considered the filing date and the basis for all dates in this 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

regarding cessation of service over the Line is pending either with the

filed.
    Provided no formal expression of intent to file an offer of 
financial assistance (OFA) to subsidize continued rail service has been 
received, this exemption will become effective on August 5, 2016, 
unless stayed pending reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do not

currently set at $1,600. See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).
    \3\ Because CSXT is seeking to discontinue service, not to

during abandonment, this discontinuance does not require an 
environmental review.
