SUMMARY: The Board is correcting the effective date for the final rules

railroad consolidations, which were published at 62 FR 28375 on May 23, 
1997. The corrected effective date appears below.

on May 23, 1997, is corrected from May 15, 1997 to May 5, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen M. King, (202) 565-1639 or 
David T. Groves, (202) 565-1551. [TDD for the hearing impaired: (202) 
565-1695.]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 4, 1997, at 62 FR 9714, the Board 
published interim rules that modified the Board's user fee policy for 
proceedings involving major railroad consolidations under 49 CFR part 
1180 and the Board's corresponding fee regulations at 49 CFR part 1002. 
Subsequently on May 23, 1997, at 62 FR 28375, the Board adopted those 
interim rules with one minor modification. Because an incorrect 
effective date was given in the document published on May 23, 1997, the 
Board is issuing this document to show that the effective date of those 
rules is corrected to be May 5, 1997.

    Decided: June 25, 1997.
    By the Board, Vernon A. Williams, Secretary.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
