		ORDER ESTABLISHING FEE

  RCW 81.80.150 requires that each common carrier operating in this state under 
the jurisdiction of the Commission pay to the Commission an annual fee for the 
maintenance of motor freight tariffs. The fees, due on or before December 31 of 
each year, cover the costs of fixing rates, publishing tariffs and distributing 
tariffs in the following year.

  The fee covering the 1998 fee year is now before the Commission for 
consideration.  The commission has considered the number of tariffs anticipated 
to be produced in the state in 1998 and the anticipated costs of producing and 
distributing such tariffs.  Being fully advised,

  IT IS ORDERED That the fee to be paid to the Commission under the provisions 
of RCW 81.80.150 be raised from $23.00 to $24.00 per tariff maintenance 
subscription.

  DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 26th day of November, 1997.
