§1322 Board Action

Title 49 › SUBTITLE II — OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES › CHAPTER 13 — SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD › SUBCHAPTER II — ADMINISTRATIVE › § 1322

Last updated Sep 22, 2026|Official source

Summary

The Board can decide when its actions take effect, except for orders that require paying money, and unless subtitle IV says something different. The Board can change, pause, or cancel its own actions if it gives notice in the way it chooses. A court with proper authority can also pause or cancel a Board action. The Board may reopen a case, allow rehearing, or change an action at any time for material error, new evidence, or big changes in circumstances. Someone with an interest may ask the Board to reopen under the Board’s rules. A Board action is final on the date it is served, and a civil case to enforce, stop, or set aside the action may be filed after that date.

An interested party may petition to reopen and reconsider an action of the Board under this subsection under regulations of the Board.
