Abstract: The Shipping Act of 1984,
46 U.S.C. app. 1715, authorizes the FMC
to exempt by rule ‘‘any class of
agreements between persons subject to
the Act or any specified activity of those
persons from any requirement of this

not result in substantial reduction in
competition or be detrimental to
commerce. The Commission may attach
conditions to any exemption and may,
by order, revoke any exemption.’’ 46
CFR part 531 allows non-vesseloperating common carriers (NVOCCs)
and shippers’ associations with NVOCC
members to act as shipper parties in
NVOCC Service Arrangements (NSAs),
and to be exempt from certain tariff
publication requirements of the
Shipping Act provided the carriage in

Type of Respondents: Parties that
enter into NSAs are NVOCCs and
shippers’ associations with NVOCC
members.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 102–192.50(c) of the Federal
Management Regulation (FMR) (41 CFR
102–192.50(c)) states that ‘‘beginning
December 31, 2003, all payments to the
United States Postal Service must be
made using commercial payment
processes, not OMAS’’ (Official Mail
Accounting System). If agencies did not
convert by that date, they were required
to submit a deviation request for an
extension. If granted, the deviations
could last for no longer than a two-year
period, at which time agencies had to
request another deviation.
Dated: April 11, 2008.

2. What is the effective date of this
bulletin? April 11, 2008.
3. When does this bulletin expire?
This bulletin will expire April 13, 2009.
4. What is the background of this
bulletin? Section 102–192.50(c) of the
Federal Management Regulation (FMR)
(41 CFR 102–192.50(c)) states that
‘‘beginning December 31, 2003, all
payments to the United States Postal
Service must be made using commercial
payment processes, not OMAS’’
(Official Mail Accounting System). If
agencies did not convert by that date,
they were required to submit a deviation
request for an extension. If granted, the
deviations could last for no longer than
a two-year period, at which time
agencies had to request another
deviation.
5. What is the current status of
agencies in regards to conversion to
commercial payment?
While many agencies have
successfully converted to commercial
payment, several have not yet done so,
or have only partially done so.
Some agencies state that they can
show accountability for postage using
OMAS and have asked the General
Services Administration (GSA) to
review the goals of the commercial
payment initiative. GSA has agreed to
do so.
6. What should agencies do if they
need to submit an updated deviation
request while GSA reviews the goals of
the commercial payment initiative?
Agencies that have outstanding
deviation requests, or that need to
submit a deviation request soon, do not
need to submit a formal updated
deviation request during the time period
covered by this bulletin. GSA is granting
these agencies an automatic 12-month
deviation. Agencies that have current
unexpired deviations on file that last
beyond the 12-month period do not
need to take any additional action.
7. When should agencies expect to
hear the results of the review?
Before the 12-month period is
complete, GSA will issue additional
guidance if in fact there are new options
for showing accountability for postage
costs besides converting to commercial
payment. If, after review, GSA
determines there are no additional
options, agencies will be expected to
proceed toward conversion.
8. Whom should I contact for further
information? Derrick Miliner, Program
Manager, Mail Management Policy,
