INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Finance Docket No. 32195]

 

Southern Electric Railroad Company--Construction Exemption--
Effingham County, GA

    The Southern Electric Railroad Company (SER) has petitioned the 
Interstate Commerce Commission (Commission) for authority to construct 
and operate a 2.5 mile rail line in Effingham County, Georgia. The 
Commission's Section of Environmental Analysis (SEA) has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA). Based on the information provided and 
the environmental analysis conducted to date, this EA concludes that 
this proposal should not significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment if the recommended mitigation measures set forth in the EA 
are implemented. Accordingly, SEA preliminarily recommends that the 
Commission impose on any decision approving the proposed construction 
and operation conditions requiring Southern Electric Railroad Company 
to implement the mitigation contained in the EA. The EA will be served 
on all parties of record as well as all appropriate Federal, state and 
local officials and will be made available to the public upon request. 
SEA will consider all comments received in response to the EA in making 
its final environmental recommendations to the Commission. The 
Commission will then consider SEA's final recommendations and the 
environmental record in making its final decision in this proceeding.
    Comments (an original and 10 copies) and any questions regarding 
this Environmental Assessment should be filed with the Commission's 
Section of Environmental Analysis, Office of Economic and Environmental 
Analysis, Room 3219, Interstate Commerce Commission, Washington, D.C. 
20423, to the attention of John O'Connell [phone]. Requests for 
copies of the EA should also be directed to Mr. O'Connell.

    Date made available to the public: November 4, 1994.

    Comment due date: December 5, 1994.

    By the Commission, Elaine K. Kaiser, Chief, Section of 
Environmental Analysis, Office of Economic and Environmental 
Analysis.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
