§ 1244.1 Definitions.
(a) Railroad—an individual railroad
or terminal company subject to the
Interstate Commerce Act and every receiver, trustee, executor, administrator
or assignee of any such railroad. If a
railroad and its railroad subsidiaries
report to the Board on a consolidated
basis, they would collectively be considered as a railroad.
(b) A railroad subsidiary—a railroad
owned or controlled by another railroad.
(c) A waybill, which may be referred
to by other names such as mine tickets, is the document or instrument prepared from the bill of lading contract
or shipper’s instructions as to the disposition of the freight, and used by the
railroad(s) involved as the authority to
move the shipment and as the basis for
determining the freight charges and
interline settlements.
§ 1244.2 Applicability.
(a) Effective July 1, 1981 and thereafter, unless otherwise ordered, each
railroad as defined in § 1244.1 above is
required to file waybill sample information for all line-haul revenue waybills terminated on its lines if it terminates at least 4,500 revenue carloads in
any of the three preceding years, or if

it terminates at least 5% of the revenue carloads terminating in any state
in any of the three preceding years. A
railroad required to file waybill sample
information under this section shall
herein be referred to as subject railroad.
(b) Waybill terminations shall include all line-haul revenue movements
terminating for waybilling purposes on
the subject railroad’s line whether the
lading is destined for the terminating
station as denoted on the waybill or
the shipment is being rebilled or forwarded to the ultimate destination by
another railroad or another mode of
transportation (e.g., lake cargo, inbound transit, or other rebilled movements).
(c) Each subject railroad shall also
file the required waybill sample information for all of its railroad subsidiaries.
(d) Each subject railroad shall also
file the required waybill sample information for any other railroad for which
it performs revenue billing and/or
interline settlements under special
agreement.
(e) The surviving corporate entity of
railroads (subject to the Interstate
Commerce Act) who have merged or reorganized shall be required to report
waybill sample information if its predecessor railroad or any of its predecessor railroads were required to report
under this section.
(f) In order to determine the number
of carloads terminated in each state,
railroads not otherwise submitting
waybill information must report annually the number of carloads terminated
by state for the last calendar year.
These reports shall be submitted by
March 1 of the year following the report year.
(g) Transition. This final rule will
apply to all subject waybills which are
in the subject railroad’s audit month of
July 1981 and all audit months thereafter. The former rule will continue to
apply to all subject waybills for the
prior audit months up to and including
June 1981.
§ 1244.3 Reporting contract shipment
waybills and Canadian and Mexican
international waybills.
(a) All railroads shall identify (flag)
contract shipment waybills.

49 CFR Ch. X (10–1–12 Edition)

(b) The revenue associated with contract shipments may be encrypted
(masked) to safeguard the confidentiality of the contract rates.
(1) Upon written request, the Board
will provide a masking procedure for a
railroad’s use or will mask the contract revenues when the Waybill Sample is filed with the Board.
(2) When a railroad intends to use its
own proprietary masking procedure,
those procedures, and any changes in
those procedures, must be approved by
the Board thirty (30) days prior to their
use.
(3) All railroads that use a proprietary masking procedure, and intend to
continue to use the same procedure,
must certify, by letter to the Board,
prior to January 31 each year, that the
contract revenue masking procedures
are unchanged.
(4) All correspondence and certifications concerning masking procedures
should be addressed to: Director, Office

COORDINATOR.
(c) Railroads moving traffic on the
U.S. rail system to the Canadian or
Mexican border shall include a representative sample of such international export traffic in the Waybill
Sample.
(d) Railroads shall identify (flag)
such movements as international traffic in the waybill records.
(e) Railroads may report information
on the complete rail routing or report
only information related to the U.S.
portion of the movement.
(f) Railroads may mask revenue divisions associated with cross-border traffic following the masking procedures
set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this section.

§ 1244.4 Sampling of waybills.
(a) Subject railroads shall file waybill sample information in one of the
following two ways. (1) Authenticated
copies of a sample of audited revenue
waybills—the
manual
system
(§ 1244.3(b)). (2) A computer tape containing specified information from a

sample of waybills—the computerized
system (§ 1244.3(c)).
(b) The Manual System. (1) The sample
of subject waybills shall be as follows:
(i) All waybills with less than 6 carloads per waybill whose serial numbers
are 1 or end in 01,
(ii) All waybills with 6 to 25 carloads
per waybill whose serial numbers end
in 1; and,
(iii) All waybills with 26 or more carloads per waybill whose serial numbers
end in 1 or 7.
(2) The expected sampling rates for
the manual system are as follows:

Numbers of carloads on waybill

Expected
sample
rate

1 to 5 ...........................................................................
6 to 25 .........................................................................
26 and over .................................................................

1/100
1/10
1/5

(3) Upon giving the subject roads 60
days notice, the Board may require
random serial number endings in lieu
of the respective endings shown in
§ 1244.3(b). These random serial number
endings would have the expected sample rates shown in § 1244.3(b)(2).
(4) If the subject waybills have no
waybill numbers or serial numbers, or
have seriously flawed waybill or serial
numbers, then the subject railroad
should serialize those documents in
blocks of 1,000 or blocks of multiples of
1,000 (e.g., 1, 2, . . . 1,000; 1, 2, . . .) and
use these constructed serial numbers
for selection purposes.
(c) The Computerized System. (1) The
tape shall be required to conform to
the standards and format specified in
Statement No. 81–1, Procedure for Sampling Waybill Records by Computer (2009
edition), issued by the Surface Transportation Board. The Director of the
Federal Register has approved this incorporation by reference in accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.
To enforce any editions other than
those specified in this section, the STB
must publish notice of change in the
FEDERAL REGISTER and the material
must be available to the public. You
may obtain or inspect a copy of these
standards from the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–0001; from the Surface

§ 1244.9 Procedures for the release of
waybill data.
(a) General. The procedures for the release of waybill data identify five
classes of users of the STB Waybill
Sample, define the waybill information
or data that each class of users may
obtain, and set forth the applicable requirements for the data’s release. They
also formalize notice and protest procedures for the possible release of waybill data to other users to protect
against the inappropriate release of
confidential data. The Director of the
Office of Economics, Environmental
Analysis, and Administration shall be
responsible for releasing waybill data
in accordance with these procedures.
(b) Class of user, available data, and
applicable release requirements—(1) Railroads. Each requesting railroad may
obtain any waybill record from the
STB Waybill Sample covering traffic
that originated, terminated, or was

bridged by that railroad. The railroad
shall not have access to waybill data
pertaining to traffic in which it did not
participate. Also, it must meet all STB
and legal requirements concerning release of shipper information in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 11910(a).
(2) Federal agencies. Each requesting
Federal agency (including quasi-governmental agencies) may obtain any
waybill record from the STB Waybill
Sample subject to the following requirements:
(i) The Federal agency shall make
the information contained in the STB
Waybill Sample available only to its
employees or those contractors working on the particular project or study
requiring the waybill data.
(ii) The Federal agency will ensure
that railroads and shippers are afforded
the same privilege and protection
against disclosure of the waybill data
as the Board provides.
(iii) The Federal agency will not release any data to the public unless the
data elements are aggregated to contain at least three shippers and to prevent identification of an individual
railroad.
(iv) The Federal agency will refer
any requests for waybill data and accompanying documentation to the STB
for processing and will so inform the
requesting party of such referral to the
Board.
(v) The Federal agency must sign an
agreement annually with the Board
agreeing to these restrictions.
(3) States. Each requesting State may
obtain any waybill record pertaining to
traffic that was originated, terminated,
interchanged in, or that passed
through its State subject to the same
requirements imposed on federal agencies under paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through
(v) of this section.
(4) Transportation practitioners, consulting firms, and law firms—specific proceedings. Transportation practitioners,
consulting firms and law firms may use
data from the STB Waybill Sample in
preparing verified statements to be
submitted in formal proceedings before
the STB and/or State Boards (Board)
subject to the following requirements:
(i) The STB Waybill Sample is the
only single source of the data or obtaining the data from other sources is

burdensome or costly, and the data is
relevant to issues pending before the
Board.
(ii) The requestor submits to the STB
a written waybill request that complies
with § 1244.8(e).
(iii) All waybill data must be returned to the STB, and the firm must
not keep any copies.
(iv) A transportation practitioner,
consulting firm, or law firm must submit any evidence drawn from the STB
Waybill Sample to the Board only unless the evidence is aggregated to the
level of at least three shippers and will
prevent the identification of an individual railroad. Nonaggregated evidence submitted to the Board will be
made part of the public record only if
the Board finds that it does not reveal
competitively sensitive data. However,
evidence found to be sensitive may be
provided to counsel or other independent representatives for other parties subject to the usual and customary
protective order issued by the Board or
appropriate authorized official.
(v) For each Board proceeding, a firm
must sign a confidentiality agreement
with the STB agreeing to the above restrictions before any data will be released. This agreement will permit use
of the released data for a period of one
year from the date the agreement is
signed by the user. If the data is required for an additional period of time
because a proceeding is still pending
before the Board, the firm must sign a
new confidentiality agreement covering the data needed for each additional year the proceeding is opened.
(5) Public use. Nonconfidential waybill data may be obtained from the
‘‘Public Use Waybill File’’. Reports
produced from the Public Use Waybill
File may be used, published, or released. The Public Use Waybill File
contains the following nonconfidential
items:
