Huneke, Director, Office of Economics. Jeffrey Herzig, Clearance Clerk. Indexing the Annual Operating Revenues of Railroads The Surface Transportation Board (STB) is publishing the annual inflationadjusted index factors for 2012. These factors are used by the railroads to adjust their gross annual operating revenues for classification purposes. This indexing methodology insures 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 (BLS). The STB’s deflator factor is used to deflate revenues for comparison with established revenue thresholds. The base year for railroads is 1991.

Background

    On July 22, 2004, President Bush issued Executive Order 13348 
(``the order'' or ``EO 13348''), finding that the actions and policies 
of former Liberian President Charles Taylor and other persons, in 
particular their unlawful depletion of Liberian resources and their 
removal from Liberia, and secreting of Liberian funds and property, 
undermined Liberia's transition to democracy, the orderly development 
of Liberia's political, administrative, and economic institutions and 
resources, and fueled and exacerbated other conflicts throughout West 
Africa. The President found that the actions, policies, and 
circumstances described above constituted an unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the foreign policy of the United States and declared a 
national emergency to deal with that threat.
    The order included 28 persons in the Annex, which resulted in the 
blocking of all property or interests in property of these persons that 
was or thereafter came within the United States or the possession or 
control of U.S. persons. The order authorizes the Secretary of the 
Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to designate 
additional persons or entities determined to meet certain criteria set 
forth in EO 13348.
    The order also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in 
consultation with the Secretary of State, to determine that 
circumstances no longer warrant the inclusion of a person in the Annex 
to EO 13348 and to unblock any property or interests in property that 
had been blocked as a result of the person's inclusion in the Annex.
    On April 2, 2013, the Deputy Director of OFAC, on behalf of the 
Director of OFAC, removed from the list of Specially Designated
