[STB Finance Docket No. 27590 (Sub–No.2)]

TTX Co., et al.—Application for

Approval of the Pooling of Car Service

With Respect to Flat Cars

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board,

DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request for comments.

SUMMARY: In this proceeding, the

Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)

provided for the monitoring of TTX

Company (TTX) during the 10-year term

of its pooling extension. The Board now

proposes to reopen this proceeding to

take comments from interested parties

on whether any of TTX’s activities

require any action or particular

oversight on the Board’s part at this

time.

DATES: Comments are due on May 6,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Send comments (an original

and 10 copies) referring to STB Finance

Docket No. 27590 (Sub-No.2) to: Surface

Transportation Board, Office of the

Secretary, Case Control Branch, 1925 K.

0001. Two copies of all filings should be

sent separately to the Board’s Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a 1994

decision approving a 10-year extension

of TTX’s pooling authority,1 the ICC

required its Office of Compliance and

Enforcement (OCE) to monitor TTX’s

operations and to report on any

problems at the end of the third and

seventh years. Pursuant to the ICC

Termination Act of 1995, Public Law

104–88, 109 Stat. 803 (1995) (ICCTA),

effective January 1, 1996, the ICC was

abolished; a number of its functions

were eliminated; and its remaining rail

and certain non-rail functions were

transferred to the Surface

Transportation Board (Board), newly

established under ICCTA.

Because the authority over TTX’s

pooling arrangement was transferred to

the Board under ICCTA, the Board is

now responsible for monitoring TTX’s

activities. To carry out that

responsibility, the Board requests

comments on whether any of TTX’s

activities require any action or

particular oversight on the Board’s part

at this time. Any commenter wishing to

express a concern about any of TTX’s

activities should fully describe the

activity, the Concern, and the type of

Board action that the commenter

believes is appropriate. The comments

will be reviewed by OCE, and, based on

the issues raised, the Board will

determine whether any further action is

appropriate.

Request for Comments

We invite comments on these matters.

We encourage any commenter that has

the necessary technical wherewithal to

submit its comments as computer data

on a 3.5-inch floppy diskette formatted

for WordPerfect 7.0, or formatted so that

it can be readily converted into

WordPerfect 7.0. Any such diskette

submission (one diskette will be

sufficient) should be in addition to the

written submission (an original and 10

copies for the Board and two copies for

OCE).

Environment

This action will not significantly

affect either the quality of the human

environment or the conservation of

energy resources.

It is ordered:

1. Applicants, shippers, and other

interested parties may file comments

with the Board, as described above, on

whether any of TTX’s activities require

any action or particular oversight on the

Board’s part at this time.

2. Comments are due May 6, 1997.

3. This decision is being served on all

parties appearing on the service list in

Finance Docket No. 27590 (Sub-No.2).

4. This decision is effective on the

date of service.

Decided: February 26, 1997.

By the Board, Chairman Morgan and Vice

Chairman Owen.

Vernon A. Williams,

Secretary.
