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burdensome, unnecessary, or outdated, and to recommend how they should 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.
