SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In their application filed June 13, 1994, 
applicants sought a determination that BN's ownership and operation of 
PBI do not violate the provisions of the Panama Canal Act. The 
application also sought approval of BN's continued ownership of PBI in 
view of the anticipated expansion of PBI's water carrier operations in 
Mexico. Notice of the application, served and published September 16, 
1994 (59 FR 47641), called for comments to the application by October 
17, 1994 and replies by November 7, 1994. BN states that it is 
withdrawing the application in view of a number of intervening 
developments, including the proposed merger of Burlington Northern Inc. 
and Santa Fe Pacific Corporation.

    Decided: September 28, 1994.

    By the Commission, Vernon A. Williams, Acting Secretary.
