SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD UPDATES ITS USER-FEE SCHEDULE TO REFLECT LOWER COSTS FOR FILING CASES
The Surface Transportation Board announced today an updated fee list that incorporates a recent Board decision to reduce the fees charged for filing formal complaints, including rate complaints and unreasonable practice complaints, to $350, and the maintenance of the $150 fee to file an expedited small rate case.
Under the new fee schedule, all of the Board's user fees have either decreased slightly or remain unchanged. In addition to the formal complaint fee reduction, a dozen of the agency's use fees have decreased, while 113 others have not changed. The fee list was last updated in 2010.
