Norfolk Southern Railway Co.; Public Hearing

    The Norfolk Southern Railway Company, Central of Georgia Railroad 
has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), seeking 
approval of the proposed discontinuance and removal of the automatic 
block signal and traffic control signal systems, on the single main 
track ``P'' Line and sidings between Columbus, Georgia, milepost P-
291.8 and Leeds, Alabama, milepost P-423.8, Alabama Division, Columbus 
and Norris Yard District, a distance of approximately 132 miles.
    This proceeding is identified as FRA Block Signal Application 
Number 3360.
    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 
Thursday, January 25, 1996, in the G. W. Andrews Federal Court House 
Building, located at 701 Avenue A, in Opelika, Alabama. Interested 
parties are invited to present oral statements at the hearing.
    The hearing will be an informal one and will be conducted in 
accordance with Rule 25 of the FRA Rules of Practice (Title 49 CFR 
211.25), by a representative designated by the FRA.

[[Page 67161]]

    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 December 21, 1995.
Phil Olekszyk,
Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety Compliance and Program 
Implementation.
