1The ICC Termination Act of 1995, Public Law

104–88, 109 Stat. 803 (the Act), which was enacted

on December 29, 1995, and took effect on January

1, 1996, abolished the Interstate Commerce

Commission (ICC) and transferred certain functions

and proceedings to the Surface Transportation

legislation shall be decided under the law in effect

prior to January 1, 1996, insofar as they involve

functions retained by the Act. This notice relates to

a proceeding that was pending with the ICC prior

to January 1, 1996, and to functions that are subject

to Board jurisdiction pursuant to section 49 U.S.C.

10901. Therefore, this notice applies the law in

effect prior to the Act, and citations are to the

former section of the statute, unless otherwise

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Surface Transportation Board 1

[Finance Docket No. 32530]

Kansas City Southern Railway

Company—Construction and

Operation Exemption—Geismar

Industrial Area Near Gonzales and

Sorrento, Louisiana

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board,

DOT.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time for

comment period for draft environmental

impact statement (EIS).

SUMMARY: The Kansas City Southern

Railway Company (KCS) applied to the

Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC),

now the Surface Transportation Board

(Board), for authority to construct and

operate an 8.62-mile rail line from the

Geismar Industrial area to its mainline

near Gonzales and Sorrento, in

Ascension Parish, Louisiana. On July

16, 1997, the Board’s Section of

Environmental Analysis (SEA) issued a

draft EIS. Consistent with Council on

Environmental Quality (CEQ)

regulations for implementing the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA), SEA provided a 45-day

comment period for the public review of

the draft EIS, with comments due by

September 8, 1997.

In response to several requests to

extend the comment period an

additional 60 days, SEA granted a 15-

day extension for filing comments to

September 23, 1997.

The Concerned Citizens of Ascension

Parish (CCAP) filed an Appeal of SEA’s

decision and requested the full 60 days

sought in their original request. As

stated in the original extension decision,

SEA believes that the 45-day comment

period specified by CEQ guidelines is

sufficient in this case. However, in order

to allow every opportunity for public

input into the Board’s NEPA process in

this case, SEA will accept comments to

the draft EIS for an additional 14 days

past the current due date of September

23, 1997. Comments to the draft EIS will

now be due on October 7, 1997.

If you wish to file comments on the

draft EIS, send an original and 10 copies

to: Vernon A. Williams, Secretary,

Surface Transportation Board, Suite

700, 1925 K Street, NW, Washington,

DC 20423. Mark the lower left corner of

Dalton, Environmental Comments,
