The Ocean Shipping Reform Act (OSRA) of 1998, amending the Shipping Act
of 1984, establishes new rules and regulations regarding the filing
requirements of common carrier tariffs and service contracts.
|
|
|
|
Effective May 1, 1999 the FMC removed part 514 of 46 CFR and implemented
part 520 that meets the changes occasioned by OSRA. Therefore, under new
part 520 of 46 CFR, common carriers and conferences are no longer required
to file tariffs with the FMC, but will be required to publish their rates
in private, automated tariff systems.
|
|
|
|
In order to meet the new FMC tariff filing requirements as per part 520
of 46 CFR, CargoTrax offers a web based tariff filing system as part of
our service menu.

Further information on the final rule regarding
Carrier Automated Tariff Systems can be found on the Federal Maritime Commission's
Internet Web page, under Docket No. 98-29 titled Carrier Automated Tariff Systems.
