		The Commission's seven members were appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate.
		The ICC's original purpose was to regulate railroads (and later trucking) to ensure fair rates, to eliminate rate discrimination, and to regulate other aspects of common carriers.

		The Commission's determination that the motor portion of Plan II TOFC/COFC service is "transportation provided by a rail carrier" and not "transportation provided by a motor carrier" is in accordance not only with the language of both the Staggers Act and the Motor Carrier Act but also with Congress' legislative objectives.

		The jurisdiction of this Court is invoked under 28 U.S.C. Whether petitioner, a union for railway employees, lacked standing to challenge the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission to exempt certain officers or directors of rail carriers from obtaining prior approval to hold the position of officer or director of another rail carrier.
		Section 11322(a) of the Interstate Commerce Act provides that a person may not hold the position of officer or director of more than one rail carrier without the ICC's authorization; the ICC, in turn, may authorize such interlocking directors or officers "when public or private interests will not be adversely affected." 49 U.S.C. 11322(a).
		And the ICC's exemption does not authorize the formation of any interlocking directorates that were not permissible under prior law; the ICC simply removed an impediment to establishing such relationships in the first instance.

		In April 1986, the court of appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that the Commission had inadequately analyzed several factors of rail transportation policy implicated by this class exemption and that the ICC order was therefore deficient under the applicable standards of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

		The ICC explained that although the states generally use rail plans as a blueprint of rail services necessary to support commercial interests crucial to a state's economy, lines generating no traffic are "unlikely to contribute to a State's business economy" (Pet.

		The Railroad Commission of Texas had its origin in the demands of the shipping public in the late 1880s which insisted that railroads be subject to regulation based on public interest.
		The Railroad Commission's authority was broadened beginning in 1917 with the passage of the Pipeline Petroleum Law, Senate Bill 68, 35th Legislature, Regular Session, that declared pipelines to be common carriers like railroads and placed them under the Commission's jurisdiction.
		These records were received by the Railroad Commission of Texas from the Interstate Commerce Commission and transferred to the Archives and Information Services Division of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission by the Railroad Commission at an unknown date.

		Legislators designed the law, which established a five-member enforcement board known as the Interstate Commerce Commission, largely in response to public demand that the railroads' conduct should be constrained.
		The states, however, were powerless to regulate interstate commerce, and the railroads were expanding their operations across more state borders all the time.
		The Transportation Act of 1940 amended the Interstate Commerce Act to extend its reach to the other industries, but the fact remained that while regulations were not relaxed on railroads, private cars, trucks, and 90 percent of inland water carriers were exempt from government control.

		The legislation that the Commission may recommend embraces, according to the arguments before us, anything and everything that may be conceived to be within the power of Congress to regulate, if it relates to commerce with foreign nations or among the several states.
		We are of opintion, on the contrary, that the purposes of the act for which the Commission may exact evidence embrace only complaints for violation of the act, and investigations by the Commission upon matters that might have been made the object of the complaint.
		Legislative power vested in Congress over interstate commerce embraces the whole country; and while it may be extremely inconvenient to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of the papers, etc., throughout a domain so large as ours, that consideration does not detract from the power of Congress over the subject-matter.

		Because the Commission found "the transaction does not involve an action subject to [its] jurisdiction," it also rejected the union's contention that the Agreement was an acquisition of "joint use" under section 11343(a)(6).
		Assume that prior to entering the agreement with N& W, METRA engaged in interstate transportation (the union claimed that it did) and for that reason was an existing carrier subject to the Commission's regulatory authority.
		The petition for review is granted, the Commission's declaratory order 10 is vacated, and the case is remanded to the Commission for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

		The Interstate Commerce Commission (icc), the nation's first independent regulatory agency, was established in 1887 after more than a decade of mounting complaints over railroad rates and practices.
		A Supreme Court decision in 1886 ruling that states could not regulate interstate railroads made federal action more urgent; by then the railroads themselves had come to believe that federal legislation would be more consistent and perhaps more moderate than the growing patchwork of state laws.
		The icc also regulated telephone, telegraph, and cable communication from 1910 until the establishment of the Federal Communications Commission in 1934 and monitored safety standards for railroads and trucks until the creation of the Department of Transportation in 1966.

		In 1983 the ICC exempted boxcar traffic from federal regulation, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded part of that decision to the ICC for further consideration.
		The court said the ICC had not adequately explained why regulation was unnecessary for joint rates for boxcar service.
		In conclusion, the FTC staff recommended that the ICC proceed with its original decision to exempt joint rates from regulation and allow railroads to negotiate such rates for boxcar service freely.

		For a century, the Commission has carried out its missions with dedication and with commitment to a national surface transportation system second to none.
