INTERSTATE COMMERCE

COMMISSION

[Ex Parte No. 290 (Sub-No. 4)]

Railroad Cost Recovery ProceduresProductivity Adjustment

AGENCY: Interstate Commerce

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of proposed action.

SUMMARY: The Commission proposes to

adopt its estimate of railroad

productivity change for 1993 and

incorporate it, along with previously

calculated data, into a 1989–1993 (5-

year) average. Estimated average

productivity growth is 1.097 for 1993.

Estimated annual productivity for the 5-

year 1989–1993 period is 1.059 or 5.9%

per year. Because the methodology for

calculating the productivity adjustment

and the length of the averaging period

have already been adopted, comments

are limited to data and computational

errors.

DATES: Comments are due March 6,

1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert C. Hasek, (202) 927–6239 or H.

the hearing impaired: (202) 927–5721).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Rail

Cost Adjustment Factor is a quarterly

index that measures changes in railroad

expenses. A productivity adjustment is

used to adjust the quarterly Rail Cost

Adjustment Factor for productivity

improvements.

Additional information is contained

in the Commission’s decision. To
