Into the Military Freight Traffic Unified

Department of the Army, DOD.
The Military Surface
Deployment and Distribution Command
(SDDC) is providing notice that it
intends to publish its consolidated
procurement requirements of
commercial transportation services
publication, the MFTURP No. 1, which
governs the purchase of surface freight
transportation in the Continental United
States (CONUS) by DOD using Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) exempt
transportation service contracts. The
purpose for this new procurement
procedure is to streamline the
transportation requirements to reflect
the current needs of the DOD.

July 9, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A notice proposing this publication
and an open comment period was
published in the Federal Register (74
FR 13423) on Friday, March 27, 2009. In
response to this notice, a total of six (6)
comments were received. A summary of
the comments and SDDC’s responses are
as follows:
Comment one (1): It is not believed
that the unified rules currently provide
Full Replacement Value (FRV) for
Household Goods (HHG) Freight All
Kinds (FAK) shipments correctly. Also
believes that deletion of verbiage that
AGENCY:
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
indicates shipper can increase carrier
liability because it is covered in another
item.
Response one (1): SDDC has no
objection to the revised verbiage
provided by the commenter and will
incorporate changes as annotated.
Comment two (2): For the sake of
clarity and ease of understanding, SDDC
is urged to adopt and use uniform
terminology by referring specifically to
TSP brokers, freight forwarders and
logistics companies when that meaning
is intended.
Response two (2): SDDC agrees with
commenter and will incorporate clear
terminology when referring specifically
to that segment of transportation service
providers.
Comment three (3): Within Section A,
Part II, Paragraph C.1, there is a
requirement to provide 24-hour on call
point of contact information on all
subcontracted TSPs. Commenter
believes this information should be with
the prime contractor, i.e., the broker,
freight forwarder, or logistic provider.
Response three (3): SDDC understands
this might produce more information
than what is truly needed. As a result,
SDDC will retain the requirement of the
broker, freight forwarder or logistic
company to maintain an electronic
listing of all subcontracted TSPs it may
utilize in the transportation of DoD
freight. However, the requirement to
also provide the subcontracted TSP’s
corporate office address, telephone
numbers and 24-hour point of contact
will be removed. This information
should remain with the broker, freight
forwarder and/or logistic company.
Comment four (4): Within Section A,
Part II, Paragraph C.3, contains
ambiguity in terminology. To clarify
intent, the first sentence should read:
‘‘Subcontracted TSP will provide
sufficient documentation for SDDC to
verify and confirm that they have been
engaged by the TSP broker, freight
forwarder or logistics company named
on the BL or shipment documentation.’’
Response four (4): SDDC agrees, for
the most part, with the verbiage
provided by the commenter, with a
small modification to provide the
shipper the sufficient documentation to
verify the subcontracted TSP has been
engaged by the broker, freight forwarder
or logistics company named on the BL
or shipment documentation.
Comment five (5): In Section A, Part
II, Paragraph C.8, commenter believes
that any request for shipment status
should make clear that such requests be
made to the prime broker, freight
forwarder or logistics company.
Response five (5): SDDC agrees and
will provide the following verbiage:
E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM
09JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 9, 2009 / Notices
‘‘The status of any shipment tendered to
a broker, freight forwarder, or logistics
company will be provided within 24
hours upon SDDC’s request to the
broker, freight forwarder or logistics
company’s designated POC.’’
Comment six (6): In Section A, Part II,
Paragraph E.4, expand requirement to
include email load confirmations that is
available to SDDC and the driver.
Response six (6): While this particular
paragraph deals, specifically, with TSPs
with motor authority that may
participate in long-term leases with
other TSPs, the suggestion is viable and
will be incorporated.
