    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8336
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Surface Transportation Board is starting a rulemaking process based on a proposal from the Association of American Railroads. The proposal aims to create a new class exemption for emergency temporary trackage rights, which would allow these rights to take effect immediately in specific situations without waiting for a 30-day notice. This proposal is intended to make obtaining temporary trackage rights more efficient in emergencies, supporting the continuous flow of commerce. The Board is also seeking additional public input as part of the decision-making process.

  • 2025-00153 — Periodic Reporting
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 6927
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Postal Regulatory Commission is proposing a new rule following a request from the Postal Service to update the analytical principles used in their reports. The main change involves using newer data from the Fiscal Year 2019 to better reflect rental costs for their facilities, which would replace older methods that relied heavily on estimates. This change is expected to provide a more accurate representation of market value and potentially reduce costs for different postal products. The public can submit comments on this proposal by February 27, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Postal people want to update how they figure out costs for the places they use by looking at newer and more accurate numbers, like from 2019. They believe this will give a better idea of true costs, and they're asking people to share what they think about this idea by the end of February.
