45916 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 168 / Friday, August 29, 1997 / Notices

1Pursuant to 49 CFR 1150.50(d)(2), the railroad

must file a verified notice with the Board at least

50 days before the abandonment or discontinuance

is to be consummated. The applicant in its verified

notice, indicated a proposed consummation date of

September 29, 1997. However, because the verified

notice was filed on August 11, 1997, consummation

should not have been proposed to take place prior

to September 30, 1997. Applicant’s representative

has been contacted and has confirmed that the

correct consummation date is on or after September

30, 1997.

abandon an approximately 3.30-mile

The line traverses United States Postal

Service Zip Codes 03842, 03844 and

03874.

B&M has certified that: (1) No local

traffic has moved over the line for at

least 2 years; (2) overhead traffic has

been 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

Surface Transportation Board (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 reports), 49 CFR 1105.8

(historic reports), 49 CFR 1105.11

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12

of its request, W&LE states that the almost $130,000

on this line is vital to its short-term viability. If the

record supports an abandonment, we will attempt

to accommodate W&LE’s request.

the petition, but SEA will attempt to issue the EA

earlier in an effort to accommodate W&LE’s request
