76004 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 234 / Tuesday, December 5, 2000 / Notices

Any OFA with respect to the lines

should be filed in the pertinent Conrail

application proceeding under section

308(d) of the 3–R Act and 49 CFR

1152.27. Each OFA must be

accompanied by a $1,000 filing fee. See

49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).

All filings in response to this notice

must refer to STB Docket No. AB–290

(Sub-No. 212X) 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) James R. Paschall, Norfolk

Southern Railway Company, Three

Commercial Place, Norfolk, VA 23510.

Replies to the NS petition are due on or

before December 26, 2000.

Persons seeking further information

concerning abandonment and

discontinuance procedures may contact

the Board’s Office of Public Services at

(202) 565–1592 or refer to the full

abandonment or discontinuance

regulations at 49 CFR part 1152.

An environmental assessment (or

impact statement) is normally made

available in abandonment or

discontinuance proceedings, but under

49 CFR 1105.6(d), the Board may

modify the environmental requirements

in appropriate circumstances. The

requirements are being modified here.

NS has never conducted operations over

the line apart from those Conrail

conducted on NS’s behalf. Granting a

carrier authority to discontinue service

it has never provided appears to have no

environmental impact. The requirement

that the carrier submit a report and that

the Board prepare an analysis are

therefore superfluous.

Board decisions and notices are

available on our website at

‘‘www.stb.dot.gov.’’

Decided: November 28, 2000.

By the Board, David M. Konschnik,

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Vernon A. Williams,

Secretary.
