803 (the Act), which was enacted on December 29, 1995, and took
effect on January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate Commerce
Commission (ICC) and transferred certain functions and proceedings
to the Surface Transportation Board (Board). Section 204(b)(1) of
the Act provides, in general, that proceedings pending before the
ICC on the effective date of that legislation shall be decided under
the law in effect prior to January 1, 1996, insofar as they involve
functions retained by the Act. This notice relates to a proceeding
that was pending with the ICC prior to January 1, 1996, and to
functions that are subject to Board jurisdiction pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 10901. Therefore, this notice applies the law in effect prior
to the Act.
