AGENCY:
Notice to Rescind a Notice of
Intent to Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement.
ACTION:
A Notice of Intent to prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement was
published in the Federal Register Vol.
78, No. 248, Thursday, December 26,
2013, to advise the public that the FAA
would prepare an EIS analyzing the
potential environmental impacts of the
proposed Shiloh Launch Complex.
Space Florida had indicated an intent to
submit an application to the FAA to
request approval to operate a
commercial space launch site, called the
‘‘Shiloh Launch Complex’’ in Brevard
and Volusia Counties, Florida, triggering
the requirement to comply with the
National Environmental Policy Act. The
FAA is issuing this notice to advise the
public that Space Florida is conducting
further analysis of the proposed site and
the FAA will no longer prepare an EIS
for this proposed project, at this time. If
Space Florida decides to reinitiate the
project, the FAA will release a new
Notice of Intent for this project.

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on March 13, 2020, the Durbin &
Greenbrier Valley Railroad Inc. (DGVR)
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations
contained at 49 CFR part 215, Railroad
Freight Car Safety Standards. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number
FRA–2010–0181.
DGVR is operator of the West Virginia
Central Railroad via contractual
agreement with the West Virginia State
Rail Authority (WVSRA), which
includes the operations of the Cass
Scenic Railroad (CSR), in Cass, West
Virginia. The passenger cars for which
DGVR is seeking relief are the fleet of
historic freight cars converted for
passenger tourist service on the CSR.
Specifically, DGVR seeks FRA
approval per 49 CFR 215.203(a) to allow
15 passenger cars—formerly freight cars,
including four flat cars (Nos. 1, 2, 3, and
4), nine 40-foot steel frame cars (Nos. 5,
6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15), and two
cabooses (Nos. 9 and 14)—that are over
50 years old to operate on track owned
by the WVSRA. Because the cars would
be used for historic tourist operations,
DGVR also requests to waive the
stenciling requirements outlined in 49
CFR 215.303. DGVR explains the cars
will be limited to 10 miles per hour and
will not be used in interchange.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200
New Jersey Ave. SE, W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket
Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by

comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
PO 00000

the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a

comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
