Major Rail Consolidation Procedures

The Surface Transportation Board (Board) seeks public comment on proposed modifications to its regulations governing proposals for major rail consolidations. These proposed new rules would substantially increase the burden on applicants to demonstrate that a proposed transaction is in the public interest, requiring them, among other things, to demonstrate that the transaction would enhance competition as an offset to negative impacts resulting from service disruptions and competitive harms likely to be caused by the merger.
