Correction

    In FR Doc. 2024-09483 appearing on page 38665 in the issue of May 
7, 2024, in the second and third columns, make the following 
corrections:
    1. Remove ``The railroads have pushed our sites to take on more 
expense and change operations to match the new process and operating 
strategies. We have had to increase our railcar fleet by over 10 
percent in the past couple of years solely due to inconsistency in the 
rail service and increased transit time. And we're about to increase 
our fleet again in the next six months by approximately seven to eight 
percent. This is again due to the inconsistency in the service and 
transit time.'' Hr'g Tr. 792:19 to 793:6, Mar. 16, 2022, Reciprocal 
Switching, EP 711 (Sub-No. 1). Another shipper commented: ``Our plant 
in the Northeast lost production of over 57 million pounds during the 
first two months of 2022 mostly due to increased transit time and 
railroad delays resulting from crew shortages.'' Id., Hr'g Tr. 795:7 to 
795:10, Mar. 16, 2022.''
    2. Correct footnote 23 to read as follows:

    \23\ At the March 2022 hearing in Reciprocal Switching, EP 711 
(Sub-No. 1), the Board heard testimony from shippers about the 
following types of problems encountered during this period: ``The 
railroads have pushed our sites to take on more expense and change 
operations to match the new process and operating strategies. We 
have had to increase our railcar fleet by over 10 percent in the 
past couple of years solely due to inconsistency in the rail service 
and increased transit time. And we're about to increase our fleet 
again in the next six months by approximately seven to eight 
percent. This is again due to the inconsistency in the service and 
transit time.'' Hr'g Tr. 792:19 to 793:6, Mar. 16, 2022, Reciprocal 
Switching, EP 711 (Sub-No. 1). Another shipper commented: ``Our 
plant in the Northeast lost production of over 57 million pounds 
during the first two months of 2022 mostly due to increased transit 
time and railroad delays resulting from crew shortages.'' Id., Hr'g 
Tr. 795:7 to 795:10, Mar. 16, 2022.
