From Wikipedia: "The Interstate Commerce Commission ICC was a regulatory body in the United States created by the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887. The agency's original purpose was to regulate railroads and later trucking to ensure fair rates to eliminate rate discrimination and to regulate other aspects of common carriers including interstate bus lines and telephone companies. The agency was abolished in 1995 and its remaining functions were transferred to the Surface Transportation Board. The Commission's five members were appointed by the President with the consent of the United States brought into law by President Grover Cleveland. The creation of the commission was the result of widespread and longstanding anti-railroad agitation. Western farmers specifically those of the Grange Movement were the dominant force behind the unrest but Westerners generally especially those in rural areas believed that the railroads possessed economic power that they systematically abused. A central issue was rate discrimination between similarly situated customers and communities. Other potent issues included alleged attempts by railroads to obtain influence over city and state governments and the widespread practice of granting free transportation in the form of yearly passes to opinion leaders elected officials newspaper editors ministers and so on so as to dampen any opposition to railroad practices. Various sections of the Interstate Commerce Act banned "personal discrimination" and required shipping rates to be "just and reasonable." The Commission had a troubled start because the law that created it failed to give it adequate enforcement powers. "The Commission is or can be made of great use to the railroads. It satisfies the popular clamor for a government supervision of the railroads while at the same time that supervision is almost entirely nominal."-William H. H. Miller US Attorney General circa 1889. Following passage of the 1887 act the ICC proceeded to set maximum shipping rates for railroads. However in the late 1890s several railroads challenged the agency's ratemaking authority in litigation and the courts severely limited the ICC's powers. Congress expanded the commission's powers through subsequent legislation. The 1893 Railroad Safety Appliance Act gave the ICC jurisdiction over railroad safety removing this authority from the states and this was followed with amendments in 1903 and 1910. The Hepburn Act of 1906 authorized the ICC to set maximum railroad rates and extended the agency's authority to cover bridges terminals ferries sleeping cars express companies and oil pipelines. A long-standing controversy was how to interpret language in the Act that banned long haul-short haul fare discrimination. The Mann-Elkins Act of 1910 addressed this question by strengthening ICC authority over railroad rates This amendment also expanded the ICC's jurisdiction to include regulation of telephone telegraph and wireless companies."

Among the organizations providing witnesses were: American Farm Bureau Federation Professional Drivers Council National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners Federal Highway Administration National Transportation Safety Board Private Truck Council of America American Trucking Associations Inc. Minor wear and soiling noted. Serial No. 95-132. This is a hearing on S.2970 the Truck Safety Act of 1978. This legislation was introduced by Senator Charles Percy and its purpose was to strengthen the power of the Federal Government in the truck safety area. Despite the scope of these truck safety problems S. 2970 goes beyond he issue of truck safety to apply to the safety of operation of all commercial motor vehicles over 10000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating. Thus this legislation would address the regulation of buses farm equipment and all other commercial vehicles above 10000 gross vehicle weight. In the course of these hearings the committee will be particularly interested in analyzing the adequacy of the Federal regulation of the commercial motor vehicles and what if anything is necessary in order to strengthen these programs. The committee is also concerned about how Federal programs interact with State regulation of commercial motor vehicles and whether this relationship is operating smoothly and effectively. As part of this overall examination the committee will seek to determine whether the funding and manpower allocated to these programs is adequate to carry out these important functions. The committee will also focus on how priorities are set in the regulation of commercial vehicles and what method of initiating investigations of improper behavior in this area would be most effective. n examining these issues the committee is fortunate to be receiving testimony today from an extremely wide spectrum of witnesses drawn from the Federal Government State agencies private trucking organizations farm representatives and private experts.
