SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 9, 2020, the Association of American Railroads AAR filed a petition requesting that the Board initiate a rulemaking proceeding to establish a new emergency temporary trackage rights class exemption that could be invoked in specific situations and would allow emergency temporary trackage rights to take effect immediately, without need to waive the 30-day notice requirement under 49
CFR 1180.4g1. AAR argues that the current two-step approach for obtaining temporary trackage rights that take effect on less than 30 days notice is inefficient, and AAR asserts that its proposed class exemption would benefit shippers, railroads, and the Board by providing a streamlined and simple approach for obtaining temporary trackage rights in emergency situations, ensuring the continued flow of commerce without any decrease in regulatory oversight.
