Bureau (Bureau) dismisses as moot the
Application for Review filed jointly by
KZLZ, LLC (KZLZ) and Lakeshore

pending, KZLZ filed a minor
modification application to change the
community of license of Station KWCX–
FM from Willcox to Tanque Verde,
Arizona. Once the requested facility

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
Section 13 of the STB Reauthorization
Act (codified at 49 U.S.C. 11708), the
Board must ‘‘promulgate regulations to
establish a voluntary and binding
arbitration process to resolve rail rate
and practice complaints’’ that are
subject to the Board’s jurisdiction.
Section 11708 sets forth specific
requirements and procedures for the
Board’s arbitration process. While the
Board’s existing arbitration regulations 1

Procedures, EP 699 (STB served May 13, 2013), the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
are for the most part consistent with the
new statutory provisions, certain
changes are needed so that the Board’s
regulations conform fully to the
requirements under section 11708.
On May 12, 2016, the Board issued a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR),
proposing to modify its existing
arbitration regulations, set forth at 49
CFR part 1108 and 49 CFR 1115.8, to
conform to the provisions set forth by
the statute and to make other minor
clarifying changes. Specifically, the
Board proposed adding rate disputes to
the list of matters eligible for arbitration
under its arbitration program and
barring two matters from the arbitration
program (disputes to prescribe for the
future any conduct, rules, or results of
general, industry-wide applicability and
disputes solely between two or more rail
carriers). For rate disputes, pursuant to
section 11708(c)(1)(C), the proposed
rules indicated that arbitration would be
available only if the rail carrier has
market dominance (as determined under
49 U.S.C. 10707). The Board sought
comment on whether parties should be
given the option to concede market
dominance, thereby forgoing the need
for a determination by the Board under
49 U.S.C. 10707.
The Board also proposed that, as an
alternative to filing a written complaint,
arbitration could be initiated by the
parties if they submit a joint notice to
the Board indicating their consent to
arbitrate. In accordance with section
11708(g), the Board proposed setting the
maximum amount of relief that could be
awarded under the arbitration program
to $25,000,000 in rate disputes and
$2,000,000 in practice disputes. The
Board also proposed rules to establish a
process for creating and maintaining a
roster of arbitrators and selecting
arbitrators from the roster in accordance
with section 11708(f). Pursuant to
section 11708(d) and (h), the proposed
rules would also modify the
requirements for, and applicable
standard of review of, arbitration
decisions, which are to be ‘‘consistent
with sound principles of rail regulation
economics.’’ The proposed rules would
also modify the deadlines governing the
arbitration process in accordance with
the statutory provisions. Lastly, the
proposed rules would correct an
inadvertent omission made in Docket
No. EP 699 that unintentionally
removed the Board’s standard of review
for labor arbitration cases.
Board adopted modified rules governing the use of
mediation and arbitration to resolve matters before
the Board. The rules established a new arbitration
program under which shippers and carriers may
voluntarily agree in advance to arbitrate certain
disputes with clearly defined limits of liability.

The Board sought comments on the
proposed regulations by June 13, 2016,
and replies by July 1, 2016. The Board
received comments from seven parties:
Association of American Railroads
(AAR), American Chemistry Council
(ACC), National Grain and Feed
Association (NGFA), Growth Energy,
Rail Customer Coalition (RCC), National
Industrial Transportation League
(NITL), and Samuel J. Nasca on behalf
of SMART/Transportation Division,
New York State Legislative Board
(SMART/TD–NY). AAR, ACC, and
SMART/TD–NY also filed replies. After
giving consideration to the comments
and suggestions submitted by parties,
the Board clarifies and modifies its
proposed rules, as discussed below.
Creating and Maintaining the Roster.
Under section 11708(f)(1), arbitrators on
the roster must be ‘‘persons with rail
transportation, economic regulation,
professional or business experience,
including agriculture, in the private
sector.’’ The NPR further proposed that
arbitrators be required to have training
in dispute resolution and/or experience
in arbitration or other forms of dispute
resolution. Under the proposed rules,
the Chairman would have discretion as
to whether an individual meets the
qualifications to be added to the roster.
NGFA and ACC suggest revising the
proposed rules so that all Board
members would have input as to which
applicants are qualified and should be
included in the roster. (NGFA
Comments 6, ACC Comment 4.) The
Board agrees that all Board Members
should have input in establishing the
roster of arbitrators. (See NGFA
Comments 6.) The final rules will
provide that the Chairman will solicit
input and recommendations from all
Members in selecting qualified
individuals to be included in the
arbitrator roster, which will then be
established by a Board no-objection
vote.
AAR asserts that the Board should
have no discretion to exclude qualified
individuals from the roster. (AAR
Comment 5.) Rather, AAR suggests that
the Board adopt a more transparent
process in which individuals meeting
set criteria would automatically be
added to the roster. Under this process,
an applicant would submit a narrative
describing his or her qualifications,
which would then be posted for a 20day comment period. (AAR Comment
6.) The Board would add all
uncontested applicants to the roster, but
if there is an objection, the Board would
decide whether the individual should or
should not be added and issue a
decision explaining its reasoning. (Id.)
The Board finds this additional process
