Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 203 / Thursday, October 20, 2011 / Notices
sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
subpart F-Exempt Abandonments and
Discontinuances of Service to
discontinue service over approximately
10.0 miles of rail line between mileposts
L–0.0 (near Trade Street in WinstonSalem) and L–10.0 (near the intersection
of Hampton Road and Idols Road in
Clemmons), in Forsyth County, N.C.
The line traverses United States Postal
Service Zip Codes 27012, 27101, 27103,
27104, 27105, and 27127.
NSR 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; (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 1105.12
(newspaper publication) and 49 CFR
1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental
agencies) have been met.1
As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
discontinuance shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line Railroad—
Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch
Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham &
Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 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 become effective on
November 19, 2011, unless stayed
pending reconsideration. Petitions to
stay that do not involve environmental
issues and formal expressions of intent
to file an OFA for continued rail service
under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),2 must be
filed by October 31, 2011.3 Petitions to
reopen must be filed by November 9,
2011, with the Surface Transportation
Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington,
DC 20423–0001.
A copy of any petition filed with the
Board should be sent to NSR’s
representative: Robert A. Wimbish, 2401
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Suite 300,
Washington, DC 20037.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio.
Board decisions and notices are
available on our Web site at https://
www.stb.dot.gov.
1 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and
not an abandonment, the proceeding is exempt from
the requirements of 49 CFR 1105.7 (environmental
reports), 49 CFR 1105.8 (historic reports), and 49
CFR 1105.11 (transmittal letter).
2 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which is currently set at $1,500. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
3 Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and
not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and
public use conditions are not appropriate.

Service by the General Counsel of the
Department of the Treasury by General
