the purposes of the Act. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings

first file a formal expression of intent to file an 

offer, indicating the type of financial assistance they 

wish to provide (i.e., subsidy or purchase) and 

demonstrating that they are preliminarily 

financially responsible. See 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2)(i).

op. at 1 n.2 (STB served Oct. 18, 2012) (‘‘Even if 

the abandonment is eligible for a class exemption, 

if a petitioner also seeks exemptions that must be 

ruled upon by the entire Board, the better practice 

is to file one petition for exemption seeking both 

the abandonment and any other requested 

exemptions.’’). 

3The Board will grant a stay if an informed 

decision on environmental issues (whether raised 

by a party or by the Board’s Office of Environmental 

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 

be filed as soon as possible so that the Board may 

take appropriate action before the exemption’s 

effective date. 

4Filing fees for OFAs and trail use requests can 

be found at 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25) and (27),

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. AB 1094X] 

City of Los Angeles—Abandonment 

Exemption—in Los Angeles County, 

Cal. 

The City of Los Angeles (the City) has 

filed a verified notice of exemption 

under 49 CFR part 1152 subpart F— 

Exempt Abandonments to abandon a 

2.6-mile portion of a rail line known as 

the San Pedro Subdivision extending 

from milepost 4.00 (north of Front Street 

and east of the Gaffey Street Lead) to the 

end of the line at milepost 6.60 in Los 

Angeles County, Cal. (the Line). The 

Line traverses U.S. Postal Service Zip 

Code 90731. 

The City has certified that: (1) No 

local traffic has moved over the Line for 

at least two years; (2) no overhead traffic 

will need to be rerouted because the 

Line is stub-ended; (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 

Surface Transportation Board (Board) or 

with any U.S. District Court or has been 

decided in favor of a complainant 

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

requirements of 49 CFR 1105.7 and 

1105.8 (notice of environmental and 

historic reports), 49 CFR 1105.9 (Coastal 

Zone Management Act), 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 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,1 the 

exemption will be effective on July 7, 

2021, unless stayed pending 

reconsideration. The City 

simultaneously has filed in this 

proceeding a petition for exemption 

from the OFA provisions at 49 U.S.C. 

10904 and the public use provisions at 

49 U.S.C. 10905.2 That petition will be 

addressed in a subsequent decision. 

Petitions to stay that do not involve 

environmental issues,3 formal 

expressions of intent to file an OFA 

under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2), and interim 

trail use/rail banking requests under 49 

CFR 1152.29 must be filed by June 17, 

2021.4 Petitions to reopen or requests 

for public use conditions under 49 CFR 

1152.28 must be filed by June 28, 2021. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

AB 1094X, should be filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board via efiling on the Board’s website. In 

addition, a copy of each pleading must 

be served on the City’s representative, 

Allison I. Fultz, Kaplan Kirsch & 

Rockwell, 1001 Connecticut Avenue 

NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC 20036. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. 

The City has filed a combined 

environmental and historic report that 

addresses the potential effects, if any, of 

the abandonment on the environment 

and historic resources. OEA will issue a 

Draft Environmental Assessment (Draft 

EA) by June 11, 2021. The Draft EA will 

be available to interested persons on the 

Board’s website, by writing to OEA, or 

by calling OEA at (202) 245–0305. 

Assistance for the hearing impaired is 

available through the Federal Relay 

Service at (800) 877–8339. Comments 

on environmental and historic 

preservation matters must be filed 

within 15 days after the Draft EA 

becomes available to the public. 

Environmental, historic preservation, 

public use, or interim 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), the City shall file a notice 

of consummation with the Board to
