Petitioner further clarifies its request by stating that: (1) The exemption would be voluntary and apply only to rate tariffs; (2) negotiated rates and related disputes would be governed by contract law and therefore exempt from 49 U.S.C. 40501(a)–(e) and (g) (formerly sections 8(a), (b), (d) and (g) of the Shipping Act—governing tariff contents and publication, time volume rates, 30 day’s notice for increases, and accessibility and accuracy of automated tariffs); 40503 (formerly section 8(e)— setting out procedures for refunds and waivers) and 41104(2), (4) and (8) (formerly sections 10(b)(2), (4) and (8)— prohibiting service not in accordance with tariffs, unfair or unjustly discriminatory practices regarding rates, cargo classifications, cargo space accommodations, loading or landing of freight or adjustment or settlement of claims; and, undue or unreasonable preferences or advantages or undue or unreasonable prejudices or disadvantages); (3) NVOCC Service Arrangements would continue to be filed with the FMC and essential terms published; (4) all NVOCC-negotiated rates would be memorialized in writing; (5) the Commission would have access to documentation underlying negotiated rates; (6) the exemption would not PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46625 convey antitrust immunity on NVOCCs; and (7) the exemption would apply to FMC-licensed or registered NVOCCs.

Replies shall consist of an original and fifteen (15) copies, be directed to the Assistant Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., Washington, DC 20573–0001, and be served on Petitioner’s counsel Edward D.
