1 The Board will grant a stay if an informed

decision on environmental issues (whether raised

by a party or by the Board’s Section of

Environmental Analysis in its independent

investigation) cannot be made before the

exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any

accompanied by the filing fee, which currently is

set at $900. See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).

3The Board will accept late-filed trail use

requests as long as the abandonment has not been

consummated and the abandoning railroad is

willing to negotiate an agreement.

4This is the Board’s address after March 16, 1997.

CSX Transportation, Inc.—

Abandonment Exemption—in Logan

County, WV

CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) has

filed a notice of exemption under 49

CFR part 1152 Subpart F—Exempt

Abandonments to abandon

approximately 10.83-miles of its line of

railroad between milepost CLF–51.76 at

Sharples and milepost CLF–62.59 at

Kelly, in Logan County, WV.

CSXT has certified that: (1) No local

traffic has moved over the line for at

least 2 years; (2) there is no overhead

traffic moving over 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

(environmental reports), 49 CFR 1105.8

(historic reports), 49 CFR 1105.11

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12

(newspaper publication), and 49 CFR

1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental

agencies) have been met.

As a condition to this exemption, any

employee adversely affected by the

abandonment shall be protected under

Oregon Short Line R. Co.—

Abandonment—Goshen, 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 23,

1997, unless stayed pending

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do

not involve environmental issues,1

formal expressions of intent to file an

OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),2 and

trail use/rail banking requests under 49

CFR 1152.29 3 must be filed by April 3,

1997. Petitions to reopen or requests for

public use conditions under 49 CFR

1152.28 must be filed by April 14, 1997,

with: Office of the Secretary, Case

Control Unit, Surface Transportation

Board, 1925 K Street, N.W., Washington,

A copy of any petition filed with the

Board should be sent to applicant’s

representative: Charles M. Rosenberger,

Senior Counsel, CSX Transportation,

Inc., 500 Water Street J150, Jacksonville,

FL 32202.

If the verified notice contains false or

misleading information, the exemption

is void ab initio.

CSXT has filed an environmental

report which addresses the

abandonment’s effects, if any, on the

environment and historic resources. The

Section of Environmental Analysis

(SEA) will issue an environmental

assessment (EA) by March 28, 1997.

Interested persons may obtain a copy of

the EA by writing to SEA (Room 500,

Surface Transportation Board,

Washington, DC 20423) or by calling

SEA, at (202) 565–1545. 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), CSXT 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

CSXT’s filing of a notice of

consummation by March 28, 1998, and

there are no legal or regulatory barriers

to consummation, the authority to

abandon will automatically expire.

Decided: March 14, 1997.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
