Texas-New Mexico Railroad, located in
New Mexico and Texas; and (6) West
Texas & Lubbock Railway, located in
Texas.
IPH/PBR represent that: (1) The Line
does not connect with any other
railroads in the corporate family; (2) the
transaction is not part of a series of
anticipated transactions that would
connect the Line with any other
railroads in the corporate family; and (3)
the transaction does not involve a Class
I rail carrier. Therefore, the transaction
is exempt from the prior approval
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 11323. See 49
CFR 1180.2(d)(2).
Under 49 U.S.C. 10502(g), the Board
may not use its exemption authority to
relieve a rail carrier of its statutory
obligation to protect the interests of its
employees. Section 11326(c), however,
does not provide for labor protection for
transactions under sections 11324 and
11325 that involve only Class III rail
carriers. Accordingly, the Board may not
impose labor protective conditions here,
because all of the carriers involved are
Class III carriers.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
may be filed at any time. The filing of
a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Stay petitions must be
filed no later than August 24, 2012 (at
least 7 days before the exemption
becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD
35632, must be filed with the Surface
Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423–0001. In
addition, one copy of each pleading
must be served on John D. Heffner,
Strasburger & Price, LLP, 1700 K Street
NW., Suite 640, Washington, DC 20006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA
operates the SFVAMC, located at Fort
Miley in San Francisco, California. It is
the only VAMC in the City and County
of San Francisco and is considered an
aging facility with need for retrofitting
and expansion. The SFVAMC has
identified a need for retrofitting existing
buildings to the most recent seismic
safety requirements and for an
additional 589,000 square feet of
building space (in addition to the
existing nearly one million square feet
of building space) to meet the needs of
San Francisco Bay Area and northern
California coast Veterans over the next
20 years.
Three alternatives were evaluated in
the Draft EIS. Alternative 1 would
include the addition of 244,000 square
feet (or 394,000 square feet including
parking structure space) of medical and
research space and seismic retrofit of
nine existing buildings at the existing
SFVAMC site, a 29-acre site located at
Fort Miley in the northwestern portion
of San Francisco. Alternative 2 would
include the addition of 124,000 square
feet (or 274,000 square feet including
parking structure space) of medical and
research space and seismic retrofit of
nine existing buildings at the existing
SFVAMC site as well as the
construction of 350,000 square feet (or

620,000 square feet including parking

addressed in the Draft EIS include:
aesthetics, air quality, community
services, cultural resources, coastal
management, geology and soils,
greenhouse gas emissions, hydrology
and water quality, land use, noise,
socioeconomics, hazards, transportation
and parking, utilities, and biological
