Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions on Proposed Highway in California, 12409 [2024-03229]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 33 / Friday, February 16, 2024 / Notices scope since the Line is only 1.04 miles long and reinstitution of common carrier service will merely connect STR’s proposed line to the interstate rail network. 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. However, labor protective conditions may not be imposed on transactions under 49 U.S.C. 10901. See 49 U.S.C. 10901(c). UP states that the proposed action will not result in changes to existing rail carrier operations or existing operations on the Line that would exceed the applicable thresholds of 49 CFR 1105.7(e)(4) or (5). Therefore, under 49 CFR 1105.6(c), this transaction is categorically excluded from environmental review. Similarly, under 49 CFR 1105.8(b)(1), no historic report is required because the subject transaction is for reinstituted rail service, UP has indicated no plans to alter railroad properties 50 years old or older, and any abandonment of service would be subject to Board jurisdiction. It is ordered: 1. BNSF’s motion to institute a proceeding and set a procedural schedule is denied. 2. Under 49 U.S.C. 10502, the Board exempts UP’s reinstitution of service over the Line from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10901. 3. Notice of the exemption will be published in the Federal Register. 4. The exemption will be effective on March 14, 2024. 5. Petitions to stay must be filed by February 23, 2024. Petitions for reconsideration and petitions to reopen must be filed by March 4, 2024. 6. This decision is effective on its service date. By the Board, Board Members Fuchs, Hedlund, Oberman, Primus, and Schultz. Jeffrey Herzig, Clearance Clerk.
