Surface Transportation Board


Release of Waybill Data

    The Surface Transportation Board (Board) has received a subpoena 
duces tecum in a court proceeding [Asphalt Busters, Inc. v. Chemical 
Lime Company, et al., No. CV-01-0269-PHX-ROS (D. Ariz.)] for access to 
confidential data from the Board's 1999 and 2001 Carload Waybill 
Samples for STCC Code 32741 (Lime or Lime Plaster). Any such access 
obtained in the matter would be subject to a protective order issued 
August 9, 2001, in the court proceeding.
    The waybill sample contains confidential railroad and shipper data; 
therefore, if any parties object to release of the data under the 
conditions prescribed in the confidentiality order, they should file 
their objections with the Director of the Board's Office of Economics, 
Environmental Analysis, and Administration within 14 calendar days of 
the date of this notice. In determining whether to resist the subpoena, 
the Board will be guided by its rules for release of waybill data 
codified at 49 CFR 1244.9.
    Contacts: James A. Nash, (202) 565-1542, Waybill issues. Craig M. 
Keats, (202) 565-1564, Legal issues.

Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
