§ 121.78 Charges and credits between services.

Carriers in making apportionments under the preceding rules should not, until further notice, make any allowance for the credit that should be given to the freight service for work performed (such as carrying company fuel) for the passenger service and vice versa.

NOTE A: If compilation of the information in compliance with any of the foregoing rules or parts thereof result in an undue burden or increase in accounting expense, the matter of relief therefrom may be re

ferred to the Bureau of Transport Economics and Statistics for consideration and decision. Also, if data as good or better can be developed through methods and procedures other than any of those above prescribed, permission for substitution thereof should be requested of the said Bureau. Requests in either event should be supported by full particulars.

NOTE B: The total distribution to freight service or passenger service derived under the foregoing rules for separation consists of the solely related or directly assignable amounts plus an apportionment of the common on a service or use basis. Inasmuch as the amounts assigned and/or apportioned to the freight and passenger services, respectively, are based on the performance of both services, the operating expenses, taxes, equipment, and joint facility rents assigned and/or apportioned to either service may not represent the amounts that could be eliminated if either service were discontinued.
