BILLING CODE 6450–01–P

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Surface Transportation Board

49 CFR Chapter X

[STB Ex Parte No. 567]

Nomenclature Changes in the Board’s

Regulations

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.

ACTION: Final rules.

SUMMARY: The Board revises its

regulations to make nomenclature

changes to reflect the transfer of

functions from the Interstate Commerce

Commission to the Surface

Transportation Board.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These rules are effective

August 5, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James W. Greene, (202) 565–1578. [TDD

for the hearing impaired: (202) 565–

1695.]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Surface Transportation Board (Board) is

revising its regulations to reflect

nomenclature changes effected by the

ICC Termination Act of 1995, Pub. L.

No. 104–88, 109 Stat. 803 (1995)

(ICCTA). The ICCTA abolished the

Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)

and eliminated many of its functions.

Some of the ICC’s retained functions

were transferred directly to the Board,

while others were transferred directly to

the Secretary of Transportation (and

subsequently delegated to the Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA)). The

ICC’s regulations in 49 CFR chapter X

were, however, transferred en masse to

the Board, after which some were

subsequently transferred to the FHWA

and redesignated in 49 CFR chapter III.

In various rulemaking proceedings

that it has conducted since the ICCTA

was enacted, the Board has eliminated

or revised many of its regulations, and,

in the revised regulations, we have

made the necessary nomenclature

changes to reflect the transfer of

functions from the ICC to the Board.

Nevertheless, numerous regulations in

49 CFR Chapter X continue to contain

incorrect references to the ICC, and we

are revising those regulations to remove

the ICC references and add references to

the Board.1

Small Entities

The Board certifies that this rule will

not have a significant economic effect

on a substantial number of small

entities.

Environment

This action will not significantly

affect either the quality of the human

environment or the conservation of

energy resources.

Decided: July 29, 1997.

By the Board, Chairman Morgan and Vice

Chairman Owen.

Vernon A. Williams,

Secretary.

For the reasons set forth in the

preamble, parts 1002 through 1332

(except in part 1201 subpart A (ii)16.(a),

part 1206, part 1249, and part 1312) of

title 49, chapter X, of the Code of

Federal Regulations are amended as

follows:

In the list below, in the order listed,

remove the term indicated in the left

column from wherever it appears in

parts 1002 through 1332 (except in part

1201 subpart A (ii)16.(a), part 1206, part

1249, and part 1312), and add in its

place the term indicated in the right

column:
