Surface Transportation Board
Indexing the Annual Operating
Revenues of Railroads
The Surface Transportation Board
(STB) is publishing the annual inflationadjusted index factors for 2007. These
factors are used by the railroads to
E:\FR\FM\09OCN1.SGM
09OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 197 / Thursday, October 9, 2008 / Notices
adjust their gross annual operating
revenues for classification purposes.
This indexing methodology ensures that
railroads are classified based on real
business expansion and not from the
affects of inflation. Classification is
important because it determines the
extent to which individual railroads
must comply with STB reporting
requirements.
The STB’s annual inflation-adjusted
factors are based on the annual average
Railroad’s Freight Price Index, which is
developed by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The STB’s deflator factor is
used to deflate revenues for comparison
with established revenue thresholds.
The base year for railroads is 1991.
The inflation index factors are presented
as follows:

OMB Control No.: 1557–0140.
Description: This submission covers

Under 12 U.S.C. 92a, the OCC

national banks, including the
administration of collective investment
funds. The requirements in 12 CFR part

9.18(b)(1), 9.18(b)(6)(ii), 9.18(b)(6)(iv),
and 9.18(c)(5) as follows:
• Section 9.8 requires a national bank
to maintain fiduciary records;
• Section 9.9(a) and (b) require a
national bank to note the results of a
fiduciary audit in the minutes of the
board of directors;
• Section 9.17(a) requires a national
bank that wants to surrender its
fiduciary powers to file with the OCC a
certified copy of the resolution of its
board of directors;
• Section 9.18(b)(1) requires a
national bank to establish and maintain
each collective investment fund in
accordance with a written plan;
• Section 9.18(b)(1) also requires a
national bank to make the plan available
for public inspection and to provide a
copy of the plan to any person who
requests it;
• Section 9.18(b)(6)(ii) requires a
national bank to prepare a financial
report of the fund;
• Section 9.18(b)(6)(iv) requires a
national bank to disclose the financial
report to investors and other interested
persons; and
• Section 9.18(c)(5) requires a
national bank to request OCC approval
of special exemption funds.
