Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 205 / Monday, October 26, 2009 / Notices 55087 

determination of railroad revenue 

adequacy. A railroad is considered 

revenue adequate under 49 U.S.C. 

10704(a) if it achieves a rate of return on 

net investment (ROI) equal to at least 

the current cost of capital for the 

railroad industry. For 2008, the railroad 

industry’s cost of capital was 

determined to be 11.75%. See Railroad 

Cost of Capital—2008, STB Ex Parte No. 

558 (Sub-No. 12) (STB served Sept. 25, 

2009). This revenue adequacy figure 

was compared with ROI data from each 

Class I railroad, and one carrier was 

found to be revenue adequate for 2008. 

The Board’s decision in this 

proceeding is posted on the Board’s 

Web site at http://www.stb.dot.gov 

under ‘‘E-Library,’’ and ‘‘Decisions & 

Notices.’’ 

This action will not significantly 

affect either the quality of the human 

environment or the conservation of 

energy resources. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), we 

conclude that our action in this 

proceeding will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. The purpose 

and effect of the action is merely to 

update the annual railroad industry 

revenue adequacy finding. No new 

reporting or other regulatory 

requirements are imposed, directly or 

indirectly, on small entities. 

Decided: October 16, 2009.
