws of such country,

shall be recognized with the same effect as having been filed under

this section.

(e) Interests with respect to which documents are filed or

recognized under this section are deemed perfected in all

jurisdictions, and shall be governed by applicable State or foreign

law in all matters not specifically governed by this section.

Sec. 11321. Scope of authority

-STATUTE-

(a) The authority of the Board under this subchapter is

exclusive. A rail carrier or corporation participating in or

resulting from a transaction approved by or exempted by the Board

under this subchapter may carry out the transaction, own and

operate property, and exercise control or franchises acquired

through the transaction without the approval of a State authority.

A rail carrier, corporation, or person participating in that

approved or exempted transaction is exempt from the antitrust laws

and from all other law, including State and municipal law, as

necessary to let that rail carrier, corporation, or person carry

out the transaction, hold, maintain, and operate property, and

exercise control or franchises acquired through the transaction.

However, if a purchase and sale, a lease, or a corporate

consolidation or merger is involved in the transaction, the carrier

or corporation may carry out the transaction only with the assent

of a majority, or the number required under applicable State law,

of the votes of the holders of the capital stock of that

corporation entitled to vote. The vote must occur at a regular

meeting, or special meeting called for that purpose, of those

stockholders and the notice of the meeting must indicate its

purpose.

(b) A power granted under this subchapter to a carrier or

corporation is in addition to and changes its powers under its

corporate charter and under State law. Action under this subchapter

does not establish or provide for establishing a corporation under

the laws of the United States.

with another of those rail carriers to pool or divide traffic or

services or any part of their earnings without the approval of the

may approve and authorize the agreement or combination if the rail

carriers involved assent to the pooling or division and the Board

of economy of operation; and

(2) will not unreasonably restrain competition.

(b) The Board may impose conditions governing the pooling or

division and may approve and authorize payment of a reasonable

consideration between the rail carriers.

(c) The Board may begin a proceeding under this section on its

own initiative or on application.

-STATUTE-

(a) The following transactions involving rail carriers providing

transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Board under this

part may be carried out only with the approval and authorization of

the Board:

(1) Consolidation or merger of the properties or franchises of

at least 2 rail carriers into one corporation for the ownership,

management, and operation of the previously separately owned

properties.

(2) A purchase, lease, or contract to operate property of

another rail carrier by any number of rail carriers.

(3) Acquisition of control of a rail carrier by any number of

rail carriers.

(4) Acquisition of control of at least 2 rail carriers by a

person that is not a rail carrier.

(5) Acquisition of control of a rail carrier by a person that

carriers.

(6) Acquisition by a rail carrier of trackage rights over, or

joint ownership in or joint use of, a railroad line (and

terminals incidental to it) owned or operated by another rail

carrier.

(b) A person may carry out a transaction referred to in

subsection (a) of this section or participate in achieving the

control or management, including the power to exercise control or

management, in a common interest of more than one of those rail

carriers, regardless of how that result is reached, only with the

approval and authorization of the Board under this subchapter. In

addition to other transactions, each of the following transactions

are considered achievements of control or management:

(1) A transaction by a rail carrier that has the effect of

putting that rail carrier and person affiliated with it, taken

together, in control of another rail carrier.

(2) A transaction by a person affiliated with a rail carrier

that has the effect of putting that rail carrier and persons

affiliated with it, taken together, in control of another rail

carrier.

(3) A transaction by at least 2 persons acting together (one of

whom is a rail carrier or is affiliated with a rail carrier) that

has the effect of putting those persons and rail carriers and

persons affiliated with any of them, or with any of those

affiliated rail carriers, taken together, in control of another

rail carrier.

(c) A person is affiliated with a rail carrier under this

subchapter if, because of the relationship between that person and

a rail carrier, it is reasonable to believe that the affairs of

another rail carrier, control of which may be acquired by that

person, will be managed in the interest of the other rail carrier.

Sec. 11324. Consolidation, merger, and acquisition of control:

conditions of approval

-STATUTE-

(a) The Board may begin a proceeding to approve and authorize a

transaction referred to in section 11323 of this title on

application of the person seeking that authority. When an

application is filed with the Board, the Board shall notify the

chief executive officer of each State in which property of the rail

carriers involved in the proposed transaction is located and shall

notify those rail carriers. The Board shall hold a public hearing

unless the Board determines that a public hearing is not necessary

in the public interest.

(b) In a proceeding under this section which involves the merger

or control of at least two Class I railroads, as defined by the

Board, the Board shall consider at least -

(1) the effect of the proposed transaction on the adequacy of

transportation to the public;

(2) the effect on the public interest of including, or failing

to include, other rail carriers in the area involved in the

proposed transaction;

(3) the total fixed charges that result from the proposed

transaction;

(4) the interest of rail carrier employees affected by the

proposed transaction; and

(5) whether the proposed transaction would have an adverse

effect on competition among rail carriers in the affected region

or in the national rail system.

(c) The Board shall approve and authorize a transaction under

this section when it finds the transaction is consistent with the

public interest. The Board may impose conditions governing the

transaction, including the divestiture of parallel tracks or

requiring the granting of trackage rights and access to other

facilities. Any trackage rights and related conditions imposed to

alleviate anticompetitive effects of the transaction shall provide

for operating terms and compensation levels to ensure that such

effects are alleviated. When the transaction contemplates a

guaranty or assumption of payment of dividends or of fixed charges

or will result in an increase of total fixed charges, the Board may

approve and authorize the transaction only if it finds that the

guaranty, assumption, or increase is consistent with the public

interest. The Board may require inclusion of other rail carriers

located in the area involved in the transaction if they apply for

inclusion and the Board finds their inclusion to be consistent with

the public interest.

(d) In a proceeding under this section which does not involve the

merger or control of at least two Class I railroads, as defined by

the Board, the Board shall approve such an application unless it

finds that -

(1) as a result of the transaction, there is likely to be

substantial lessening of competition, creation of a monopoly, or

restraint of trade in freight surface transportation in any

region of the United States; and

(2) the anticompetitive effects of the transaction outweigh the

public interest in meeting significant transportation needs.

In making such findings, the Board shall, with respect to any

application that is part of a plan or proposal developed under

section 333(a)-(d) of this title, accord substantial weight to any

recommendations of the Attorney General.

(e) No transaction described in section 11326(b) may have the

effect of avoiding a collective bargaining agreement or shifting

work from a rail carrier with a collective bargaining agreement to

a rail carrier without a collective bargaining agreement.

(f)(1) To the extent provided in this subsection, a proceeding

under this subchapter relating to a transaction involving at least

one Class I rail carrier shall not be considered an adjudication

required by statute to be determined on the record after

opportunity for an agency hearing, for the purposes of subchapter

II of chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code.

(2) Ex parte communications, as defined in section 551(14) of

title 5, United States Code, shall be permitted in proceedings

described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, subject to the

requirements of paragraph (3) of this subsection.

(3)(A) Any member or employee of the Board who makes or receives

a written ex parte communication concerning the merits of a

proceeding described in paragraph (1) shall promptly place the

communication in the public docket of the proceeding.

(B) Any member or employee of the Board who makes or receives an

oral ex parte communication concerning the merits of a proceeding

described in paragraph (1) shall promptly place a written summary

of the oral communication in the public docket of the proceeding.

(4) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require the

Board or any of its members or employees to engage in any ex parte

communication with any person. Nothing in this subsection or any

other law shall be construed to limit the authority of the members

or employees of the Board, in their discretion, to note in the

docket or otherwise publicly the occurrence and substance of an ex

parte communication.

involving rail carriers

-STATUTE-

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, when approval

is sought for a transaction under sections 11324 and 11325 of this

title, the Board shall require the rail carrier to provide a fair

arrangement at least as protective of the interests of employees

who are affected by the transaction as the terms imposed under

section 5(2)(f) of the Interstate Commerce Act before February 5,

1976, and the terms established under section 24706(c) (!1) of this

title. Notwithstanding this part, the arrangement may be made by

the rail carrier and the authorized representative of its

employees. The arrangement and the order approving the transaction

must require that the employees of the affected rail carrier will

not be in a worse position related to their employment as a result

of the transaction during the 4 years following the effective date

of the final action of the Board (or if an employee was employed

for a lesser period of time by the rail carrier before the action

became effective, for that lesser period).

(b) When approval is sought under sections 11324 and 11325 for a

transaction involving one Class II and one or more Class III rail

carriers, there shall be an arrangement as required under

subsection (a) of this section, except that such arrangement shall

be limited to one year of severance pay, which shall not exceed the

amount of earnings from the railroad employment of that employee

during the 12-month period immediately preceding the date on which

the application for approval of such transaction is filed with the

Board. The amount of such severance pay shall be reduced by the

amount of earnings from railroad employment of that employee with

the acquiring carrier during the 12-month period immediately

following the effective date of the transaction. The parties may

agree to terms other than as provided in this subsection.

(c) When approval is sought under sections 11324 and 11325 for a

transaction involving only Class III rail carriers, this section

shall not apply.
