Title: Disclosure of Rail Interchange Commitments, STB Ex Parte No. 575 Sub-No. 1 
Abstract: The Board amended its regulations to require that parties seeking to obtain an individual exemption for, or to invoke a class exemption covering, a transaction involving the sale or lease of a railroad line identify any provision in their agreements that would restrict the ability of the purchaser or tenant railroad to interchange traffic with a rail carrier other than the seller or landlord railroad. Our new rules also provide a procedure whereby a shipper or other affected party may obtain access to such provisions.
