INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Finance Docket Nos. 32476, 32623 and 32624]


Northern Nevada Railroad Corporation--Construction and Operation 
Exemption--White Pine County, NV; Northern Nevada Railroad 
Corporation--Modified Rail Certificate--Between McGill Junction and 
Keystone, NV, and Northern Nevada Railroad Corporation--Modified Rail 
Certificate--Between Cobre and McGill Junction, NV

    The Northern Nevada Railroad Corporation (Northern Nevada) has 
petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission (Commission) for 
authority to construct and operate a 3.13 mile rail line in White Pine 
County, NV. The Commission's Section of Environmental Analysis (SEA) 
has prepared its Environmental Assessment (EA) which analyzes the 
environmental impacts associated with this construction project and 
related operations over rail lines between McGill Junction and 
Keystone, Nevada and Cobre and McGill Junction, Nevada. 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 that would 
implement the mitigation measures 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 EA 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 Mr. Harold McNulty [phone]. Requests for copies of the EA 
should also be directed to Mr. McNulty.
    Date made available to the public: March 3, 1995.
    Comment due date: April 3, 1995.

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