AGENCY:

Surface Transportation Board, DOT.

ACTION:

Stay of effective date.

SUMMARY:

This document contains corrections to the preamble of the Board's Final Rules, which was published in the Federal Register of Wednesday, June 18, 2008 (73 FR 34649). The Final Rules adopted the 2008 User Fee Update and revised the fee schedule to reflect increased costs associated with the January 2008 Government salary increases, and the Board's overhead costs, and to reflect changes in Government fringe benefits. After the rules were published, an inadvertent error involving the effective dates of the rules was noticed. The effective dates of these final rules are July 18, 2008, rather than June 18, 2008.

DATES:

The amendments to 49 CFR 1002.1 (a) through (e), (f)(1), and (g)(6), and 49 CFR 1002.2(f), published June 18, 2008 (73 FR 34649) are stayed until July 18, 2008.
