49 C.F.R. § 1108.3 Matters subject to arbitration.
Title 49 - Transportation
(a) Any controversy between two or more parties, subject to resolution by the STB, and subject to the limitations in §1108.2 hereof, may be processed pursuant to the provisions of this part 1108, if all necessary parties voluntarily subject themselves to arbitration under these provisions after notice as provided herein. (b) Arbitration under these provisions is limited to matters over which the STB has statutory jurisdiction and may include disputes arising in connection with jurisdictional transportation, including service being conducted pursuant to an exemption. An Arbitrator should decline to accept, or to render a decision regarding, any dispute that exceeds the STB's statutory jurisdiction. Such Arbitrator may resolve any dispute properly before him/her in the manner and to the extent provided herein, but only to the extent of and within the limits of the STB's statutory jurisdiction. In so resolving any such dispute, the Arbitrator will not be bound by any procedural rules or regulations adopted by the STB for the resolution of similar disputes, except as specifically provided in this part 1108; provided, however, that the Arbitrator will be guided by the Interstate Commerce Act and by STB and ICC precedent.
