Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway Company; Public Hearing

    The Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Company has petitioned the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA), seeking approval of the proposed 
discontinuance and removal of the traffic control system on the single 
main track of the Bellevue Line between Spencer, Ohio, milepost 92.0 
and Bellevue, Ohio, milepost 54.5, a distance of approximately 37.5 
miles.
    This proceeding is identified as FRA Block Signal Application 
Number 3338.
    FRA has issued a public notice seeking comments of interested 
parties and has conducted a field investigation in this matter. After 
examining the proposal, field report, and letters of protest, the FRA 
has determined that a public hearing is necessary before a final 
decision is made on this proposal.
    Accordingly, a public hearing is hereby set for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, 
September 26, 1995, in the Huron County Administration Building, 
located at 180 Milan Avenue, in Norwalk Ohio. Interested parties are 
invited to present oral statements at the hearing. 

[[Page 43491]]

    The hearing will be an informal one and will be conducted in 
accordance with Rule 25 of the FRA Rules of Practice (49 CFR Part 
211.25), by a representative designated by the FRA.
    The hearing will be a nonadversary proceeding and, therefore, there 
will be no cross-examination of persons presenting statements. The FRA 
representative will make an opening statement outlining the scope of 
the hearing. After all initial statements have been completed, those 
persons wishing to make brief rebuttal statements will be given the 
opportunity to do so in the same order in which they made their initial 
statements. Additional procedures, if necessary for the conduct of the 
hearing, will be announced at the hearing.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on August 16, 1995.
Phil Olekszyk,
Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety Compliance and Program 
Implementation.
