SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
common carrier obligation refers to the
statutory duty of railroads to provide
‘‘transportation or service on reasonable
request.’’ 49 U.S.C. 11101(a). A railroad
may not refuse to provide service
merely because to do so would be
inconvenient or unprofitable. G.S.
Roofing Prods. Co. v. Surface Transp.
Bd., 143 F.3d 387, 391 (8th Cir. 1998).
The common carrier obligation,
however, is not absolute, id., and service
requests must be reasonable. See 49
U.S.C. 11101(a). In recent years, the
Board has seen an increasing number of
questions arising, both formally and
informally, regarding the extent of a
railroad’s common carrier obligation. As
a result, this hearing seeks to highlight
the importance of the common carrier
obligation, to provide a better
understanding of it, and to assist the
Board in its monitoring and compliance
work.
The hearing will focus on various
topics related to the extent of the
common carrier obligation, including,
but not limited to: (1) Service limitation
resulting from a capacity constrained
environment; (2) cost and safety issues
related to the transportation of
hazardous materials, especially toxic
inhalation hazards; (3) carrier-imposed
requirements for infrastructure
investments by shippers; (4) the impact
of volume requirements or incentives;
(5) economically motivated service
reductions and metering of the demand
for service; (6) the proper use of rail

embargoes; (7) when it becomes
necessary to obtain abandonment
authorization; and (8) to whom does the
common carrier obligation apply. The
hearing will also address the role of the
Board’s Office of Compliance and
Consumer Assistance in ensuring that
carriers meet their common carrier
obligation.
Date of Hearing. The hearing will
begin at 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 24,
2008, in the 1st floor hearing room at
the Board’s headquarters at 395 E Street,
SW., in Washington, DC, and will
