INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

[Ex Parte No. 394 (Sub-No. 14)]


Cost Ratio For Recyclables--1995 Determination

AGENCY: Interstate Commerce Commission.

ACTION: Establishment of recyclables rate caps.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission has calculated proposed 1995 revenue-to-
variable cost (r/vc) ratios as ceilings for rates on nonferrous 
recyclables under 49 U.S.C. 10731(e). The r/vc ratios were calculated 
in accordance with established procedures using the Uniform Railroad 
Costing System (URCS). Because URCS develops different variability 
percentages for [[Page 7790]] different railroads, the rules (49 CFR 
Part 1145) allow separate r/vc ratio ceilings for individual railroads. 
The proposed national average r/vc ratio for 1995 is 139.5%. Ratios are 
also proposed for individual class I railroads and for the Eastern 
region and the Western region. The Commission is deferring initiation 
of the fourth annual compliance proceeding.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 1, 1995, unless, within that time, comments are 
received challenging the accuracy of the ratios, in which case a 
further decision will be issued.

the human environment or energy conservation.
    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), we conclude that our action will not 
have a significant or adverse economic impact on a substantial number 
of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 10321(a), 10731; 5 U.S.C. 553.

    Decided: January 27, 1995.

    By the Commission, Chairman McDonald, Vice Chairman Morgan, and 
Commissioners Simmons and Owen.
