10027 In the Matter of Consumers Power Company Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-329 and SC-330
Dear Chairman Murphy:
Certainly one of the most difficult conceptual prob-lems the Board faces is in determining the extent to which is realistic or remote.,
inquiry into environmental matters Although only indirectly in point because decided two recent on other and completely distinguishable grounds, United States District Court decisions in this Circuit contain language which may cast, helpful light.
some In Cohen v. Price Commission, 40 USLW 2470 (SDNY January 24, 1972), the recent New York City subway fare in-crease was attacked for the absence of a NEPA statement.
The increase allegedly would result in more automobiles entering the City, with adverse environmental consequences.
Judge Weinfeld denied a motion,for a preliminary injunction.
In New York City v.!Un'ited States, 40 USLW 2474 (EDNY January 20, 1972), Judge Friendly speaking for a three judge held that the Interstate Commerce Commission's failure
- court, ICC order to prepare a NEPA statement,, required remand of an abandon certain authorizing the Penn Central Railroad to operations.
