		The Association of American Railroads (AAR reporting mark AAR) is an industry trade group representing the freight railroads of North America (Canada, Mexico and the United States).
		AAR was created October 12, 1934 by the merger of five industry-related groups:
		One of the AAR's duties is to oversee the assignment of reporting marks – two to four letter codes that uniquely identify the owner of any piece of railroad rolling stock or intermodal freight transport equipment (trailers, semi-trailers containers, etc.) that can be carried on a railroad.

		The freight railroad members operate 76 percent of the line-haul mileage, employ approximately 90 percent of the workers, and account for approximately 93 percent of the freight revenues of all railroads in the United States.
		In addition, AAR member railroads operate on longstanding rights-of-way granted by the federal government that cross dozens of different Indian reservations in the United States, and some of their railroads also run through areas located adjacent to Indian reservations, but within areas over which Indian tribes or groups assert civil jurisdiction.
		Railroads have little or no voice in tribal governments and, like other nonmember businesses, are targets for taxing and other revenue raising efforts tribes may seek to impose without adversely affecting their own members.

	Reporting mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A reporting mark is an identification assigned by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) to rail carriers and other companies operating in North America.
		An AAR reporting mark is a sequence of two to four letters that uniquely identifies the owner of a piece of railroad rolling stock.
		Where multiple railroads are listed on a reporting mark, their order indicates the order of the mark's assignment; the succession is usually through mergers or buyouts.

		In 1986 and 1987, AAR, which represents virtually every major American railroad, filed hundreds of PLMR applications for thousands of base stations, seeking authorization to use six specific frequency pairs in the 900 MHz band.
		Order required that AAR submit a final report at the end of the ten-year period identifying the locations of all base stations and the number of mobile units associated with those stations.
		AAR argues that its proposal, by eliminating the need for the filing and review of an individual modification application every time an ATCS/PTC station is relocated, will both streamline the Commission’s licensing processes and provide AAR with needed flexibility in choosing where to deploy ATCS/PTC base stations.
