Supplemental Information about the Annual Report of
Cars Loaded and Cars Terminated (Form STB-54)
This information collection is mandatory pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 11162 and 49 CFR 1247.
The estimated hour burden for filing this report is four hours per report.
The Board uses information in this report to forecast labor costs and measure the efficiency of the reporting
railroads. Information in this report is entered into the Board’s Uniform Rail Costing System (URCS), which is
a cost measurement methodology. URCS was developed by the Board pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 11161 and is used
as a tool in rail rate proceedings to calculate the variable costs associated with providing a particular service in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 10707(d). The Board also uses URCS to analyze the information that it obtains through
the annual railroad industry waybill sample, see 49 CFR 1244, and in railroad abandonment proceedings to measure
off-branch costs in accordance with 49 CFR 1152.32(n). In addition, many other Federal agencies and industry
groups, including the Department of Transportation and the Association of American Railroads (AAR), depend on
Form STB-54 for information regarding the number of cars loaded and terminated on the reporting carrier’s line.
All information collected through this report is available to the public.
Paper copies of individual reports are maintained by the Board for ten years, after which they are destroyed.
The display of a currently valid OMB control number for this collection is required by law.
