ACTION:
Final Decision.
The Surface Transportation
Board (Board) has approved the
settlement agreement (Agreement)
negotiated by the United States
Departments of Energy and Defense (the
Government) on the one hand and BNSF
Railway Company (BNSF) on the other
hand; prescribed the Agreement’s rate
and rate update methodology and
revenue-to-variable cost (R/VC) ratios as
the maximum reasonable rates; and
continued to hold these proceedings in
abeyance as to the remaining railroad
defendants to permit continued
settlement negotiations.
DATES: Effective Date: The decision is
effective on September 25, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a
decision served on August 26, 2013, the
Board, under 49 U.S.C. 10704, approved
the Agreement negotiated by the
Government and BNSF to settle these
rate reasonableness complaints as
between them only. The Agreement—
which applies broadly to the nationwide
movement on BNSF’s lines of irradiated
spent fuel, parts and constituents; spent
nuclear fuel moving from a foreign
country to the United States for
disposal; empty casks; radioactive waste
materials; and buffer and escort cars
(collectively, Covered Movements) and
is structured to cover movements to or
from unanticipated geographic areas or
in as-yet-unknown types of

equipment—is to be implemented by
BNSF tendering rate quotations to the
Government under 49 U.S.C. 10721.
In addition, the Board: (1) Prescribed
the Agreement’s rate and rate update
methodology and R/VC ratios (not to
exceed 1.80, 2.50, or 3.51 times the
shipment cost, depending on
commodity type, using BNSF’s most
current system-average variable costs
computed using the Board’s Uniform
Railroad Costing System) to establish
the maximum reasonable rates; (2)
dismissed BNSF as a defendant in these
proceedings; (3) extinguished all of
BNSF’s liability and that of its
predecessors and subsidiaries for all
reparations on past shipments of
Covered Movements in which they
participated, both insofar as the
Government is involved and insofar as
any connecting rail carrier may seek
contribution; (4) preserved the liability
of connecting carriers for reparations as
to their portion of the charges assessed
on through routes that include(d) BNSF;
(5) relieved BNSF from any further
requirement to participate in these
proceedings, except in response to a
properly issued subpoena under the
Board’s rules; and (6) continued to hold
these proceedings in abeyance, subject
to the Government reporting quarterly to
the Board on the progress of settlement
negotiations with remaining railroad
defendants.
The Board also: (1) Endorsed the
Agreement’s non-participation clause,
Paragraph 14, ‘‘Reparation Claims and
Rate Challenges Extinguished,’’ ruling
that it will not entertain crosscomplaints under 49 CFR 1111.4(c)
against BNSF in proceedings involving
the Government’s claims for reparations
against connecting carriers; (2) clarified
that the terms and obligations of the
Agreement, including the prescribed
rate and rate update methodologies and
maximum R/VC ratios, will be binding
only as between the Government and
BNSF, will have no precedential effect
as to the reasonableness of the rates or
the common carrier obligations of nonconsenting rail carrier parties in future
proceedings or negotiations, and will
not be considered a presumptive model
for negotiations between CSXT and the
Government; and (3 dismissed BNSF as
a party from (a) the Government’s
pending motion, filed in this proceeding
on October 3, 1994, to sever issues
relating to the quantity of service,
including number of routes open for
moving radioactive materials
nationwide, and to consolidate tariff
questions, and (b) the railroad
defendants’ pending petition, filed on
January 18, 1996, to dismiss the
complaints in these proceedings.
