2 In a separate decision in this proceeding, served on December 19, 2003, the Board granted PAV's petition for a waiver of the Board's 60-day notice requirements at 49 CFR 1150.32(e). This proceeding is related to the bankruptcy proceeding In re: Republic Engineered Product Holdings, LLC et al., Case Nos: 03-55118, 03-55120, and 03-55121 and jointly administered as Case No. 03-55118.

The transaction was scheduled to be consummated on or after December 22, 2003 (7 days after the exemption was filed).

If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the 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 will not automatically stay the transaction.
