INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Finance Docket No. 32630]


Omaha Public Power District (OPPD)--Construction of a Rail Line 
in Otoe County, NE

    The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) has petitioned the 
Interstate Commerce Commission (Commission) for authority to construct 
and operate a 4.6 mile rail line near Nebraska City, Nebraska. 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 OPPD 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: September 25, 1995.
    Comment due date: October 25, 1995.

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