SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NGCC arose from a proceeding instituted 
by the Surface Transportation Board's (Board) predecessor agency, the 
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), in National Grain Car Supply--
Conference of Interested Parties, Ex Parte No. 519. The NGCC was formed 
as a working group to facilitate private-sector solutions and 
recommendations to the ICC (and now the Board) on matters affecting 
grain transportation.
    The purpose of this meeting is to continue discussions of private-
sector solutions to problems related to the availability of railroad 
cars for distribution and transportation of grain. In particular, rail 
carrier members will report on their preparedness to transport the Fall 
grain harvest.
    The meeting, which is open to the public, will be conducted 
pursuant to the NGCC's charter and Board procedures. Further 
communications about this meeting may be announced through the Board's 
Web site at http://www.stb.dot.gov.
    This action will not significantly affect either the quality of the 
human environment or the conservation of energy resources.

    Decided: April 7, 2006.

    By the Board, Chairman Buttrey and Vice Chairman Mulvey.
Vernon A. Williams,
Secretary.
