[Docket Number FRA-2011-0022]
Notice of Public Hearing
The Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad (CORP) has petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking the approval of the
proposed discontinuance and removal of automatic block signal systems
on three sections of the Roseburg Subdivision and on one section of the
Siskiyou Subdivision.
This proceeding is identified as FRA block signal application
Docket Number FRA-2011-0022. A copy of CORP's full petition is
available for review online at http://www.regulations.gov.
FRA has conducted a field investigation in this matter and has
issued a public notice seeking comments from interested parties (See 75
Federal Register 21943 (April 19, 2011)). After examining the carrier's
proposal and the available facts, FRA has determined that a public
hearing is necessary before a final decision is made on this proposal.
Accordingly, FRA invites all interested persons to participate in a
public hearing on December 1, 2011. The hearing will be conducted at
the Douglas County Courthouse, Room 310, 1036 Southeast Douglas Avenue,
Roseburg, Oregon 97470. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. Interested
parties are invited to present oral statements at the hearing. For
information on facilities or services for persons with disabilities or
to request special assistance at the hearing, contact FRA's Docket
Clerk Jerome Melis-Tull by telephone, email, or in writing, at least 5
business days before the date of the hearing. Mr. Melis-Tull's contact
information is as follows: FRA, Office of Chief Counsel, Mail Stop 10,
1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590; telephone: 202-493-
6058; and e-mail: [email protected].
The hearing will be informal and conducted in accordance with Rule
25 of the FRA Rules of Practice (Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
Section 211.25) by a representative designated by FRA. The hearing will
be a nonadversary proceeding; therefore, there will be no cross-
examination of persons presenting statements. An 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, DC, on October 19, 2011.

Deputy Associate Administrator for Regulatory and Legislative
