SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. EP 730 (Sub-No. 1)] 

Roster of Arbitrators—Annual Update 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 11708, the 

Board’s regulations establish a voluntary 

and binding arbitration process to 

resolve rail rate and practice complaints 

that are subject to the Board’s 

jurisdiction. Section 11708(f) provides 

that, unless parties otherwise agree, an 

arbitrator or panel of arbitrators shall be 

selected from a roster maintained by the 

Board. Accordingly, the Board’s rules 

establish a process for creating and 

maintaining a roster of arbitrators. 49 

CFR 1108.6(b). 

The Board most recently updated its 

roster of arbitrators by decision served 

February 23, 2024. The roster is 

published on the Board’s website at 

www.stb.gov (click the ‘‘Resources’’ tab, 

select ‘‘Litigation Alternatives’’ from the 

dropdown menu, click on the 

‘‘Arbitration’’ link, and click on the 

‘‘Roster of Arbitrators’’ link). 

As provided under 49 CFR 1108.6(b), 

the Board updates the roster of 

arbitrators annually. Accordingly, the 

Board is now requesting the names and 

qualifications of new arbitrators who 

wish to be placed on the roster. Current 

arbitrators who wish to remain on the 

roster must notify the Board of their 

continued availability and confirm that 

the biographical information on file 

with the Board remains accurate and, if 

not, provide any necessary updates. 

Arbitrators who do not confirm their 

continued availability will be removed 

from the roster. This decision will be 

served on all current arbitrators. 

Any person who wishes to be added 

to the roster should file an application 

that describes the applicant’s experience 

with rail transportation and economic 

regulation, as well as professional or 

business experience, including 

agriculture, in the private sector. The 

submission should also describe the 

applicant’s training in dispute 

resolution and/or experience in 

arbitration or other forms of dispute 

resolution, including the number of 

years of experience. Lastly, the 

submission should provide the 

applicant’s contact information and 

information on fees. 

All comments—including filings from 

new applicants, updates to existing 

arbitrator information, and 

confirmations of continued 

availability—should be submitted either 

via e-filing on the Board’s website or in 

writing addressed to 395 E Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20423–0001 by January 

27, 2025. The Board will assess each 

new applicant’s qualifications to 

determine which individuals can ably 

serve as arbitrators based on the criteria 

established under 49 CFR 1108.6(b). The 

Board will then establish an updated 

roster of arbitrators. The roster will 

include a brief biographical sketch of 

each arbitrator, including information 

such as background, area(s) of expertise, 

arbitration experience, and geographical 

location, as well as contact information 

and fees. The roster will be published 

on the Board’s website. 

It is ordered: 

1. Applications from persons 

interested in being added to the Board’s 

roster of arbitrators, and confirmations 

of continued availability (with updates, 

if any, to existing arbitrator information) 

from persons currently on the 

arbitration roster, are due by January 27, 

2025. 

2. This decision will be served on all 

current arbitrators and published in the 

Federal Register. 

3. This decision is effective on the 

date of service. 

Decided: December 27, 2024.

Director, Office of Proceedings.
