Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 1, 2010 / Notices 53735 

West Railroad Company LLC, and 

Temple & Central Texas Railway, Inc. 

The parties state that: (1) The rail line 

to be operated by P&N does not connect 

with any other railroads in the corporate 

family; (2) the transaction is not part of 

a series of anticipated transactions that 

would connect this rail line with any 

other railroad in the corporate family; 

and (3) the transaction does not involve 

a Class I rail carrier. Therefore, the 

transaction is exempt from the prior 

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). 

Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board 

may not use its exemption authority to 

relieve a rail carrier of its statutory 

obligation to protect the interests of its 

employees. Section 11326(c), however, 

does not provide for labor protection for 

transactions under sections 11324 and 

11325 that involve only Class III rail 

carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not 

impose labor protective conditions here, 

because all of the carriers involved are 

Class III carriers. 

If the verified notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

may be filed at any time. The filing of 

a petition to revoke will not 

automatically stay the effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than September 3, 2010 

(at least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 

35403, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20423–0001. In 

addition, one copy of each pleading 

must be served on Louis E. Gitomer, 600 

Baltimore Ave., Suite 301, Towson, MD 

21204.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement; 

Opportunity Corridor, City of 

Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement will be 

prepared for transportation 

improvements proposed in Cuyahoga 

County, Ohio. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Laura S. Leffler, Division Administrator, 

Federal Highway Administration, 200 

North High Street, Room 328, 

Columbus, Ohio 43215, Telephone: 

(614) 280–6896. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA), in cooperation with the Ohio 

Department of Transportation (ODOT), 

will prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) on a proposal to 

construct new roadways on new 

alignments between Interstate 490 and 

the University Circle area of Cleveland, 

Ohio. The study area extends from 

Interstate 77/Interstate 490 in the west 

to East 105th Street and Chester Avenue 

(U.S. 322) in the east and is located 

entirely in the City of Cleveland, Ohio. 

The study area runs generally parallel to 

the existing railroad transportation 

corridor containing Greater Cleveland 

Regional Transit Authority’s (GCRTA) 

Red Line and freight tracks owned and 

operated by Norfolk Southern 

Corporation (NS) and CSX Corporation 

(CSX). 

The purpose of the transportation 

improvement is to create the 

transportation infrastructure to improve 

mobility and access in southeast 

Cleveland and support the revival and 

redevelopment of large tracts of vacant 

industrial and residential land within 

an area bounded by Cedar Avenue on 

the north, east 55th Street on the West, 

Woodhill Road/East 93rd Street on the 

east and Union Avenue on the south. 

Actions under consideration include 

(1) six various alternatives to construct 

a boulevard type roadway including a 

multi-lane urban arterial with curbs, an 

elevated landscape median, multimodal facilities, landscaping and 

lighting, and (2) taking no action. The 

current six various alternatives have 

been born out of a previous planning 

study called the University Circle 

Access Boulevard. The project 

development process including the 

refinement of Conceptual Alternatives 

and the development of Feasible 

Alternatives will be included in the 

Draft EIS. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State and local 

agencies and to private organizations 

and citizens who have previously 

expressed or are known to have interest 

in this proposal. A series of public 

meetings and hearings will be held in 

the project area. Public notice will be 

given of the exact time and place of the 

meetings and the hearing to be held for 

the project. The Draft EIS will be 

available for public and agency review 

and comment prior to the Public 

Hearing. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments, and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action or the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the address 

provided above.

to discuss rail carrier preparedness to 

transport the 2010 fall grain harvest.

Remarks by Board Chairman Daniel R. 

Elliott III, Vice-Chairman Francis P. 

Mulvey (who serves as Co-Chairman for 

the NGCC), and Commissioner Charles 

D. Nottingham; reports by rail carriers 

and shippers on grain-service related 

issues; a report by rail car manufacturers 

and lessors on current and future 

availability of various grain-car types; a 

presentation and discussion regarding 

the development of Positive Train 

Control; discussion of export grain in 

intermodal containers; a presentation by 

the White Paper subcommittee; and an 

open forum on BNSF Certificates of 

Transportation (COTs) for Processors, 

weather’s effect on supply/demand of 

equipment, and export market impact 

on U.S. grain car supply. The full 

agenda and a copy of the White Paper 

are posted on the Board’s Web site at 

http://www.stb.dot.gov/stb/rail/

The meeting, which is open to the 

public, will be conducted pursuant to 

the NGCC’s charter and Board 

procedures. Further communications 

about this meeting may also be 

announced through the Board’s Web
