Abstract:
A Waybill is a document describing the characteristics (such as origin, destination, commodity, weight, rail carriers participating in the movement, and freight revenue) of an individual rail shipment. A Waybill Sample is a statistical sample of waybills for the traffic that a particular carrier handles. Currently, railroads that are required to file Waybill Sample information report a random sample of as little as 1% of carloads on a waybill. See 49 CFR 1244.4(b)-(c). The proposed revision, set forth in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, would expand the carload Waybill Sample information submitted to include all traffic movements designated as a TIH (Toxic Inhalation Hazard).
