  • 2021-03670 — BNSF Railway Company-Trackage Rights Exemption-Union Pacific Railroad Company
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 11043
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    BNSF Railway Company requested that the Surface Transportation Board allow a trackage rights exemption to expire at the end of 2021, as previously agreed with Union Pacific Railroad. This arrangement lets BNSF use Union Pacific's rail lines to transport trains carrying ballast to and from a pit in Elsey, California. The Board granted the request, ensuring that the agreement will conclude on December 31, 2021, without negatively impacting shippers, and included protections for any employees affected by the change. This decision will be published in the Federal Register and is effective as of March 25, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad agreed that BNSF could use some of Union Pacific's train tracks until the end of 2021, and a government board approved this plan to make sure everything is fair and no workers are hurt by the change.

  • 2025-01339 — Office of Legal Policy
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5607
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Department of Justice has updated its regulations to better describe the current functions of the Office of Legal Policy (OLP). This rule simplifies certain sections by removing outdated references to a non-existing entity and details the responsibilities of the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the OLP. It is considered an internal matter, so it does not require public comment or a delayed start and will not significantly impact state governments or federal-state relations. The changes take effect on January 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Justice fixed their rules to describe what one of their offices, the Office of Legal Policy, does now. They removed some old parts that weren't needed, and this doesn't change anything big for anyone outside their office.
