• The August 25, 2026 Regulations.gov record concerns Surface Transportation Board information collections involving rail and water-carrier liens, water-carrier tariffs, and agricultural contract summaries.
• The documented food-chain connection is agricultural freight and logistics, not a demonstrated change in grocery prices, restaurant menus, or farm income.
• The supplied record names no company, trade group, lobbyist, payment, award, ownership interest, or documented overlap with the Surface Transportation Board.
• The record proves administrative docket activity, not influence, wrongdoing, or a food-price effect.
