SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation Board published a document in the 
Federal Register on March 29, 2004 (69 FR 16173), amending the Board's 
fee regulations. The document inadvertently failed to: (1) Use correct 
terms of art to describe the fee item at section 1002.2(f)(56)(v); and 
(2) include all of the technical editing instructions needed by Federal 
Register staff to accurately revise sections 1002.2(f)(98), (100), and 
(101). This document corrects the final rules by revising these 
sections.

DATES: Effective Date: These rules are effective on August 25, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David T. Groves, (202) 565-1551, or 
Anne Quinlan, (202) 565-1727. [Assistance for the hearing impaired is 
available through the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-
800-877-8339.]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These corrections amend the Board's fee 
regulations.
