DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
    \1\ The ICC Termination Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-88, 109 Stat. 
803 (the ICCTA), which was enacted on December 29, 1995, and took 
effect on January 1, 1996, abolished the Interstate Commerce 
Commission (ICC) and transferred certain functions and proceedings 
to the Surface Transportation Board (Board). Section 204(b)(1) of 
the ICCTA provides, in general, that proceedings pending before the 
ICC on the effective date of that legislation shall be decided under 
the law in effect prior to January 1, 1996, insofar as they involve 
functions retained by the ICCTA. This notice relates to a proceeding 
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. 11323. Therefore, this notice applies the law in effect prior 
to the ICCTA, and citations are to the former sections of the 
statute, unless otherwise indicated.
