Interstate Commerce Commission
The
Interstate Commerce Commission
(
ICC
) was a
regulatory
agency 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.
Congress
expanded ICC authority to regulate other modes of commerce beginning in 1906. The agency was abolished in 1995, and its remaining functions were transferred to the
Surface Transportation Board
.
