Almanor Railroad Company (AL) filed 

a notice of exemption under 49 CFR 

1152 Subpart F—Exempt 

Abandonments to abandon a 12.3-mile 

line of railroad between milepost 0.0 in 

Chester, and milepost 12.3 near Clear 

Creek, in Plumas and Lassen Counties, 

CA. The line traverses United States 

Postal Service Zip Code 96020. 

AL has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has been handled to or from any 

customer over the rail line for at least 2 

years; (2) any overhead traffic on the 

line can be rerouted over other lines; (3) 

no formal complaint filed by a user of 

rail service on the line (or by a state or 

local government entity acting on behalf 

of such user) regarding cessation of 

service over the line either is pending 

with the Board or with any U.S. District 

Court or has been decided in favor of 

complainant within the 2-year period; 

and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 

1105.7 (environmental report), 49 CFR 

1105.8 (historic report), 49 CFR 1105.11 

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12 

(newspaper publication), and 49 CFR 

1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental 

agencies) have been met. 

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

abandonment shall be protected under 

Oregon Short Line R. Co.— 

Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 

(1979). To address whether this 

condition adequately protects affected 

employees, a petition for partial 

revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

must be filed. 

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, this 

exemption will be effective on March 

11, 2010, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues,1

OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),2 and 

trail use/rail banking requests under 49

Board should be sent to AL’s 

representative: Fritz R. Kahn, Fritz R. 

Kahn, P.C., 1920 N Street, NW., 8th 

Floor, Washington, DC 20036. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

AL has filed environmental and 

historic reports which address the 

effects, if any, of the abandonment on 

the environment and historic resources. 

SEA will issue an environmental 

assessment (EA) by February 12, 2010. 

Interested persons may obtain a copy of 

the EA by writing to SEA (Room 1100, 

Surface Transportation Board, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001) or by

available through the Federal 

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–

environmental and historic preservation 

matters must be filed within 15 days 

after the EA becomes available to the 

public.

public use, or trail use/rail banking 

conditions will be imposed, where 

appropriate, in a subsequent decision. 

Pursuant to the provisions of 49 CFR 

1152.29(e)(2), AL shall file a notice of 

consummation with the Board to signify 

that it has exercised the authority
