of the lines, KSW would continue to be the operator over the lines.
The transaction was expected to be consummated on or shortly after

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 does not automatically stay the transaction.

Board, Office of the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K Street, NW,
