    Rate Guidelines--Non-Coal Proceedings
    
    AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.
    
    ACTION: Updated RSAM and Average R/VC > 1.8 percentages for the period 
    1992-1995.

    SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation Board established guidelines for 
    handling small maximum rate complaints in Rate Guidelines--Non-Coal 
    Proceedings, Ex Parte No. 347 (Sub-No. 2) (served Dec. 31, 1996). In 
    that decision, the Board provided tables containing composite ``Revenue 
    Shortfall Allocation Method'' (RSAM) and ``Average Revenue to Variable 
    Cost > 1.80'' (Average R/VC > 1.8) percentages for class I railroads 
    for the period 1991-1994 for use in addressing small rail rate 
    complaints.
        The Board has now updated these tables to provide percentages for 
    the period 1992-1995. In addition, the Board has computed regional 
    (Eastern and Western) and national percentages for use in proceedings 
    involving non-class I railroads.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: May 1, 1997.

        This action will not significantly affect either the quality of the 
    human environment or energy conservation.
        Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), we conclude that our action will not 
    have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
    entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    
        Decided: April 18, 1997.
    
        By the Board, Chairman Morgan and Vice Chairman Owen.

    Secretary.
