INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Finance Docket No. 32607]


WFEC Railroad Company--Construction and Operation of a Rail Line 
in Choctaw and McCurtain Counties, OK

    WFEC Railroad Company has petitioned the Interstate Commerce 
Commission (Commission) for authority to construct and operate a 14.3 
mile rail line in Choctaw and McCurtain Counties, OK. 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 WFEC 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 Michael Dalton [phone]. Requests for 
copies of the EA should also be directed to Mr. Dalton.
    Date made available to the public: August 18, 1995.
    Comment due date: September 18, 1995.

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