Abandonments to abandon a 1.16-mile

National Railway Company.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:58 Feb 14, 2008
Jkt 214001
traverses United States Postal Service
Zip Code 54220.
WCL has certified that: (1) No local
traffic has moved over the line for at
least 2 years; (2) there is no overhead
traffic on the line to be rerouted; (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 complainant within
the 2-year period; and (4) the
requirements at 49 CFR 1105.7
(environmental report), 49 CFR 1105.8

(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12

As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
abandonment shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line R. Co.—
Abandonment—Goshen, 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, this
exemption will be effective on March
18, 2008, unless stayed pending
reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do
not involve environmental issues,2

49 CFR 1152.28 must be filed by March
6, 2008, with the Surface Transportation

A copy of any petition filed with the
Board should be sent to WCL’s
representative: Thomas J. Healey, 17641
S. Ashland Avenue, Homewood, IL
60430–1345.
2 The Board will grant a stay if an informed
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.
3 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which currently is set at $1,300. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
4 WCL notes in its verified notice of exemption
that it has contracted with Burger Boat Company to
sell its interest in a part of the land at issue once
the abandonment authority has been consummated.
