17088 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 64 / Tuesday, April 4, 1995 / Notices

1 By letter dated March 20, 1995, the Bradys

Bend Corporation (BBC) filed a comment opposing

the proposed abandonment and requests that we

deny B&LE’s exemption. BBC alleges that because

of the potential for future traffic, it believes that

B&LE’s rail line should remain operational.

We do not normally consider comments prior to

the publication of a notice of exemption under 49

CFR 1152.50(b). Here, BBC can file a petition to stay

and/or a petition to reopen or revoke on or before

the dates specified in this notice. BBC should

clearly set out the relief it seeks and any supporting

arguments for such relief. Speculation about future

traffic is not sufficient basis upon which to deny an

exemption.

2A stay will be issued routinely by the

Commission in those proceedings where an

informed decision on environmental issues

(whether raised by a party or by the Commission’s

Section of Environmental Analysis in its

independent investigation) cannot be made prior to

the effective date of the notice of exemption. See

Exemption of Out-of-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d

377 (1989). Any entity seeking a stay involving

environmental concerns is encouraged to file its

request as soon as possible in order to permit the

Commission to review and act on the request prior

to the effective date of this exemption.

3See Exempt. of Rail Abandonment—Offers of

Finan. Assist., 4 I.C.C.2d 164 (1987).

4The Commission will accept a late-filed trail use

request as long as it retains jurisdiction to do so.

COMMISSION

[Docket No. AB–88 (Sub-No. 7X)]

Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad

Company; Abandonment Exemption;

in Armstrong and Butler Counties, PA

Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad

Company (B&LE) has filed a notice of

exemption under 49 CFR 1152 Subpart

F—Exempt Abandonments to abandon

3.13 miles of its line of railroad, known

as the Western Allegheny Branch,

extending from Station 2294+53

eastward to the end of the track at

Station 2460+01, in Armstrong and

Butler Counties, PA.1

B&LE has certified that: (1) No local

traffic has moved over the line for at

least 2 years; (2) no overhead traffic has

moved 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

Commission or with any U.S. District

Court or has been decided in favor of

the 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 use of this

exemption, any employee 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. 10505(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 May 4,

1995, 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 4 must be filed by April 14,

1995. Petitions to reopen or requests for

public use conditions under 49 CFR

1152.28 must be filed by April 24, 1995,

with: Office of the Secretary, Case

Control Branch, Interstate Commerce

Commission, Washington, DC 20423.

A copy of any pleading filed with the

Commission should be sent to

applicant’s representative: Robert J.

Koch, 135 Jamison Lane, P.O. Box 68,

Monroeville, PA 15146.

If the notice of exemption contains

false or misleading information, the

exemption is void ab initio.

B&LE has filed an environmental

report which addresses the effects of the

abandonment, if any, on the

environment and historic resources. The

Commission’s Section of Environmental

Analysis (SEA) will issue an

environmental assessment (EA) by April

7, 1995. Interested persons may obtain

a copy of the EA by writing to SEA

(Room 3219, Interstate Commerce

Commission, Washington, DC 20423) or

by calling Elaine Kaiser, Chief of SEA,

at (202) 927–6248. Comments on

environmental and historic preservation

matters must be filed within 15 days

after the EA is available to the public.

Environmental, historic preservation,

public use, or trail use/rail banking

conditions will be imposed, where

appropriate, in a subsequent decision.

Decided: March 29, 1995.

By the Commission, David M. Konschnik,

Director, Office of Proceedings.

Vernon A. Williams,

Secretary.

sizes, from plantations and estates to

small-sized farms; in forest industries,

industries directly or indirectly

contributing to exports.

laws, new programs or approaches for

curtailing child labor, oversight efforts,

or other relevant initiatives.

to reduce child labor. Private-sector

programs or policies to reduce child

labor, including codes of conduct,

for subcontractors, or the creation of

schools, centers, organizations, studies,

and other approaches to limit child

labor.

5. Updates and new developments.

Significant actions taken by the 19

countries reviewed in the first report,
