BILLING CODE 4190-22-M DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Surface Transportation Board Indexing the Annual Operating Revenues of Railroads This Notice sets forth the annual inflation adjusting index numbers which are used to adjust gross annual operating revenues of railroads for classification purposes. This indexing methodology will insure that regulated carriers are classified based on real business expansion and not from the effects of inflation. Classification is important because it determines the extent of reporting for each carrier.
The railroad's inflation factors are based on the annual average Railroad's Freight Price Index. This index is developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This index will be used to deflate revenues for comparison with established revenue thresholds. The base year for railroads is 1991. The inflation index factors are presented as follows: Railroad Freight Index Year Index Deflator 1991 409.50 1 100.00 1992 411.80 99.45 1993 415.50 98.55 1994 418.80 97.70 1995 418.17 97.85 1996 417.46 98.02 1997 419.67 97.50 1998 424.54 96.38 1999 423.01 96.72 2000 428.64 95.45 2001 436.48 93.73 2002 445.03 91.92 2003 454.33 90.03 2004 473.41 86.40 2005 522.41 78.29 2006 567.34 72.09 EFFECTIVE DATE:
