consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of 

the Act.25

FICC does not believe the proposed 

corrections and technical changes to the 

GSD QRM Methodology Document and 

the proposed clarification to the MBSD 

QRM Methodology Document described 

above would have any impact on 

competition. These proposed changes 

would enhance QRM Methodology 

Documents by providing additional 

clarity and accuracy. The proposed 

changes referenced above would not 

advantage or disadvantage any 

particular member of FICC or unfairly 

inhibit access to FICC’s services. FICC 

therefore does not believe these 

proposed changes would have any 

impact, or impose any burden, on 

competition.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. 526 (Sub-No. 19)] 

Notice of Railroad-Shipper 

Transportation Advisory Council 

Vacancy 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board 

(Board). 

ACTION: Notice of vacancy on the 

Railroad-Shipper Transportation 

Advisory Council (RSTAC) and 

solicitation of nominations. 

SUMMARY: The Board hereby gives notice 

of a vacancy on RSTAC for a large 

railroad representative. The Board seeks 

nominations for candidates to fill this 

vacancy. 

DATES: Nominations are due on March 

7, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Nominations may be 

submitted via e-filing on the Board’s 

website at www.stb.gov. Submissions 

will be posted to the Board’s website 

under Docket No. EP 526 (Sub-No. 19). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Gabriel Meyer at (202) 245–0150. If you 

require an accommodation under the 

Americans with Disabilities Act, please 

call (202) 240–0245 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Board, created in 1996 to take over 

many of the functions previously 

performed by the Interstate Commerce 

Commission, exercises broad authority 

over transportation by rail carriers, 

including regulation of railroad rates 

and service (49 U.S.C. 10701–47, 

11101–24), the construction, 

acquisition, operation, and 

abandonment of rail lines (49 U.S.C. 

10901–07), as well as railroad line sales, 

consolidations, mergers, and common 

control arrangements (49 U.S.C. 10902, 

11323–27). 

The ICC Termination Act of 1995 

(ICCTA), enacted on December 29, 1995, 

established RSTAC to advise the Board’s 

Chair; the Secretary of Transportation; 

the Committee on Commerce, Science, 

and Transportation of the Senate; and 

the Committee on Transportation and 

Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives with respect to rail 

transportation policy issues RSTAC 

considers significant. RSTAC focuses on 

issues of importance to small shippers 

and small railroads, including car 

supply, rates, competition, and 

procedures for addressing claims. 

ICCTA instructs RSTAC to endeavor to 

develop private sector mechanisms to 

prevent, or identify and address, 

obstacles to the most effective and 

efficient transportation system 

practicable. The members of RSTAC 

also prepare an annual report 

concerning RSTAC’s activities. RSTAC 

is not subject to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. 

RSTAC’s 15 appointed members 

consist of representatives of small and 

large shippers, and small and large 

railroads. These members are appointed 

by the Chair. In addition, members of 

the Board and the Secretary of 

Transportation serve as ex officio 

members. Of the 15 appointed members, 

nine are voting members and are 

appointed from senior executive officers 

of organizations engaged in the railroad 

and rail shipping industries. At least 

four of the voting members must be 

representatives of small shippers as 

determined by the Chair, and at least 

four of the voting members must be 

representatives of Class II or III 

railroads. The remaining voting member 

has traditionally been an at-large 

representative. The other six members— 

three representing Class I railroads and 

three representing large shipper 

organizations—serve in a nonvoting, 

advisory capacity, but may participate 

in RSTAC deliberations. 

Meetings of RSTAC are required by 

statute to be held at least semi-annually. 

RSTAC typically holds meetings 

quarterly at the Board’s headquarters in 

Washington, DC, although some 

meetings are held virtually or in other 

locations. 

The members of RSTAC receive no 

compensation for their services and are 

required to provide for the expenses 

incidental to their service, including 

travel expenses. Currently, RSTAC 

members have elected to submit annual 

dues to pay for RSTAC expenses. 

RSTAC members must be citizens of 

the United States and represent as 

broadly as practicable the various 

segments of the railroad and rail shipper 

industries. They may not be full-time 

employees of the United States 

Government. According to revised 

guidance issued by the Office of 

Management and Budget, it is 

permissible for federally registered 

lobbyists to serve on advisory 

committees, such as RSTAC, as long as 

they do so in a representative capacity, 

rather than an individual capacity. See 

Revised Guidance on Appointment of 

Lobbyists to Fed. Advisory Comms., 

Bds., & Comm’ns, 79 FR 47,482 (Aug. 

13, 2014). Members of RSTAC are 

appointed to serve in a representative 

capacity. 

Each RSTAC member is appointed for 

a term of three years. No member will 

be eligible to serve in excess of two 

consecutive terms. However, a member 

may serve after the expiration of his or 

her term until a successor has taken 

office.
