INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Docket No. AB-32 (Sub-No. 69)]


Boston and Maine Corporation--Abandonment and Discontinuance of 
Service--Middlesex County, MA

AGENCY: Interstate Commerce Commission.

ACTION: Exemption from time limit requirements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under 49 U.S.C. 10505, the Commission is exempting Boston and 
Maine Corporation in this proceeding from the requirements that it post 
and serve its ``notice of intent'' not more than 30 days prior to 
filing its application to abandon and discontinue rail service. The 
Commission is extending the time limit to June 15, 1995 to enable the 
carrier to conduct additional negotiations with state and local 
officials aimed at forestalling abandonment or discontinuance.

DATES: The exemption will take effect on May 26, 1995. Petitions to 
reopen must be filed by June 15, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send pleadings referring to Docket No. AB-32 (Sub-No. 69) 
to: (1) Office of the Secretary, Case Control Branch, Interstate 
Commerce Commission, 1201 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 
20423; and (2) petitioner's representative: John R. Nadolny, General 
Counsel, Boston & Maine Corporation, Iron Horse Park, N. Billerica, MA

(TDD for the hearing impaired: (202) 927-5721.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49 U.S.C. 10904(a)(3)(E), a rail 
carrier must certify that it has satisfied specified public notice 
requirements within 30 days prior to filing an application to abandon 
or discontinue service. Having intended to file its application in this 
proceeding on May 5, 1995, Boston and Maine Corporation satisfied the 
notice requirements on or about April 5, 1995. The rail carrier, 
however, has commenced negotiating with state and local officials and 
wishes to postpone the date for filing its application until June 15, 
1995, to permit additional time for negotiations. Therefore, the 
Commission is granting the carrier an exemption and extending the time 
in this proceeding for filing an application after notice is given to 
June 15, 1995.
    Additional information is contained in the Commission's decision.

Commissioners Simmons and McDonald.

Secretary.
