Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or 
Modification of a Railroad Signal System or Relief From Requirements

    Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 235 and 
49 U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroads have petitioned the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval for the discontinuance 
or modification of the signal system or relief from the requirements of 
49 CFR part 236 as detailed below.

[Docket No. FRA-2001-9417]

    Applicant: CSX Transportation, Mr. Eric G. Peterson, Assistant 
Chief Engineer, Signal Design and Construction, 4901 Belfort Road, 
Suite 130 (S/C J-370), Jacksonville, Florida 32256.
    CSX Transportation seeks approval of the proposed modification of 
the traffic control system on Main Track No. 2, near Union City, Ohio, 
milepost QI197.64, on the Indianapolis Line Subdivision, Great Lakes 
Division. The proposed changes consist of the discontinuance and 
removal of absolute controlled signals 4E and 4W associated with the 
previous removal of the No. 1 switch.
    The reason given for the proposed changes is to eliminate 
facilities no longer needed in present day operation.
    Any interested party desiring to protest the granting of an 
application shall set forth specifically the grounds upon which the 
protest is made, and contain a concise statement of the interest of the 
party in the proceeding. Additionally, one copy of the protest shall be 
furnished to the applicant at the address listed above.
    All communications concerning this proceeding should be identified 
by the docket number and must be submitted to the Docket Clerk, DOT 
Central Docket Management Facility, Room PI-401, Washington, D.C. 
20590-0001. Communications received within 45 days of the date of this 
notice will be considered by the FRA before final action is taken. 
Comments received after that date will be considered as far as 
practicable. All written communications concerning these proceedings 
are available for examination during regular business hours (9:00 a.m.-
5:00 p.m.) at DOT Central Docket Management Facility, Room PI-401 
(Plaza Level), 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590-0001. 
All documents in the public docket are also available for inspection 
and copying on the internet at the docket facility's Web site at http://dms.dot.gov.
    FRA expects to be able to determine these matters without an oral 
hearing. However, if a specific request for an oral hearing is 
accompanied by a showing that the party is unable to adequately present 
his or her position by written statements, an application may be set 
for public hearing.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on May 29, 2001.
Grady C. Cothen, Jr.,
Deputy Associate Administrator for Safety Standards and Program 
Development.
