1Opinion of the Court

Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GARLAND.

GARLAND, Circuit Judge:

In 1996, Koch Pipeline Company, L.P. raised shipping rates on its anhydrous ammonia pipeline. Pipeline customers CF Industries, Inc. and Farmland Industries, Inc. challenged the rate increase before the Surface Transportation Board (STB). The Board found the new rates unreasonable. In these consolidated petitions for review, Koch disputes the STB’s decision to lower the rates, while CF and Farmland attack the Board’s decision not to lower them still further. We affirm both decisions and deny the petitions for review.
