[Finance Docket No. 34040]


Riverview Trenton Railroad Company--Acquisition and Operation--In 
Wayne County, MI

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.

ACTION: Notice of extended comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Riverview Trenton Railroad Company (RTRR) has petitioned 
the Surface Transportation Board (Board) for authority to acquire and 
operate a rail line approximately 1.5 miles in length in Wayne County, 
Michigan, to serve a proposed intermodal facility. The Board's Section 
of Environmental Analysis (SEA) served an environmental assessment (EA) 
for public review and comment on this project on October 15, 2001. 
Comments were originally due by November 14, 2001. Due to recent events 
involving a principal postal facility in Washington, DC, timely receipt 
of materials mailed to the Board has been disrupted. The Board has 
therefore decided to extend the comment period until November 26, 2001. 
SEA requests that individuals filing comments, as well as individuals 
who have previously filed comments regarding this EA, take the 
following additional steps to ensure receipt of their correspondence 
during the comment period:
    1. Telephone or e-mail the environmental contact prior to the close 
of the comment period and inform them that you have mailed a comment.
    2. If the comment has not been received, the environmental contact 
will discuss alternative modes of delivery.
    3. Retain a copy of your comment for your records should 
alternative modes of delivery be necessary.

    SEA is committed to carrying out its duties to the public and 
regrets any inconvenience these new procedures may cause.

DATES: Comment period extended to November 26, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments (an original and 10 copies) regarding this EA 
should be submitted in writing to: Section of Environmental Analysis, 
Surface Transportation Board, 1925 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20423, 
to the attention of Kenneth Blodgett.
