Sec.  202.13  Electric railways.



    (a) The Deputy General Counsel will require the submission of 

information pertaining to the history and operations of an electric 

railway with a view to determining whether it is an employer and will 

inquire into and make his recommendations upon the following 

considerations:

    (1) Whether the electric railway is more than a street, suburban or 

interurban electric railway; or

    (2) Whether it is operating as a part of a general steam-railroad 

system of transportation; or

    (3) Whether it is part of the national transportation system.

    (b) If in the opinion of the Deputy General Counsel an electric 

railway has the characteristic set forth in either paragraphs (a)(1), 

(2), or (a)(3) of this section, he will conclude that it is an employer 

under the act and if the operator concurs in such opinion, the decision 

will be made final by the Board. If the operator does not concur in the 

conclusion reached the question will be submitted to the Interstate 

Commerce Commission for determination.
