The Board
is required to make an annual
determination of railroad revenue
adequacy. A railroad is considered
revenue adequate under 49 U.S.C.
10704(a) if it achieves a rate of return on
net investment (ROI) equal to at least
the current cost of capital for the
railroad industry. For 2006, the railroad
industry’s cost of capital was
determined to be 9.94%. See Railroad
Cost of Capital—2006, STB Ex Parte No.
558 (Sub-No. 10) (STB served Apr. 15,
2008). This revenue adequacy figure
was compared with ROI data from each
Class I railroad, and three carriers were
found to be revenue adequate for 2006.
The Board’s decision in this
proceeding is posted on the Board’s
Web site at www.stb.dot.gov under
‘‘E-Library,’’ and ‘‘Decisions & Notices.’’
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Environmental and Energy
Considerations
This action will not significantly
affect either the quality of the human
environment or the conservation of
energy resources.
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), we
conclude that our action in this
proceeding will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The purpose
and effect of the action is merely to
update the annual railroad industry
revenue adequacy finding. No new
reporting or other regulatory
requirements are imposed, directly or
indirectly, on small entities.
