SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[File No. 500–1] 

Allixon International Corp.; Order of 

Suspension of Trading 

November 17, 2005. 

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission that the public 

interest and the protection of investors 

require a suspension of trading in the 

securities of Allixon International Corp. 

(‘‘AXCP’’). The Commission is 

concerned that AXCP and/or certain of 

its shareholders may have unjustifiably 

relied on Rule 504 of Regulation D and/ 

or provisions of Regulation S of the 

Securities Act of 1933 (‘‘Securities Act’’) 

in conducting an unlawful distribution 

of AXCP securities that failed to comply 

with the resale restrictions of Rule 144 

and/or Regulation S of the Securities 

Act. AXCP, a company that has made no 

public filings with the Commission or 

the NASD, is quoted on the Pink Sheets, 

under the symbol AXCP, and has been 

the subject of spam e-mail touting the 

company’s shares. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of the above listed 

company. Therefore, it is ordered, 

pursuant to Section 12(k) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that 

trading in the above listed company is 

suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. 

e.s.t. November 17, 2005 through 11:59 

p.m. e.s.t., on December 1, 2005. 

By the Commission. 

Jonathan G. Katz, 

Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statment: 

Sanders and Flathead Counties, MT 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA); Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Rescind notice of intent to 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that the 

FHWA is rescinding the Notice of Intent 

(NOI) to prepare an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) for proposed 

improvements to the Thompson River 

Road (also known as Forest Highway 

56), a county road located near 

Thompson Falls, Montana. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Terri Thomas, Environmental Manager,

Washington 98661–3801. Telephone:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the U.S. 

Forest Service (USFS) and the Montana 

Department of Transportation (MDT), is 

rescinding the NOI published in the 

Federal Register (Volume 67, Number 

236, page 73004–73005) on December 9, 

2002, to prepare an EIS for proposed 

improvements to the Thompson River 

Road (Forest Highway 56) near 

Thompson Falls, Montana. The NOI is 

being rescinded due to social, 

environmental, and political issues 

associated with the proposed 

improvements. These issues include 

problems managing access to properties 

with the elimination of portions of the 

current dual road system, social and 

economic impacts on surrounding 

communities, and the lack of available 

‘‘take’’ of the depleted grizzly bear 

population in the Cabinet-Yaak 

Ecosystem. 

Benefits of the proposed 

improvements identified through public 

comments and preliminary studies 

included potential for improving fish 

and wildlife habitat within the 

Thompson River drainage. The 

proposed improvements included a plan 

to eliminate portions of the dual road 

network, which would potentially 

reduce river sediments and benefit 

recovering bull trout. An additional goal 

was to replace the high-speed logging 

road alignment with a lower-speed 

curvilinear alignment to reduce 

mortality of carnivores and other 

species resulting from vehicle 

collisions. However, the combined 

issues of property access, social and 

economic impacts, and potential 

impacts on the depleted population of 

grizzly bear in the Cabinet-Yaak 

Ecosystem were considered more 

significant than the combined potential 

benefits of the project. Therefore, the 

decision was made to stop the project 

and remove it from the Transportation 

Improvement Plan. 

Notices of the decision were sent to 

all cooperating agencies on October 18, 

2005. A press release was issued on 

October 18, 2005. Public involvement 

meetings were held in Thompson Falls, 

Montana on October 19, 2005, and 

Libby, Montana on October 20, 2005, to 

inform the public of this decision. No 

significant opposition to stopping the 

project was received. 

Comments or questions regarding this 

action should be addressed to the 

FHWA at the address and phone 

number provided above.
