As part of the Board’s oversight conditions, for the duration of the oversight period, Applicants will report on competition-related, service, and operational metrics at prescribed frequencies, as described in Decision No. 3, FD 36744 et al., slip op. at 27– 28.

Quarterly Reports on Volumes Interchanged at Gateways. In Decision No. 3, the Board explained that Applicants would be required to provide, during the oversight period, the total count of cars interchanged, categorized by two-digit STCC and broken out by interchange partner. Id. at 19. With the first submission, Applicants are also to provide, to the extent possible, the same historical quarterly information for a two-year period dating back from the effective date of Decision No. 3. Id. The Board’s decision noted that a report on this data would allow the Board to monitor traffic levels at gateways and take appropriate action if necessary. Id. By letter filed on January 31, 2025, POET Bioprocessing (POET), a railroad shipper of biofuels and other hazardous commodities that would be affected by the transaction, requests that the Board clarify or revisit the reporting requirement in Decision No. 3 that directs Applicants to provide quarterly reports on interchange volumes. POET Letter 1–2, Canadian Nat’l Ry.— Control—Iowa N. Ry., FD 36744. POET states that it is the only biofuels producer on the IANR system and that its volumes are currently transported through all the interchange points on the IANR. Id. at 2. Accordingly, POET argues that the public disclosure of its interchanged carloads by two-digit STCC code would reveal not only the volumes of biofuels shipped by POET from its facilities, but also the markets to which such shipments are being sent. Id. To balance the Board’s oversight goals with confidentiality, POET, therefore, requests that the Board instead require Applicants to publicly report only the count of cars interchanged in total and for each interchange partner. Id. POET suggests, however, that should the Board elect to retain the two-digit STCC requirement, this information be submitted under seal pursuant to the protective order in Docket No. FD 36744. Id.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In Decision No. 3,\2\ the Board established 
oversight for a period of three years, during which the Board will 
closely monitor Applicants' compliance with, and the effectiveness of, 
the conditions imposed on the control transaction. Decision No. 3, FD 
36744 et al., slip op. at 21, 27-28 (STB served Jan. 14, 2025). The 
Board is now instituting this proceeding to implement the general 
oversight condition and provide further guidance regarding Applicants'

subsequent decision. See Canadian Nat'l Ry.--Control--Iowa N. Ry., 
FD 36744 et al. (STB served Jan. 31, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Reporting Guidance and Clarification. As part of the Board's 
oversight conditions, for the duration of the oversight period, 
Applicants will report on competition-related, service, and operational 
metrics at prescribed frequencies, as described in Decision No. 3, FD 
36744 et al., slip op. at 27-28. Applicants will also submit a plan for 
scheduled local service and quarterly narratives regarding changes to 
any operating plans on the former IANR system. Id. at 27.
    Quarterly Reports on Volumes Interchanged at Gateways. In Decision 
No. 3, the Board explained that Applicants would be required to 
provide, during the oversight period, the total count of cars 
interchanged, categorized by two-digit STCC and broken out by 
interchange partner. Id. at 19. With the first submission, Applicants 
are also to provide, to the extent possible, the same historical 
quarterly information for a two-year period dating back from the 
effective date of Decision No. 3. Id. The Board's decision noted that a 
report on this data would allow the Board to monitor traffic levels at 
gateways and take appropriate action if necessary. Id.
    By letter filed on January 31, 2025, POET Bioprocessing (POET), a 
railroad shipper of biofuels and other hazardous commodities that would 
be affected by the transaction, requests that the Board clarify or 
revisit the reporting requirement in Decision No. 3 that directs 
Applicants to provide quarterly reports on interchange volumes. POET 
Letter 1-2, Canadian Nat'l Ry.--Control--Iowa N. Ry., FD 36744. POET 
states that it is the only biofuels producer on the IANR system and 
that its volumes are currently transported through all the interchange 
points on the IANR. Id. at 2. Accordingly, POET argues that the public 
disclosure of its interchanged carloads by two-digit STCC code would 
reveal not only the volumes of biofuels shipped by POET from its 
facilities, but also the markets to which such shipments are being 
sent. Id. To balance the Board's oversight goals with confidentiality, 
POET, therefore, requests that the Board instead require Applicants to 
publicly report only the count of cars interchanged in total and for 
each interchange partner. Id. POET suggests, however, that should the 
Board elect to retain the two-digit STCC requirement, this information 
be submitted under seal pursuant to the protective order in Docket No. 
FD 36744. Id.
    As the Board found in Decision No. 3, data reflecting traffic 
volumes interchanged at gateways, categorized by two-digit STCC and 
broken out by interchange partner, will allow the Board to monitor the 
traffic levels at gateways and take appropriate action as necessary. 
Decision No. 3, FD 36744 et al., slip op. at 27-28. The Board, however, 
finds that public reporting at the STCC level might unnecessarily make 
commercially sensitive information public. Therefore, the Board will 
require Applicants to publicly report only the count of cars 
interchanged in total and for each interchange partner. Applicants 
also, however, will be required to file under seal the total count of 
cars interchanged, categorized by two-digit STCC. As previously 
directed in Decision No. 3, with the first submission, Applicants will 
be required to provide, to the extent possible, the same historical 
quarterly information for a two-year period dating back from the 
effective date of Decision No. 3, and subject to the same requirements 
regarding what should be public and what should be filed under seal.
    Reporting Format. Applicants must submit reports on interchange 
volumes as filings to the Board, consisting of an electronic copy of 
the data. Templates have been posted in this docket to help facilitate 
Applicants' data submissions. Reports on service will be in narrative 
form.
    Protective Order. For the oversight subdocket, the Board adopts the 
protective order imposed in the main docket of this proceeding. See 
Canadian Nat'l Ry.--Control--Iowa N. Ry., FD 36744 et al. (STB served 
Feb. 8, 2024). Parties may submit filings, as appropriate, under seal 
marked Confidential or Highly Confidential pursuant to the protective 
order.
    Service List. A copy of this decision is being served on all 
parties of record in Docket No. FD 36744. This decision will serve as 
notice that persons who were parties of record in Docket No. FD 36744
