INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket No. 32433]


Chicago & North Western Railway Co.--Construction Exemption--
Douglas County, Wisconsin

    The Chicago & North Western Railway Co. (CNW) has petitioned the 
Interstate Commerce Commission (Commission) for authority to construct 
and operate a 2,900-foot rail line extension which would provide CNW 
with access to the Midwest Energy Resources Company coal dock facility 
in Superior, Wisconsin. The Commission's Section of Environmental 
Analysis (SEA) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for this 
project. 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 CNW 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 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, DC 
20423, to the attention of Dana White [phone]. Requests for 
copies of the EA should also be directed to Ms. White.
    Date made available to the public: March 22, 1995.
    Comment due date: April 21, 1995.

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