    Willamette & Pacific Railroad, Inc. (WPRR), a Class III railroad, has filed a notice to extend and amend its lease with Union Pacific Railroad Company. The lease covers several Oregon rail line segments totaling about 161 miles. WPRR will continue as the operator and says its revenue from this transaction will not change its Class III status. The exemption's effective date depends on WPRR’s request to waive labor notice requirements; decisions will be made later.
