United States v. Florida East Coast Railway Co.
United States v. Florida East Coast Railway Co., 410 U.S. 224 (1973) was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court. Due to a chronic freight car shortage, Congress had enlarged the scope of the Interstate Commerce Commission's authority to prescribe per diem rate charges for the use of one company's freight car by another, thus giving an incentive to each company to use the cars more efficiently or to acquire more freight cars. The Commission in passing the regulation had allowed railroads 60 days to file statements of position on the matter. The Commission had said: "that any party requesting oral hearing shall set forth with specificity the need therefore and the evidence to be adduced." Several railroads filed statements requesting oral hearings, but the Commission did not hold
