Authority from the requirements that it

post and publish notice of its

application and certify that it has done

other than the carrier whose operations

are the object of the discontinuance.

DATES: The exemption will take effect

on April 23, 1996. Petitions to reopen

must be filed by May 3, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Jacksonville Port Authority (JPA) has

filed an application seeking a

determination by the Board that the

public convenience and necessity

require or permit the discontinuance of

service by Jaxport Terminal Railway

Company (JTRC) over approximately 10

miles of terminal switching tracks that

JPA owns and that connect its

Talleyrand Marine Dock and Terminal

Facilities in Jacksonville, FL, with the

tracks of line-haul carriers. The fact that

the application has been filed by a party

other than the carrier whose operations

are the subject of the discontinuance has

led JPA to seek a waiver of the

requirement that it post and publish

notice of its application. Also, JPA is

unable to require JTRC to file a system

diagram map (SDM). Accordingly, JPA

seeks exemption from the provisions of

49 U.S.C. 10903(a)(3) (B), (C), and (E),

which require, respectively posting of a

copy of a notice of the application in

terminals and stations, publishing a

copy of the notice in newspapers for

specified periods, and certifying that it

has satisfied these requirements. JPA

also seeks exemption from the

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10903(c), which

require carriers to submit to the Board

an SDM identifying each line for which

the carrier plans to file a discontinuance

application.

The Board is granting the exemption,

finding that compliance with the statute

is not required to carry out the rail

transportation policy of 49 U.S.C.

10101, the matter is of limited scope,

and strict adherence to the statutory

requirements is not needed to protect

shippers from the abuse of market

power. The Board is also granting JPA

a waiver of certain regulatory

requirements relating to (1) the

submission of service, financial and

environmental information and (2) the

notice and SDM matters discussed

above.

Additional information is contained

in the Board’s decision, in which the

Board also declined to institute an

investigation into the proposed

discontinuance. To purchase a copy of

the full decision, write to, call, or pick

up in person from: DC News & Data,

Inc., 1201 Constitution Avenue, NW.,

Decided: April 16, 1996.

By the Board, Chairman Morgan, Vice

Chairman Simmons, and Commissioner

Owen.
