system that is in compliance with the rules promulgated by the Board 
under section 11161 of this title. A rail carrier may, after notifying 
the Board, make modifications in such system unless, within 60 days

inconsistent with the rules promulgated by the Board under section 11161 
of this title.
    (b) For purposes of determining whether the cost accounting system 
of a rail carrier is in compliance with the rules promulgated by the 
Board, the Board shall have the right to examine and make copies of any 
documents, papers, or records of such rail carrier relating to 
compliance with such rules. Such documents, papers, and records (and any 
copies thereof) shall not be subject to the mandatory disclosure 
requirements of section 552 of title 5.
