Because there will be environmental review during abandonment, this discontinuance does not require an environmental review. See 49 CFR 1105.6(c)(5), 1105.8(b). Any offer of financial assistance (OFA) under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) to subsidize continued rail service will be due no later than April 19, 2019, or 10 days after service of a decision granting the petition for exemption, whichever occurs sooner.2 Each OFA must be accompanied by a $1,800 filing fee.

See 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2)(i). 2 The Board modified its OFA procedures effective July 29, 2017.
