Docket Number FRA-2007-27411

    Applicants: Union Pacific Railroad Company, Mr. Thomas T. Ogee, 
Assistant Vice President, Engineering Design, 1400 Douglas Street, Mail 
Stop 0910, Omaha, Nebraska 68179.
    The Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) seeks approval of the 
proposed discontinuance of a traffic control system on the Pocatello 
Yard Runner Track and the removal of Absolute Signal H1E, at 
approximately milepost 211.8, on UP's Pocatello Subdivision, in East 
Pocatello, Idaho. The proposed changes consist of the discontinuance of 
the signal system and removal of signal H1E.
    The reason given for the proposed changes is that the signal is no 
longer needed for train operations.
    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 addresses listed above.

by the docket number (FRA-2007-27411) and must be submitted to the 
Docket Clerk, DOT Central Docket Management Facility, Room PL-401 
(Plaza Level), 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 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 a.m.-5 p.m.) 
at the above facility. 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 wishes to inform all potential commenters that anyone is able

    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.
