18Parties intending to submit spreadsheets in

formats other than Lotus 1–2–3 Version 7 may wish

to consult with our staff regarding such

submissions. Some (though not all) spreadsheets

prepared in other formats, though perhaps not

convertible by and into Lotus 1–2–3 Version 7, may

nevertheless be useable by our staff. For further

information, contact Julia M. Farr, (202) 565–1613.

19The protective order governing this proceeding

was entered in Decision No. 1 (served April 16,

1997), and has been modified, in minor respects, in

Decision Nos. 4, 15, 22, and 46 (served May 2, 1997,

August 1, 1997, August 21, 1997, and October 17,

1997, respectively).

20The electronic submission requirements set

forth in this decision supersede, for the purposes

of this proceeding, the otherwise applicable

electronic submission requirements set forth in our

regulations. See 49 CFR 1104.3(a), as amended in

Expedited Procedures for Processing Rail Rate

Reasonableness, Exemption and Revocation

Proceedings, STB Ex Parte No. 527, 61 FR 52710,

1996).

Pleadings Not Treated as Responsive

Applications

A pleading styled as a ‘‘responsive

application’’ was filed on October 21,

1997, in a sub-number docket (Sub-No.

74) under the STB Finance Docket No.

33388 lead docket by Congressman

Dennis J. Kucinich. While titled as a

responsive application, this pleading

does not address the criteria for such

applications as required under 49 CFR

part 1180. Rather, this pleading

constitutes a comment on, and a request

for conditions with respect to, the CSX/

NS/CR primary application, and we will

treat it as such and will docket this

pleading in the STB Finance Docket No.

33388 lead docket.

Certain additional pleadings styled as

‘‘responsive applications’’ were filed in

the STB Finance Docket No. 33388 lead

docket on or about October 21, 1997, by:

Jacobs Industries Ltd.; the State of

Delaware Department of Transportation;

ASHTA Chemicals Inc.; Southern Tier

West Regional Planning and

Development Board; and Resources

Warehousing & Consolidation Services,

Inc. Because these pleadings also do not

satisfy the 49 CFR part 1180

requirements applicable to responsive

applications, we will treat these

pleadings as comments on, and/or

requests for conditions with respect to,

the CSX/NS/CR primary application.

Additional Pleadings Treated as Filed

in Lead Docket

Certain additional pleadings filed on

or about October 21, 1997, though not

labeled ‘‘responsive applications,’’ were

filed in various sub-number dockets

under the STB Finance Docket No.

33388 lead docket by: Northern Virginia

Transportation Commission and

Potomac and Rappahannock

Transportation Commission (in Sub-No.

37); New Jersey Department of

Transportation and New Jersey Transit

Corporation (in Sub-No. 38); the Rhode

Island Department of Transportation (in

Sub-No. 42); Buffalo & Pittsburgh

Railroad, Inc., Allegheny & Eastern

Railroad, Inc., Rochester & Southern

Railroad, Inc., and Pittsburgh &

Shawmut Railroad, Inc. (in Sub-Nos. 43,

44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, and

56); the Eastern Shore Railroad, Inc. (in

Sub-No. 57); Louisville & Indiana

Railroad Company (in Sub-No. 64);

Housatonic Railroad Company, Inc. (in

Sub-No. 70); the Canadian Pacific

Railway Company, Delaware and

Hudson Railway Company, Inc., Soo

Line Railroad Company, and St.

Lawrence & Hudson Railway Company

Limited (in Sub-No. 85); and the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts (in

Sub-No. 86). Because these pleadings

contain comments on, and/or requests

for conditions with respect to, the CSX/

NS/CR primary application, they will be

docketed in, and they will be treated as

having been filed in, the STB Finance

Docket No. 33388 lead docket.

Electronic Submissions

In addition to submitting an original

and 25 paper copies of each document

filed with the Board, parties are also

requested to submit, on diskettes (3.5-

inch IBM-compatible floppies) or

compact discs, one electronic copy of

each such document. Textual materials

must be in, or be convertible by and

into, WordPerfect 7.0. Spreadsheets

must be in, or be convertible by and

into, Lotus 1–2–3 Version 7.18 Each

diskette or compact disc should be

clearly labeled with the identification

acronym and number of the

corresponding paper document, see 49

CFR 1180.4(a)(2), and a copy of such

diskette or compact disc should be

provided to any other party upon

request. The data contained on the

diskettes and compact discs submitted

to the Board will be subject to the

protective order applicable to this

proceeding,19 and will be for the

exclusive use of Board employees

reviewing substantive and/or procedural

matters in this proceeding. The

flexibility provided by such computer

data will facilitate timely review by the

Board and its staff.20

This action will not significantly

affect either the quality of the human

environment or the conservation of

energy resources.

It is ordered:

1. The responsive applications in STB

Finance Docket No. 33388 (Sub-Nos. 35,

36, 39, 59, 61, 62, 63, 69, 72, 75, 76, 77,

78, 80, and 81), and the notice of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

A document published in the Federal

Register (62 FR 51181) on September

30, 1997, notified the trade community

of changes to the prototype National

Customs Automation Program test of

reconciliation, set forth the policy

which makes the NCAP prototype the

exclusive means to reconcile entries

pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1484(b) and

announced that the prototype will

henceforth be referred to as the

Automated Commercial System (ACS)

Reconciliation Prototype. That notice

invited public comments concerning

any aspect of the planned test, informed

interested members of the public of the

requirements for voluntary

participation, and established the

process for developing evaluation

criteria.

Public comments were requested by

November 14, 1997. Due to a public

meeting (see notice published in the

Federal Register (62 FR 58769)

published on October 30, 1997) which

included discussions of the Prototype,

an additional comment period is being

granted to allow persons to comment

with these discussions in mind.

Comments are now being requested by

December 15, 1997.
