Mississippi Central Railroad Co.— 

Change in Operators Exemption— 

Tishomingo Railroad Company, Inc 

Mississippi Central Railroad Co. 

(MSCI),1 a Class III rail carrier, has filed 

a verified notice of exemption under 49 

CFR 1150.41 to change operators from 

Tishomingo Railroad Company, Inc. 

(TISH),2 to MSCI on a line of railroad of 

the State of Mississippi (the State), at 

Iuka, MS. Pursuant to an agreement 

with TISH, MSCI will lease and operate 

approximately 10 miles of rail line 

between Norfolk Southern Railway 

Company’s Iuka Wye at milepost 0.0, 

and the Tri-State Commerce Park at 

milepost 10.0, in Tishomingo County, 

MS. MSCI states that, pursuant to the 

lease agreement with the State, MSCI 

will lease, operate, maintain, and 

perform all common carrier service on 

the line. This change in operators is 

exempt under 49 CFR 1150.41(c).3

Based on projected revenues for the 

line, MSCI expects to remain a Class III 

rail carrier after consummation of the 

proposed transaction. MSCI certifies 

that its projected annual revenues as a 

result of this transaction will not result 

in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail 

carrier. 

MSCI states that it intends to 

consummate the transaction on August 

1, 2009 (at least 30 days after the notice 

of exemption was filed), and that 

operations will begin thereafter. 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

No. 110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 

(2007), nothing in this decision 

authorizes the following activities at any 

solid waste rail transfer facility: 

Collecting, storing, or transferring solid 

waste outside of its original shipping 

container; or separating or processing 

solid waste (including baling, crushing, 

compacting, and shredding). The term 

‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004 

of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 

U.S.C. 6903. 

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 July 17, 2009 (at 

least 7 days before the exemption 

becomes effective). 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35258, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423– 

0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on Daniel A. 

LaKemper, General Counsel, Mississippi

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims 

for judicial review of actions by the 

California Department of Transportation 

(Caltrans), pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of 

Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 

announce actions taken by Caltrans that 

are final within the meaning of 23 

U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a 

proposed highway project, the Cold 

Spring Canyon Bridge Suicide Barrier 

project on State Route 154 at Cold 

Spring Canyon Bridge, 05–SB–154–PM 

22.9/23.1, in the County of Santa 

Barbara, State of California. Those 

actions grant licenses, permits, and 

approvals for the project. 

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on 

behalf of Caltrans, is advising the public 

of final agency actions subject to 23 

U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking 

judicial review of the Federal agency 

actions on the highway project will be 

barred unless the claim is filed on or 

before January 6, 2010. If the Federal 

law that authorizes judicial review of a 

claim provides a time period of less 

than 180 days for filing such claim, then 

that shorter time period still applies. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

Caltrans: Matt Fowler, Chief, 

Environmental Branch, Caltrans, 50

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) assigned, and 

the California Department of 

Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, 

environmental responsibilities for this 

project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. 

Notice is hereby given that the Caltrans 

has taken final agency actions subject to 

23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, 

permits, and approvals for the following 

highway project in the State of 

California. The project includes the 

installation of a physical suicide barrier 

on each side of the Cold Spring Canyon 

Bridge, on State Route 154 near San 

Marcos Pass in Santa Barbara County. 

The bridge spans a distance of over 

1,200 feet in length and is more than 

400 feet in height. The purpose of the 

proposed project is to: (1) Reduce the 

number of suicides at the Cold Spring 

Canyon Bridge resulting from 

individuals jumping off the bridge, and 

(2) Reduce the exposure to risks for 

emergency personnel such as law 

enforcement officers or search and 

rescue teams when attempting to 

prevent persons from jumping off of the 

bridge, and reduce the number of 

recoveries that need to be performed 

following a suicide jump from the 

bridge. The actions by the Federal 

agencies, and the laws under which 

such actions were taken, are described 

in the Environmental Assessment/ 

Finding of No Significant Impact (EA/ 

FONSI) for the project, approved on 

June 22, 2009, and in other documents 

in the FHWA project records. The EA/ 

FONSI and other project records are 

available by contacting Caltrans at the 

address provided above. The Caltrans 

EA/FONSI can be viewed and 

downloaded from the Caltrans Web site
