The Interstate Commerce Commission was a regulatory agency created by the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887. The agency was abolished in 1995, and its remaining functions were transferred to the Surface Transportation Board.
The Hepburn Act of 1906 allowed the Interstate Commerce Commission the ability to extend its jurisdiction. It also gave them power to maximize railroad rates.
