any U.S. District Court or has been

misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio.
UP and WSOR have filed an
environmental report which addresses
the effects, if any, of the abandonment
and discontinuance on the environment
and historic resources. SEA will issue
an environmental assessment (EA) by
May 6, 2005. Interested persons may
obtain a copy of the EA by writing to
SEA (Room 500, Surface Transportation
Board, Washington, DC 20423) or by
calling SEA, at (202) 565–1539.
[Assistance for the hearing impaired is
available through the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–

environmental and historic preservation
matters must be filed within 15 days
after the EA becomes available to the
public.
Environmental, historic preservation,
public use, or 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), UP shall file a notice of
consummation with the Board to signify
that it has exercised the authority
granted and fully abandoned the line. If
consummation has not been effected by

decision on environmental issues (whether raised
by a party or by the Board’s Section of
Environmental Analysis (SEA) in its independent
investigation) cannot be made before the
exemption’s effective date. See Exemption of Outof-Service 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.

accompanied by the filing fee, which currently is
set at $1,200. See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).
