Rule
Summary
Oops! The rules for the Interstate Commerce Commission were accidentally removed last December, but they’re still needed because they now belong to the Surface Transportation Board. So, the government fixed the mistake and put those rules back starting December 26, 2024. If you work with these transportation rules, nothing changes except the paperwork is back where it belongs—no extra costs or delays.
