Supplemental Information about the Quarterly Report of Freight Commodity Statistics (Form QCS)

The following information is provided in compliance with OMB requirements and pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.
§§ 3501-3519 (PRA):

This information collection is mandatory pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 11145 and 49 C.F.R. § 1248. The estimated hour burden for filing this report
is 217 hours per report. Information in this report is entered into the Board's Uniform Rail Costing System (URCS), which is a cost
measurement methodology. URCS was developed by the Board pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 11161 and is used as a tool in rail rate proceedings
to calculate the variable costs associated with providing a particular service in accordance with 49 U.S.C. § 10707(d). The Board also uses
URCS to analyze the information that it obtains through the carload waybill samples that rail carriers submit under 49 C.F.R. § 1244, and in
railroad abandonment proceedings to measure off-branch costs, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 10904(a) and in accordance with 49 C.F.R. §
1152.32(n). All information collected through this report is available to the public. Paper copies of individual reports are maintained by the
Board for ten years, after which they are destroyed. Under the PRA, a federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. Comments and questions about this collection (2140-0011) should be directed to Paperwork Reduction
Officer, Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20423-0001.
