INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Finance Docket No. 32547]


The Kansas City Southern Railway Co.--Construction and Operation 
Exemption--To Exxon Corporation's Plastics Plant near Baton Rouge and 
Baker, LA

    The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCS) has petitioned the 
Interstate Commerce Commission (Commission) for authority to construct 
and operate a 0.31 mile rail line near Baton Rouge and Baker, 
Louisiana. 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 Kansas City 
Southern Railway 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 (202) 927-6202. Requests for 
copies of the EA should also be directed to Mr. Dalton.
    Date made available to the public: August 11, 1995.
    Comment due date: September 11, 1995.

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