	Surface Transportation Board Budget (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Overview: The Surface Transportation Board (STB) is charged with promoting substantive and procedural regulatory reform in the economic regulation of surface transportation, and with providing an efficient and effective forum for the resolution of disputes and the facilitation of appropriate business transactions.
		In the performance of its functions, the STB seeks to resolve matters brought before it fairly and expeditiously through the use of its regulatory exemption authority, the streamlining of the decisional process, and the consistent application of legal and equitable principles.
		The STB, established in 1996 pursuant to the ICC Termination Act of 1995, is responsible for the economic regulation of the rail industry and the transportation of commodities by pipeline other than oil and gas.

		The STB was created to replace the ICC, which had been charged with playing to the interests of the trucking industry and being generally useless due to deregulation.
		The STB is decisionally independent, although it is administratively affiliated with the Department of Transportation.
		The STB Office of General Counsel provides legal advice to the STB and defends agency actions that are challenged in court.

	No. 01-939: Swonger v. Surface Transportation Board - Opposition
		The arbitrator concluded that a public transportation benefit would result from the hub-and-spoke operation at Salina and that both the seniority provisions and the establishment of Herington as the home terminal were related to the successful implementation of that hub-and-spoke operation.
		Surface Transportation Board, 108 F.3d 1425 (1997), the court of appeals recognized that seniority rights must be modified in some manner in nearly all railroad mergers.
		In United Transportation Union, the D.C. Circuit, like the court of appeals here (id. at 8), sustained the Board's conclusion that "rights, privileges, and benefits" are those collective "incidents of employment, ancillary emoluments or fringe benefits" like life insurance, medical care, and sick leave, but do not extend to such individualized concerns as seniority.

		As a result of these hearings, the Board has done what is within its authority to help shippers obtain some relief.

		The recommendations of this Board on all forms of transportation over the years of its existence, since 1969, have saved countless lives, made transportation safer, made America a better place, but your continued vigilance is necessary because safety is only a matter of seconds.
		Congress and the Board have been aware of theunacceptable state of pipeline safety for many years, have made numerous recommendations, and have given the Office of Pipeline Safety at the Department of Transportation guidance and the steps needed to be taken.
		The Safety Board found that the subsequent efforts by the pipeline operator to measure the extent of the wall thinning were insufficient and did not reveal the full extent of corrosion damage.

	Surface Transportation Board Finds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Surface Transportation Board (Board) Chairman Linda J. Morgan announced today that the Board has issued a decision finding that more study is needed concerning the Riverview Trenton Railroad Company's (RTR) attempt to launch a controversial intermodal operation near the Detroit River, in Wayne County, Michigan.
		The Board concluded that its summary procedures, allowing through a "class exemption" from regulation approval that takes effect shortly after public notice is given, are not appropriate for RTR's proposal to use certain property along the Detroit River to establish an intermodal facility and begin railroad operations there.
		Accordingly, the Board revoked the exemption that had been in place under the notice of exemption and provided for the filing of supplemental information in connection with the petition for exemption so that the Board could give the proposal the more-detailed scrutiny necessary before reaching a final decision on that request.
