[STB Docket No. AB–409 (Sub-No. 5X)]
Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority—
Abandonment Exemption—in Los
Angeles County, CA
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (LACMTA)
has filed a notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1152 Subpart F—Exemption
Abandonments to abandon a 0.31-mile
line of railroad (the Line), a portion of
the Santa Monica Industrial Lead,1
between milepost 485.69 and milepost
486.00 in Los Angeles County, CA. The
line traverses United States Postal
Service Zip Code 90011.
LACMTA has certified that: (1) No
local traffic has moved over the line for
at least 2 years; (2) any overhead traffic
1The Santa Monica Industrial Lead is the subject
of a notice of exemption in Union Pacific Railroad
Company—Abandonment and Discontinuance of
Trackage Rights Exemption—in Los Angeles
County, CA, STB Docket No. AB–33 (Sub-No. 265X)
that was served and published in the Federal
Register on April 8, 2008. The exemption became
effective on May 8, 2008. In a decision served May
7, 2008, the Board rejected a notice of intent by
James Riffin to file an offer of financial assistance
(OFA) to purchase the Santa Monica Industrial
Lead. On May 28, 2008, Riffin filed a petition to
revoke Union Pacific Railroad Company’s (UP)
exemption, to which UP replied on June 2, 2008.
Those filings will be addressed in a subsequent
Board decision. In this notice, LACMTA is seeking
to abandon its residual common carrier obligation
for the Line.

can be rerouted over other lines; (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 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
(historic report), 49 CFR 1105.11
(transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12
(newspaper publication), and 49 CFR
1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental
agencies) have been met.
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 July 18,
2008, unless stayed pending
reconsideration. LACMTA has
simultaneously filed in this proceeding
a petition for exemption from the OFA
provisions at 49 U.S.C. 10904 and the
public use provisions at 49 U.S.C.
10905. That matter will be resolved in
a subsequent decision.
The OFA process is designed for the
purpose of providing continued rail
service. The Board need not require the
sale of a line under the OFA provisions
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
if it determines that the offeror is not
genuinely interested in providing rail
service or that there is no likelihood of
future traffic.2 Here, where the
abandoning carrier seeks an exemption
from the provisions of section 10904,
where there has been no service on the
line for at least 2 years, and where the
property is proposed to be used for a
public purpose, any person who wishes
to oppose the request for an exemption
from the OFA provisions or who intends
to file an OFA should address one or
more of the following: whether there is
a demonstrable commercial need for rail
service, as manifested by support from
shippers or receivers on the line being
abandoned or as manifested by other
evidence of immediate and significant
commercial need; whether there is
community support for continued rail
service; whether acquisition of freight
operating rights would interfere with
current and planned transit services;
and whether continued rail service is
operationally feasible, especially where,
as here, the line to be abandoned is
physically constrained.
The petition for exemption from the
OFA process was filed on May 29, 2008.
To permit persons to take these factors
into consideration in filing a reply to the

Abandonment and Discontinuance of Trackage
Rights Exemption—in Los Angeles County, CA, STB
