Surface Transportation Board May 18, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Mayflower Transit, LLC (Mayflower), on behalf of itself and certain affiliated companies, filed an application with the Board under 49 U.S.C. 14302 for approval of revisions to its pooling agreement. The Board establishes a procedural schedule for the submission of public comments on the proposed revisions, principally the requirement that carrier agents may not transport under their own motor carrier authority any interstate shipments of household goods except, subject to Mayflower policies, shipments for the government. After reviewing any comments received, the Board will determine whether it has sufficient information to decide whether the proposed revisions meet the standard for approval under section 14302 or whether a hearing is necessary prior to such a determination.
