February 25, 1977
The Interstate Com
merce Commission
hereby gixes notice that
its Section of Energy
and Environment has
concluded that the pro
posed abandonment by
llie Oregon, Washington
Railroad and Naviga
tion Company and the
proposed abandonment
of operations by the
Union Pacific Railroad
Company of the Uma
tilla Branch extending
7.5 miles from Umatilla
to Irrigon in Umatilla
and Morrow Counties,
Ore., if approved by the
Commission, does not
constitute a major Fed
eral action significantly
affecting the quality of
the human environment
wilhiii the meaning of
the National Environ
mental Policy Act of
(NEPA), 12 U.S.C.
ss-ss 1321. et seq., and
that preparation of a
detailed environmental
impact statement will
not be required under
section 1332(2X0 of the
NEPA.
It as concluded,
among other things,
that no traffic has been
generated on the branch
for at least five years
and no industries which
would be dependent on
the line for rail service
;re located in or plan
ned for the adjacent
area. Moreover alter
native transportation is

available over the UP
main line and the navi
gable Columbia River.
Inasmuch as the line
would be reclassified to
a sidetrack if the aban
donment is approved
and continue in use for
the storage of cars, the
proposed abandonment
is not expected to ad
versely affect the exist
ing environment nor
have a serious adverse
effect on rural and com
munity development.
Because ownership
would be retained by the
railroad, the right-of-way
would not be suit
able for public use.
This conclusion is
contained in a staff
prepared environment
al threshold assessment
survey, which is avail
able on request to the
Interstate Commerce
Commission, Office of
Proceedings, Washing
ton. D.C. 20423; tele
phone 202275-7011.
Interested persons
may comment on this
matter by filing their
statements in writing
with the Interstate Com
merce Commission,
Washington, D.C. 20423,
on or before April 13,
1977.
It should be empha
sized that the environ
mental threshold as
sessment survey repre
sents an evaluation of
the environmental is
sues in the proceeding
and does not purport to
resolve the issue of
whether the present or
future public conveni
ence and necessity per
mit discontinuance of
the line proposed for
abandonment. Conse
quently, comments on
the environmental study
should be limited to
discussion of the pres
ence or absence of en
vironmental impacts
and reasonable alterna
tives. ROBERT L. OSWALD,
