EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION

Decision on Reconsideration

Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company, LLC

This is the determination ofthe Railroad Retirement Board on

reconsideration ofits decision dated March 3, 2003 (B.C.D. No. 03-23),

regarding the employer status of Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad 

Company, LLC (MBCR) as an employer under the Railroad Retirement Act 

(45 U.S.C. § 231 et seep) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45

U.S.C. § 351 etseq.).

As stated in the Board’s decision, MBCR has been selected by the

Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to operate the Authority’s

commuter rail system in the Boston area. MBCR will replace Amtrak as the

contractor, and is scheduled to begin operations ofthe Boston regional

commuter rail system as ofJuly 1, 2003. An agreement was entered into

effective January 10, 2003, between the Authority and MBCR. The

commuter rail system includes a line that is used to provide regular

commuter service between Boston, Massachusetts, and Providence, Rhode 

Island.

Accordingly, the Board determined that MBCR will be an employer within 

the meaning ofsection l(a)(l)(i) ofthe Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C.

§ 231 (a)( 1 )(i)) and the corresponding provision ofthe Railroad

Unemployment Insurance Act as ofJuly 1, 2003, the date as ofwhich it is

scheduled to begin operations.

In its request for reconsideration, MBCR states that an Operating Agreement 

was entered into February 19, 2003, and that since January 10, 2003, MBCR 

has been engaged in mobilization and transition activities pursuant to the

above-mentioned agreements. MBCR hired its first employee January 10,

2003, and plans to hire additional employees prior to July 1, 2003. MBCR

requests that the effective date of coverage be made January 10, 2003, rather 

than July 1, 2003.

BA#1910
Decision on Reconsideration

Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company, LLC

The Board concurs that MBCR should be covered from the date it first hires 

employees for the purpose ofsetting up its rail operation. Cf. Rev Ruling 

82-100, 1982-1 C.B. 155, wherein the Internal Revenue Service ruled that a

railroad becomes an employer subject to taxes under the Railroad 

Retirement Tax Act when the company first hires employees to perform

functions directly related to its carrier operations. Accordingly, the Board 

modifies its decision dated March 3, 2003, to hold that MBCR became an

employer under the Acts as ofJanuary 10, 2003.

_____________ Submitted: December 3, 1997

Filed: December 17, 1997

_____________ Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

_____________ PER CURIAM. Fol lowing the revocation of Harlan Dwaine' Porter's supervised release, th e district co urt sentenced Porter to a term of imprisonment followed by a new term o f supervisedrelease. On appeal, Porter contends the district court improperly added a new term of supervised release as part of Porter's revocation sentence. A discussion of the issue will serve no useful purpose because Porter's contention is foreclosed by the holdings of this court. See United States v . St. John , 92 F.3d 761, 766-67 (8th Cir. 1996). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.-2-
