OPINION OF THE COURT

2Per curiam

Various petitions for review have been consolidated to present the question whether certain orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission in Ex-Parte No. MC-88, Detention of Motor Vehicles Nationwide, 124 M.C.C. 680 (1976); 126 M.C.C. 803 (1977), reflect conclusions that “are rationally supported”, United States v. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corp., 406 U.S. 742, 749, 92 S.Ct. 1941, 32 L.Ed.2d 453 (1972). Because we are persuaded that there is a rational basis for the ICC conclusions, we will deny the relief sought in the petitions for review.
