Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 17 / Thursday, January 27, 2005 / Notices
classifications, and certain ancillary
activities. Board authorization
immunizes activities taken under the
approved agreements from the antitrust
laws. Under section 13703(c), the Board
must, every 5 years, institute a
proceeding to review the motor carrier
bureau agreements previously approved
under section 13703 and shall change
the conditions of approval of an
agreement or terminate it when
necessary to protect the public interest.
Invoking this provision in a notice
served on December 13, 2004, and
published in the Federal Register at 69
FR 75597 on December 17, 2004, the
Board commenced the statutorily
required review proceeding.
In its notice, the Board expressed a
desire to update its records as to which
bureaus are still operating. The Board
stated that its records indicate that
approvals for the agreements of the
following bureaus have expired for lack
of timely compliance with the
conditions on renewal imposed by the
Board during the prior review cycle: 1
Machinery Haulers Association, Inc.;
Motor Carriers Traffic Association;
Nationwide Bulk Trucking Association,
Inc.; New England Motor Rate Bureau;
and Willamette Tariff Bureau, Inc. The
Board asked each affected bureau to
notify the agency if its records are
incorrect.
On December 29, 2004, two of the
aforementioned bureaus—the
Nationwide Bulk Trucking Association,
Inc., and the Machinery Haulers
Association, Inc.—filed information
showing that the Board’s prior
assessment of their compliance status
was incorrect and that, therefore, Board
authorization of their bureau agreements
has not expired. By this notice, the
Board is notifying the public that its
records have been corrected to show
that the antitrust immunity for these
bureaus continues in force.
Concerning the extension of the
deadlines for comments, the Board is
taking this action at the request of the
National Motor Freight Traffic
Association and its subsidiary, the
National Classification Committee, by
motion filed on January 6, 2005. They
state that the extension is necessary to
provide sufficient time to make sure that
their comments properly reflect the
views of their members.
1 In EC–MAC Motor Carriers Service Association,
Inc., et al., STB Section 5a Application No. 118
(Sub-No. 2), et al. (STB served Oct. 16, 2003), the
Board summarily approved the agreements of
certain bureaus after noting their full compliance
with the required conditions, and, for other
bureaus, the Board listed the specific steps required
for individual bureau compliance.

affect either the quality of the human
environment or the conservation of
energy resources.
Decided: January 19, 2005.
By the Board, Chairman Nober, Vice
Chairman Buttrey, and Commissioner
Mulvey.
