following reasons: to assist with
document handling, inventory, and
indexing; to assist with document
review and analysis; to verify
completeness; and to provide technical
review of submittals. The contract
complies with all requirements of 40
CFR 2.310(h)(2). EPA Region 9 will
require that each of the contractor’s
employees with access to CBI sign a
written agreement that he or she: (1)

contractor for performance of the work
required by the contract or upon
completion of the contract.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
Petition of the National Customs
Brokers and Forwarders Association
of America, Inc. for Exemption From
Mandatory Rate Tariff Publication;
Notice of Filing
Notice is hereby given that National
Customs Brokers and Forwarders
Association of America, Inc.
(‘‘Petitioner’’) has petitioned, pursuant
to 49 U.S.C. 40103 (former Section 16 of
the Shipping Act of 1984 (‘‘the Shipping
Act’’)), and 46 CFR 502.67 and 502.69,
for an exemption from the provisions of
the Shipping Act that require nonvessel-operating common carriers
(‘‘NVOCCs’’) to publish and adhere to
all ocean tariff rates. Specifically,
Petitioner requests that NVOCCs be
exempted from the provisions of the
Shipping Act requiring NVOCCs to
publish and adhere to rate tariffs in
those instances where an NVOCC has
individually negotiated rates with its
shipping customers and memorialized
those rates in writing. 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.
In order for the Commission to make
a thorough evaluation of the Petition,
interested persons are requested to
submit views or arguments in reply to
the Petition no later than September 26,
2008. 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.
Greenberg, Esq., Galland, Kharasch,
Greenberg, Fellman & Swirsky, P.C.,
1054 Thirty-First Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20037–4492. A copy of
the reply shall be submitted in
electronic form (Microsoft Word 2003)
by e-mail to secretary@fmc.gov. The
Petition will be posted on the
Commission’s Web site at https://
www.fmc.gov/reading/Petitions.asp.
Replies filed in response to this petition
also will be posted on the Commission’s
Web site at this location.
Parties participating in this
proceeding may elect to receive service
of the Commission’s issuances in this
proceeding through email in lieu of
service by U.S mail. A party opting for
electronic service shall advise the Office
of the Secretary in writing and provide
an e-mail address where service can be
