AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board,

ACTION: Issuance of Preliminary

Mitigation Plan (PMP), request for

SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation

Board’s (Board) Section of

Environmental Analysis (SEA) will

issue the Preliminary Mitigation Plan

(PMP) for the Wichita, KS Mitigation

Study on September 15, 1997, for public

review and comment. On August 12,

1996, in Decision No. 44, the Board

approved the Union Pacific/Southern

Pacific merger. As part of its approval,

the Board directed SEA to conduct a

mitigation study to develop additional

tailored environmental mitigation

measures (beyond those already

imposed in Decision No. 44) to address

unique local conditions in Wichita and

Sedgwick County regarding the

potential environmental impacts of

increased rail traffic. The preliminary

results of this study and SEA’s

preliminary recommendations for

additional environmental mitigation

measures are reflected in the PMP. SEA

encourages public comments on the

PMP during the 30-day review period,

which will end on October 15, 1997.

SEA will distribute copies of the PMP

to interested parties. In addition, copies

of the report will be available at the

Wichita and Sedgwick County Library

and Wichita State University Library, or

by request by calling (202) 565–1530.

SEA will hold a public information

meeting on September 30, 1997, to

provide the public with an opportunity

to comment on the PMP and receive

additional information. SEA will

consider all public comments and issue

a Final Mitigation Plan (FMP) for public

review and comment. Based on the

PMP, FMP, and public comments, SEA

will then make its final

recommendations to the Board. The

meeting will be held in the Mary Jane

Teall Theater at the Century II

Convention Center in Wichita. The

meeting will include an informal open

house from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and

a formal public meeting beginning at
