By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into
between the Enforcement Bureau and BNSF Railway Company ("BNSF"). The
Consent Decree terminates an investigation by the Bureau of BNSF's
compliance with Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, relating to assignments of licenses, and Section 1.17 of the
Commission's Rules, relating to truthful statements to the Commission.
2. The Bureau and BNSF have negotiated the terms of the Consent Decree
that resolve this matter. A copy of the Consent Decree is attached
hereto and incorporated by reference.
3. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the
facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by
adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the investigation.
4. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we
conclude that our investigation raises no substantial or material
questions of fact as to whether BNSF possesses the basic
qualifications, including those related to character, to hold or
obtain any Commission license or authorization.
5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Act,
and Sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's Rules, the Consent
Decree attached to this Order IS ADOPTED.
6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned investigation IS
TERMINATED.
