Exclusion of Demurrage Regulation From Certain Class Exemptions

Document Number: 2019-22201

Type: Proposed Rule

Date: 2019-10-15

Agency: Surface Transportation Board, Department of Transportation

The Surface Transportation Board (STB or Board) proposes to clarify its regulations governing exemptions for certain miscellaneous commodities and boxcar transportation so that those regulations unambiguously state that demurrage continues to be subject to Board regulation. The Board also proposes to revoke, in part, the exemption that currently covers certain agricultural commodities so that the exemption would not apply to the regulation of demurrage, thereby making the agricultural commodities exemption consistent with similar exemptions covering non-intermodal transportation.
