44514 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 162 / Thursday, August 21, 1997 / Notices

1OFAs to acquire the line for continued rail

service, public use and trail use requests, and

environmental reporting requirements do not apply

when only a discontinuance is sought. Under the

circumstance described by Conrail, an OFA to

subsidize continued service over the line would

appear to be inconsistent with local construction

plans, but Conrail has not sought an exemption

from the applicable provisions of section 10904.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Surface Transportation Board

[STB Docket No. AB–167 (Sub-No. 1179X)]

Consolidated Rail Corporation—

Discontinuance Exemption—in Suffolk

County, MA

On July 31, 1997, Consolidated Rail

Corporation (Conrail) filed with the

Surface Transportation Board (Board) a

petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502 for

exemption from the provisions of 49

U.S.C. 10903 to discontinue, for a

period of approximately 3 years, all rail

transportation over a line of railroad

known as the Boston Terminal Running

Track (also sometimes known as ‘‘Track

61’’), lying between the west side of

Summer Street at approximately

railroad milepost 0.85 and the end of

the track at Boston Harbor Pier, a

distance of approximately 0.50 mile,

traversing U.S. Postal Service ZIP Code

02127, in the City of Boston, Suffolk

County, MA.

The right-of-way and track on this

line are owned and maintained by the

Massachusetts Port Authority and

operated by Conrail. The Massachusetts

Highway Department has requested

Conrail to seek authority to discontinue

service over the line for a period of

approximately 3 years, to facilitate

construction of a portion of the Central

Artery/Tunnel highway project,

including the South Boston Interchange.

After the projected completion of this

project in July 2000, the line will have

been restored to operating condition,

and Conrail will be able to resume

common carrier rail freight service on

the line. Pending issuance of a decision

in this matter, Conrail has placed an

embargo on the line.

Conrail states that it does not believe

that this line contains any federally

granted rights-of-way. To the extent

there may be any documentation in

Conrail’s possession in this regard, it

will be made available promptly to

those requesting it.

The interest of railroad employees

will be protected by the conditions set

forth in Oregon Short Line R.

Company—Abandonment—Goshen, 360

I.C.C. 91 (1979).

By issuance of this notice, the Board

is instituting an exemption proceeding

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final

decision will be issued by November 18,

1997.

Any offer of financial assistance

(OFA) to subsidize continued rail

service 1 under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2)

will be due no later than 10 days after

service of a decision granting the

petition for exemption. Each offer of

financial assistance must be

accompanied by the filing fee, which is

currently set at $900. See 49 CFR

1002.2(f)(25).

All filings in response to this notice

must refer to STB Docket No. AB–167

(Sub-No. 1179X) and must be sent to: (1)

Surface Transportation Board, Office of

the Secretary, Case Control Unit, 1925 K

Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20423–

0001; and (2) John J. Paylor, 2001

Market Street—16A, Philadelphia, PA

19101–1416.

Persons seeking further information

concerning abandonment or

discontinuance procedures may contact

(202) 565–1592 or refer to the full

abandonment or discontinuance

regulations at 49 CFR part 1152.

Questions concerning environmental
