transportation carriers operating in interstate and foreign commerce.
The ICC Termination Act of 1995, Public Law 104-88, 109 Stat. 803
(1995), which took effect on January 1, 1996 abolished the Interstate
Commerce Commission and transferred the responsibility for regulating
rail transportation, including the proposed abandonment and
discontinuance of rail lines, to the Surface Transportation Board. The
Board needs, in each abandonment exemption proceeding, a detailed map
of the rail line, depicting its relation to other rail lines, roads,
water routes, and population centers. The Board will use this
information to facilitate informed decision making. Respondents will be
railroads initiating abandonment exemption proceedings.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
