BILLING CODE P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Surface Transportation Board [Docket No. FD 35141] U. S. Rail Corporation—Construction and Operation Exemption—Brookhaven Rail Terminal AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. ACTION: Notice of Board Action. SUMMARY: Subject to environmental mitigation conditions, the Board is granting an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from the prior approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10901 for U. S. Rail Corporation (U. S. Rail) to construct and operate a line of railroad at a 28-acre site to be known as the Brookhaven Rail Terminal (BRT), in Brookhaven, Suffolk County, N.Y.
According to U. S. Rail, the total length of the track to be constructed is about 18,000 feet. The purpose of the proposed construction is to enable U. S.

The project is intended to reduce Sills' reliance on truck transport of aggregate through the New York City metropolitan region.
