SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
[Docket No. EP 682 (Sub-No. 8)]
2016 Tax Information for use In the
Revenue Shortfall Allocation Method
AGENCY:
Surface Transportation Board.
ACTION:
Notice.
The Board is publishing, and
providing the public an opportunity to
comment on, the 2016 weighted average
state tax rates for each Class I railroad,
as calculated by the Association of
American Railroads (AAR), for use in
the Revenue Shortfall Allocation
Method (RSAM).
DATES: Comments are due by July 5,
2017. If any comment opposing AAR’s
calculation is filed, AAR’s reply will be
due by July 25, 2017. If no comments
are filed by the due date, AAR’s
calculation of the 2016 weighted
average state tax rates will be
automatically adopted by the Board,
effective July 6, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted either via the Board’s e-filing
format or in traditional paper format.
Any person using e-filing should attach
a document and otherwise comply with
the instructions at the E–FILING link on
the Board’s Web site at https://
www.stb.gov. Any person submitting a
filing in the traditional paper format
should send an original and 10 copies
referring to Docket No. EP 682 (Sub-No.
8) to: Surface Transportation Board, 395
E Street SW., Washington, DC 20423–
0001.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jonathon Binet, (202) 245–0368.
Assistance for the hearing impaired is
available through the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at
(800) 877–8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
RSAM figure is one of three benchmarks
that together are used to determine the
reasonableness of a challenged rate
under the Board’s Simplified Standards
for Rail Rate Cases, EP 646 (Sub-No. 1),
slip op. at 10 (STB served Sept. 5,
2007),1 as further revised in Simplified
Standards for Rail Rate Cases—Taxes in
Revenue Shortfall Allocation Method,
EP 646 (Sub-No. 2) (STB served Nov. 21,
2008). RSAM is intended to measure the
average markup that the railroad would
need to collect from all of its
‘‘potentially captive traffic’’ (traffic with
a revenue-to-variable-cost ratio above
180%) to earn adequate revenues as
measured by the Board under 49 U.S.C.
10704(a)(2) (i.e., earn a return on
investment equal to the railroad
industry cost of capital). Simplified
Standards–Taxes in RSAM, slip op. at 1.
In Simplified Standards–Taxes in
RSAM, slip op. at 3, 5, the Board
modified its RSAM formula to account
for taxes, as the prior formula
mistakenly compared pre-tax and aftertax revenues. In that decision, the Board
stated that it would institute a separate
proceeding in which Class I railroads
would be required to submit the annual
tax information necessary for the
Board’s annual RSAM calculation. Id. at
5–6.
In Annual Submission of Tax
Information for Use in the Revenue
Shortfall Allocation Method, EP 682
(STB served Feb. 26, 2010), the Board
adopted rules to require AAR—a
national trade association—to annually
calculate and submit to the Board the
weighted average state tax rate for each
Class I railroad. See 49 CFR 1135.2(a).
On May 25, 2017, AAR filed its
calculation of the weighted average state
tax rates for 2016, listed below for each
Class I railroad:

Any party wishing to comment on
AAR’s calculation of the 2016 weighted
average state tax rates should file a
comment by July 5, 2017. See 49 CFR
1135.2(c). If any comments opposing
AAR’s calculations are filed, AAR’s
reply will be due by July 25, 2017. Id.
If any comments are filed, the Board
will review AAR’s submission, together
with the comments, and serve a
decision within 60 days of the close of
the record that either accepts, rejects, or
modifies AAR’s railroad-specific tax
information. Id. If no comments are filed
