Central Railroad Company of

Central Railroad Company of 

Indianapolis (CERA) 1 has filed a 

verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1152 Subpart F-Exempt 

Abandonments to abandon 5.18 miles of 

rail line, consisting of 2.38 miles 

between milepost 181.26 and milepost

Kokomo line segment), and 2.8 miles 

between milepost 51.5 and milepost 

54.3, on CERA’s Tipton Industrial Lead 

(South Kokomo line segment), in 

Howard County, IN. The line traverses 

United States Postal Service Zip Codes 

46901 and 46902. 

CERA has certified that: (1) No local 

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic on 

the line can be rerouted over other lines; 

(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 report), 49 CFR 

1105.8 (historic report), 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 29, 

2009, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do 

not involve environmental issues,2

formal expressions of intent to file an 

OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),3 and 

trail use/rail banking requests under 49 

CFR 1152.29 must be filed by April 9, 

2009. Petitions to reopen or requests for 

public use conditions under 49 CFR 

1152.28 must be filed by April 20, 2009, 

with the Surface Transportation Board, 

395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 

20423–0001. 

A copy of any petition filed with the 

Board should be sent to CERA’s 

representative: Melanie B. Yasbin, Law 

offices of Louis E. Gitomer, 600 

Baltimore Avenue, Suite 301, Towson, 

MD 21204–4022. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

CERA has filed a combined 

environmental and historic report that 

addresses the effects, if any, of the 

abandonment on the environment and 

historic resources. SEA will issue an 

environmental assessment (EA) by April 

3, 2009. Interested persons may obtain 

a copy of the EA by writing to SEA 

(Room 1100, Surface Transportation 

Board, Washington, DC 20423–0001) or 

by calling SEA, at (202) 245–0305. 

[Assistance for the hearing 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), CERA 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 

CERA’s filing of a notice of 

consummation by March 30, 2010, and 

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire.
