                        TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION
 
 CHAPTER X--SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
                               (Continued)
 
PART 1310_TARIFF REQUIREMENTS FOR HOUSEHOLD GOODS CARRIERS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1310.2  Requirement to maintain tariffs.

    (a) Except when providing transportation for charitable purposes 
without charge, carriers subject to the Board's jurisdiction under 
Chapter 135 of Title 49 of the United States Code may provide 
transportation or service for movements of household goods only if the 
rates, and related rules and practices, for such transportation or 
service are contained in a published tariff that is in effect under this 
section. The carrier may not charge or receive a different compensation 
for the transportation or service than the rate specified in the tariff, 
whether by returning a part of that rate to a person, by giving a person 
a privilege, by allowing the use of a facility that affects the value of 
that transportation or service, or through another device. Tariffs shall 
be published in the English language and rates shall be stated in money 
of the United States.
    (b) Tariffs maintained pursuant to this part must be available for 
inspection by the Board, and must be provided to the Board promptly and 
free of charge, upon request, by mail or other delivery service.
    (c) A carrier that maintains a tariff pursuant to this part may not 
enforce the provisions of the tariff unless the carrier has given notice 
that the tariff is available for inspection in its bill of lading or by 
other actual notice to individuals whose shipments are subject to the 
tariff, as provided in Sec. 1310.4 of this part.
    (d) The Board may invalidate a tariff prepared by or on behalf of a 
carrier under this part if that tariff violates 49 U.S.C. 13702 or the 
regulations contained in this part.
