Note: The Interstate Commerce Commerce Commission Termination Act granted exclusive jurisdiction over the regulation of railroad economic activity to the Surface Transportation Board (STB). 49 USC sec. 10501. The Termination Act preempted state regulation of intrastate railroad rates with which Chapter RR 3 was concerned. See also, 61 FR 14849, in which the STB stated its conclusion that the Termination Act preempts state regulation in this area. The STB took over many of the duties of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which the Termination Act abolished. The Board can be reached at: Office of Congressional and Public Services, Surface Transportaiton Board, 1925 K St. N.W., Washington, DC 20423-0001. (202) 565-1594.
