                AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board.
                ACTION: Presentation of the Board's calculation for the change in

                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: In a decision served on February 19, 2021, the Board proposed
                to adopt 1.008 (0.8% per year) as the measure of average (geometric
                mean) change in railroad productivity for the 2015-2019 (five-year)
                period. The Board's February 19, 2021 decision stated that comments may
                be filed addressing any perceived data and computational errors in the
                Board's calculation. The decision also stated that, unless a further
                order is used postponing the effective date, the decision will take
                effect on March 11, 2021.
                DATES: Comments are due by March 8, 2021.
                ADDRESSES: Comments may be e-filed on the Board's website at
