STB updates and lowers user fees
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefThe Surface Transportation Board released Friday a new user fee list that incorporates a recent decision to reduce fees for filing formal complaints, including rate complaints and unreasonable practice complaints, to $350, and maintains the $150 fee to file an expedited small rate case.
STB said 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 user fees have decreased, while 113 others have not changed. The list was last updated in 2010.
