ACTION: PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 51885 SUMMARY: In response to a petition filed by DesertXpress Enterprises, LLC (DesertXpress), the Board is instituting a declaratory order proceeding under 5 U.S.C. 554(e) and 49 U.S.C. 721 to determine whether the Board’s jurisdiction preempts state and local environmental review, land use restrictions, and other discretionary permitting requirements that might otherwise apply to DesertXpress’ proposed construction of an interstate high speed passenger rail system between Victorville, CA, and Las Vegas, NV. No responses to the petition have been filed. The Board seeks public comment on this issue. DATES: Comments are due October 16, 2006. Replies are due November 6, 2006. ADDRESSES: Send an original and 10 copies of any comments, referring to STB Finance Docket No. 34914, to: Surface Transportation Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423– 0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DesertXpress’ petition for declaratory order concerns its proposed project to construct an approximately 200-mile interstate high speed passenger rail system between Victorville and Las Vegas. Petitioner states that the project will involve the construction of significant lengths of new track and ancillary facilities, including two passenger stations and a 50-acre train maintenance and storage facility and operations center. DesertXpress states that the proposed route is planned alongside or within the median of Interstate 15 and will provide an alternative to automobile travel on that interstate. Petitioner anticipates that the project will utilize European high-speed trains which, traveling at speeds up to 125 miles per hour, will travel between the two termini in under 105 minutes. According to petitioner, it has already initiated the Federal environmental review process, met with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) about the project, coordinated with the Board and FRA in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement, and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with FRA and the Board.
