INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION DISCONTINUANCE OF PRINTING OF THE ADVANCED SHEETS TO THE BOUND VOLUMES IN PAMPHLET FORM Decided June 12, 1984 AGENCY: Interstate Commerce Commission. ACTION: Notice of procedural change. SUMMARY: Due to the closing of the agency printing facility, the Commission is changing procedures for issuance of decisions printed in the bound volumes. Subscription services for advance sheets to the bound volumes (print decisions) will no longer be provided by the Commission. Advance sheets to the bound volumes will no longer be issued in the pamphlet format. The Commission will discontinue maintenance of the separate volume series (I.C.C. and M.C.C.) and will establish a single series of volumes (I.C.C. 2d). EFFECTIVE DATE: June 19, 1984. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Darlene Proctor SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The discontinuance of printing and related services for the pamphlet version of advance sheets (print decisions) is necessary because the Commission will no longer have the equipment or staff necessary to produce them. Not only will serving decisions in this manner be more economical for the Commission, it is hoped that it will result in faster service of most printed decisions and in improved publication times for the bound version of the reports. The decisions themselves will no longer be issued in 6" x 9" pamphlets. Instead, they will appear on two sides of 8 1/2" x 11" sheets (the same size currently used for nonprint decisions) and will bear the heading "This decision will be included in the bound volumes of ICC Printed Reports." The decision will be issued in typeset style and format containing the volume designation, pagination and folio titles (the citation). Due to the discontinuance of the pamphlet form, the decisions will be served and released to the public in the same manner as currently used for nonprint decisions. There will no longer be a need to maintain a separate subscription service for the pamphlets. The Commission has recently closed Motor Finance Volume 127 and Rail Finance Volume 367. The subscribers to Motor Volume 133 will continue to receive copies of all advance sheets until the Volume is complete, with the remainder of those copies to be issued in the "flat" rather than pamphlet form. The practice of maintaining separate volumes for different case types has become obsolete. Rather than maintaining a separate volume for rates, finance, and motor carrier decisions, the Commission will establish a single volume (I.C.C. 2d) which will contain all print decisions. Upon completion of Motor Volume 133, all print decisions will be included in the I.C.C. 2d volume. The Commission will no longer take subscriptions to the advance sheets to the bound volume series. Instead, copies of these and any other decisions of the Commission will be handled as they are now. Individuals on the service lists to proceedings will be served by the Commission. Individuals who are not on the service lists may purchase copies by calling TSI Infosystems, Inc., at (202) 289-4357 or by writing to them at Room 2227 ICC Building, 12th and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20423. By the Commission, Reese H. Taylor, Jr., Chairman. (SEAL) JAMES H. BAYNE, Secretary.
