FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
46 CFR Part 531
[Docket No. 05-06]
Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier Service Arrangements
AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.
ACTION: Notice of inquiry; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects a portion of the Notice of Inquiry
issued August 30, 2005.
DATES: September 1, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bryant L. VanBrakle, Secretary,
Federal Maritime Commission, 800 N. Capitol St., NW., Room 1046,
Washington, DC 20573-0001, Secretary@fmc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 2, 2005, the Federal Maritime
Commission published a Notice of Inquiry requesting public comment on
possible changes to its exemption for non-vessel-operating common
carriers from certain tariff publication requirements of the Shipping
Act of 1984. On page 52345 of the Federal Register, in the third
column, in the fourth sentence of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, the
quotation of the Commission's regulation at 46 CFR 531.3(p) incorrectly
omitted the phrase ``or two or more affiliated NVOCCs.'' The entire
sentence should read as follows:
The rule defines an NSA as ``a written contract, other than a
bill of lading or receipt, between one or more NSA shippers and an
individual NVOCC or two or more affiliated NVOCCs, in which the NSA
shipper makes a commitment to provide a certain minimum quantity or
portion of its cargo or freight revenue over a fixed time period,
and the NVOCC commits to a certain rate or rate schedule and a
defined service level.'' 46 CFR 531.3(p).
Bryant L. VanBrakle,
Secretary.
