22010 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 13, 2022 / Notices 

3The Board is directing BNSF, CSXT, NSR, and 

UP to appear because most recent service issues 

involve these four carriers. Additionally, other 

carriers and interested persons are invited to 

participate. The Board notes that it is prepared to 

address service problems with respect to any of the 

Class I carriers, as appropriate. 

4 In response to letters from Chairman Martin J. 

Oberman dated May 27, 2021, October 18, 2021, 

and November 23, 2021, Class I carriers have 

provided the Board with information about their 

service performance and workforce levels. 

Chairman Oberman’s letters and Class I carriers’ 

responsive letters are available on the Board’s 

website at www.stb.gov (open tab ‘‘News & 

Communications’’ & select ‘‘Non-Docketed Public 

Correspondence’’). While the Board appreciates the 

information that Class I carriers have provided thus 

far, the trends discussed above demonstrate that 

service has continued to deteriorate, and the 

ongoing service problems and crew shortages 

indicate that the Class I carriers need to take 

additional steps to ensure adequate service. 

Accordingly, BNSF, CSXT, NSR, and UP should 

prepare to discuss at the hearing, with specificity, 

their most recent efforts to improve service and 

their proposed timeline for recovery. 

5The Board’s public hearing is not intended to 

replace the informal and confidential dispute 

resolution process facilitated by the Board’s Rail 

Customer and Public Assistance, and stakeholders 

are encouraged to continue communicating through 

that office. 

organizations, and other interested 

persons. 

Given the serious nature of the service 

issues reported to the Board, in addition 

to providing as much visibility as 

possible to all aspects of the current 

service issues, the Board expects the 

information provided at the hearing to 

inform any potential future Board 

actions to ameliorate the problems that 

have been reported. 

The Board will hold a public hearing 

on April 26 and 27, 2022, beginning at 

9:30 a.m. each day, at its offices in 

Washington, DC, to hear firsthand from 

senior officials of BNSF, CSXT, NSR, 

and UP, as well as affected shippers, 

shipper organizations, and labor 

organizations, about rail service and 

efforts to improve service. The Board 

will direct executive-level officials, 

including operating and human 

resources officials, of BNSF, CSXT, 

NSR, and UP to appear 3 at the hearing 

to discuss their recent rail service 

problems and their ongoing and 

planned efforts to improve service, 

including detailed plans outlining the 

steps needed to improve service.4 The 

Board will also direct BNSF, CSXT, 

NSR, and UP to address the extent to 

which crew shortages, particularly in 

the context of past employment 

reductions and current hiring 

difficulties, may have contributed to 

these service problems, and their plans, 

if any, to change and improve their 

hiring and employee retention policies 

to alleviate the acute crew shortages that 

appear to be among the central causes 

of the current service issues. In addition 

to the required participation of BNSF, 

CSXT, NSR, and UP, because the abovediscussed problems have also been 

occurring to some degree on an 

industry-wide basis, the Board invites 

and will welcome the attendance of 

executive-level officials, including 

operating and human resources officials, 

of CN, KCS, and CP, and invites any 

other interested carriers to participate. 

The Board also encourages affected 

rail customers, shipper organizations, 

labor organizations, and other interested 

parties to appear at the public hearing 

to discuss their service concerns and 

comment on carriers’ efforts toward 

service recovery.5
