U.S.-flag vessels. If MARAD determines, 

in accordance with 46 U.S.C. 12121 and 

MARAD’s regulations at 46 CFR part 

388, that the issuance of the waiver will 

have an unduly adverse effect on a 

U.S.-vessel builder or a business that 

uses U.S.-flag vessels in that business, a 

waiver will not be granted. Comments 

should refer to the docket number of 

this notice and the vessel name in order 

for MARAD to properly consider the 

comments. Comments should also state 

the commenter’s interest in the waiver 

application, and address the waiver 

criteria given in § 388.4 of MARAD’s 

regulations at 46 CFR part 388.

Arkansas Midland Railroad Company,

Phillips County, AK 

Arkansas Midland Railroad Company, 

Inc. (AKMD) filed a verified notice of 

exemption under 49 CFR part 1152 

subpart F–Exempt Abandonments to 

abandon an approximately 2.66-mile 

rail line known as the West Helena 

Industrial Lead extending from milepost 

0.00 to milepost 2.66 at the end of the 

track, in Phillips County, Ark. The line 

traverses United States Postal Service 

Zip Codes 72342 and 72390. 

AKMD has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) there is no overhead 

traffic on the line; (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(c)

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12

As a condition to this exemption, any 

employee adversely affected by the 

abandonment shall be protected under 

Oregon Short Line—Abandonment 

Portion Goshen Branch Between Firth & 

Ammon, in Bingham & Bonneville 

Counties, Idaho, 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 April 20, 

2012, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues,1

representative: Jeremy M. Berman, 

Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North Wacker 

Drive, Suite 920, Chicago, IL 60606–

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

AKMD has filed a combined 

environmental and historic report that 

addresses the effects, if any, of the 

abandonment on the environment and 

historic resources. OEA will issue an 

environmental assessment (EA) by 

March 26, 2012. Interested persons may 

obtain a copy of the EA by writing to 

OEA (Room 1100, Surface 

Transportation Board, Washington, DC

impaired is available through the 

Federal Information Relay Service 

(FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339. Comments 

on environmental and historic 

preservation matters must be filed 

within 15 days after the EA becomes 

available to the public. 

Environmental, historic preservation, 

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), AKMD shall file a notice 

of consummation with the Board to 

signify that it has exercised the 

authority granted and fully abandoned 

the line. If consummation has not been 

effected by AKMD’s filing of a notice of 

consummation by March 21, 2013, and 

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire.
