SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
49 CFR Chapter X
[Docket No. EP 738]
Regulatory Reform Task Force
AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.
ACTION: Announcement of Regulatory Reform Task Force listening session.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of a listening session for the
Regulatory Reform Task Force (RRTF).
DATES: The listening session will be held on Tuesday, July 25, 2017, at
10 a.m. E.D.T.
ADDRESSES: The listening session will be held in the Hearing Room on
the first floor of the Board's headquarters at 395 E Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20423.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rachel D. Campbell (202) 245-0357;
[email protected]. [Assistance for the hearing impaired is
available through the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at:
(800) 877-8339].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RRTF was established to comply with the
spirit of Exec. Order No. 13,777, 82 FR 12285 (Mar. 1, 2017), and to
move forward ongoing agency regulatory and process review initiatives.
The RRTF's mission is to identify rules and practices that are
burdensome, unnecessary, or outdated, and to recommend how they should
be addressed. On May 25, 2017, the RRFT submitted its first status
report, which is available for viewing on the Board's Web site at
https://www.stb.gov/stb/about/RRTF.html. As detailed in that memo, the
RRTF has identified some initial actions to pursue. However, given the
direct impact of the Board's regulations upon its stakeholders, the
RRTF believes that reviewing its regulations is best conducted with
input from its stakeholders.
For that reason, the RRTF will hold a listening session that will
be open to the public. Members of the RRTF will be present at the
listening session, which will be on the record with a transcript
prepared. The RRTF will release the transcript following the listening
session. Interested persons not able to attend may provide written
comments by July 25, 2017. Written comments should reference Docket No.
EP 738, and should be addressed to: Regulatory Reform Task Force,
Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20423-
0001. Submitted comments will become part of the record.
Decided: June 20, 2017.
By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of
Proceedings.
Brendetta S. Jones,
Clearance Clerk.
