2Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which currently is set at $1,300. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25).

traffic has moved over the line for at 

least 2 years; (2) there is no overhead 

traffic on the line to be rerouted; (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
