July 14, 2025
BY Erin Krueger
The Surface Transportation Board is seeking nominations to fill nine vacancies on its Rail Energy Transportation Advisory Committee, including one vacancy that must be filled by an individual representing biofuel feedstock growers or providers and biofuel refiners.
The STB established RETAC in 2007 as a federal advisory committee consisting of a balanced cross-section of energy and rail industry stakeholders to provide independent, candid policy advice to the Board and to foster open, effective communication among the affected interests on issues such as rail performance, capacity constraints, infrastructure planning and development, and effective coordination among suppliers, railroads, and users of energy resources.
RETAC meets at least twice per year. Members of the committee serve without compensation and without reimbursement of travel expenses.
