regulation of surface 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. All railroads are required to keep

current system diagram maps on file.

These maps designated all lines in a

particular railroad’s sytem according to

various categories. Carriers are obligated

to amend these maps as the need to

change the caregories of particular lines

arose. If no amendment had taken place

within a one-yer period, a verified

statement to that effect must be filed

with the Board. The Board will use this

information to facilitate informed

decision making. Respondents will be

railroads initiating abandonment

exemption proceedings.
