ICC on the effective date of the legislation shall be decided under 
the law in effect prior to January 1, 1996, insofar as they involve

that was pending with the ICC prior to January 1, 1996, and to 
functions that are subject to Board jurisdiction pursuant to 49 
U.S.C. 10901. Therefore, this notice applies the law in effect prior 
to the Act.
