1The Board will grant a stay if an informed 

decision on environmental issues (whether raised

Analysis (OEA) in its independent investigation) 

cannot be made before the exemption’s effective 

date. See Exemption of Out-of-Serv. Rail Lines, 5 

I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any request for a stay should

[Public Notice: 10253] 

E.O. 13224 Designation of Muhammad 

al-Ghazali, aka Rashid, aka Muhammad 

Abd al-Karim al-Ghazali, aka Abu 

Hisham Mawari, aka Abu Hisham alMawari, aka Abu Sa’id, aka Abu Faris, 

as a Specially Designated Global 

Terrorist 

Acting under the authority of and in 

accordance with section 1(b) of 

Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 

2001, as amended by Executive Order 

13268 of July 2, 2002, and Executive 

Order 13284 of January 23, 2003, I 

hereby determine that the person known 

as Muhammad al-Ghazali, aka Rashid, 

aka Muhammad Abd al-Karim alGhazali, aka Abu Hisham Mawari, aka 

Abu Hisham al-Mawari, aka Abu Sa’id, 

aka Abu Faris committed, or poses a 

significant risk of committing, acts of 

terrorism that threatens the security of 

U.S. nationals or the national security, 

foreign policy, or economy of the United 

States. 

Consistent with the determination in 

section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that 

prior notice to persons determined to be 

subject to the Order who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States would render ineffectual the 

blocking and other measures authorized 

in the Order because of the ability to 

transfer funds instantaneously, I 

determine that no prior notice needs to 

be provided to any person subject to this 

determination who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States, because to do so would render 

ineffectual the measures authorized in 

the Order. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register. 

Dated: December 11, 2017.

Secretary of State.

CSX Transportation, Inc.— 

Abandonment Exemption—in Fulton 

County, GA 

CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) has 

filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR part 1152, subpart F— 

Exempt Abandonments to abandon an 

approximately 4.40-mile rail line, 

referred to as the A&WP Subdivision, in 

its Southern Region, Atlanta Division, 

Atlanta Terminal between milepost XXC 

0.0, which begins at the switch to the 

Norfolk Southern Railway Company, 

Oakland Junction near the Ormewood 

Station, and ends at milepost XXC 4.4 

near Glenwood Ave. SE, in the City of 

Atlanta, Fulton County, Ga. (the Line). 

The Line traverses United States Postal 

Zip Codes 30310, 30312, and 30315, and 

includes no stations. 

CSXT has certified that: (1) No local 

rail traffic has moved over the Line 

during the past two years; (2) any 

overhead traffic on the Line can be 

rerouted over other lines; (3) no formal 

complaint filed by a user of a 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 is either pending with the 

Surface Transportation Board (Board) or 

with any U.S. District Court or had been 

decided in favor of a complainant 

within the two-year period; and (4) the 

requirements at 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 of service shall be 

protected under Oregon Short Line 

Railroad—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 February 

8, 2018, 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 must 

be filed by January 19, 2018. Petitions 

to reopen or requests for public use 

conditions under 49 CFR 1152.28 must 

be filed by January 29, 2018, with the 

Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street SW, Washington, DC 20423–

Board should be sent to Louis E. 

Gitomer, Law Offices of Louis E. 

Gitomer, LLC, 600 Baltimore Avenue, 

Suite 301, Towson, MD 21204. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

CSXT 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 

January 12, 2018. Interested persons 

may obtain a copy of the EA by writing 

to OEA (Room 1100, Surface 

Transportation Board, Washington, DC 

20423–0001) or by calling OEA at (202) 

245–0305. Assistance for the hearing 

impaired is available through the 

Federal Information Relay Service at 

(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), 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 January 9, 2019, and 

there are no legal or regulatory barriers 

to consummation, the authority to 

abandon will automatically expire. 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our website at 

‘‘WWW.STB.GOV.’’ 

Decided: January 4, 2018. 

By the Board, Scott M. Zimmerman, Acting 

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.
