INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
[Ex Parte No. 519 (Sub-No. 1)]
Establishment of National Grain Car Council and Request for
Suggestion of Candidates for Membership
AGENCY: Interstate Commerce Commission.
ACTION: Notice correcting composition of membership on advisory
council, extending time for submitting suggestions for membership, and
adding corrected docket number.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The ICC is hereby giving notice that the composition of the
National Grain Car Council (NGCC), previously announced in 59 FR 60828,
should include 10 representatives of grain shippers and receivers
instead of 5 as contained in the original notice. In addition, the ICC
is extending the time for submitting suggestions for membership on the
NGCC 3 weeks, from December 19, 1994, to January 9, 1995. Finally, a
new docket number for all NGCC matters is being added.
DATES: Suggestions of candidates for membership on the NGCC are due on
January 9, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Send suggestions and supporting information (referring to
the National Grain Car Council) to: Richard S. Fitzsimmons, Designated
Federal Official--National Grain Car Council, Interstate Commerce
Commission, Washington, DC 20423.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard S. Fitzsimmons, telephone
(202) 927-5340. TDD for the hearing impaired: (202) 927-5721.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice published November 28, 1994, in
the Federal Register, 59 FR 60828, the ICC requested suggestions for
membership on the National Grain Car Council (NGCC). Inadvertently, the
notice stated that there would be 5 representatives of grain shippers
and receivers. The Charter of the NGCC, Article III, Section 3.1,
provides that there will be 10 representatives of grain shippers and
receivers. The ICC will therefore require additional submissions of
suggestions for representatives of this group of interested parties.
In addition, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) the
Regional Railroads of America (RRA), and the American Short Line
Railroad Association (ASLRA), have requested a 60-day extension for
submitting their recommendations for NGCC membership. The December 19,
1994, due date for membership recommendations was set with the
intention of quickly establishing the Council. Indeed, these groups
have long been aware of the Commission's interest in establishing the
NGCC. However, to give the railroads more time to select
representatives for the important work of the NGCC and because of the
correction we have made in the composition of the Council, a 3-week
extension, to January 9, 1995, will be granted.
Finally, all NGCC matters should be referenced by the docket number
Ex Parte No. 519 (Sub-No. 1), National Grain Car Council. The docket
number was omitted from the prior Federal Register notice, and was
misstated in the prior notice served by the Commission on December 1,
1994. Environmental Statement: This action will not significantly
affect either the quality of the human environment or the conservation
of energy resources.
Decided: December 8, 1994.
By the Commission, Chairman Gail C. McDonald.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
