Abstract: This collection requires a railroad to give notice to customers that it has a demurrage tariff. The rule requiring notice conditions a railroad's ability to charge demurrage on its having given, prior to rail car placement, actual notice of the demurrage tariff to the person receiving rail cars for loading and unloading.

Short Statement: The requested number of burden hours is lower compared to the previous Information Collection Request due to the initial burden associated with a new collection.
