[Meeting Facilitator -- Raymond Price, Transportation Programs Branch,
Travel and Transportation Management Division]{.underline}

Mr. Price opened the meeting and welcomed the attendees. This
semi-annual meeting serves as a platform for Transportation Service
Providers (TSPs) to discuss and raise their concerns regarding GSA's
Freight Management Program and the Centralized Household Goods Traffic
Management Program (CHAMP).

[Opening Remarks -- Tauna Delmonico, Travel and Transportation
Management Division]{.underline}

Ms. Delmonico gave the status of the GSA reorganization which combines
the Federal Supply Service and the Federal Technology Service. The
reorganization is still pending as the unions review the proposed
changes.

[Governmentwide Relocation Advisory Board (GRAB) Update -- Henry Maury,
GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy]{.underline}

Mr. Maury gave the group an [overview](../GRABUpdate20061102.pdf) of
GRAB's Strategic Themes, GSA's Action Plan, and Federal Travel
Regulations Changes and Legislative Proposals. The presentation is
attached. Questions may be directed to Henry Maury at
<henry.maury@gsa.gov> or 202 208-7928. Additional information regarding

[Transportation Service Providers (TSPs) Survey -- Angela Jones, Program
Evaluation Branch]{.underline}

Ms. Jones explained the survey's purpose of the TSP Survey and presented
the [results](../TSP2006SurveyResults.pdf). CFI conducts the survey and
GSA uses the findings to focus on quality improvements. She thanked the
TSPs for their participation.

[General Updates/Issues-- Brian Kellhofer, Kansas City Program
Management Office]{.underline}

400N Modified Tariff -- Mr. Kellhofer told the group that GSA is
considering offering dual tariffs. The current 415G tariff and some
variation of the 400N would be offered. Joe Harrison, President,
American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA) gave the agencies an
overview detailing the difference in the two tariffs at the November
1^st^ meeting. The new tariff would not be the 400N but some
modification where elements of the 415G would remain and others in the
400N would be adopted. The Federal agencies will retain the ability to
make exceptions. GSA will keep the group abreast as additional
information is available.

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) -- GSA is testing new software for the
filing of rates and the quarterly shipment and claims reports. When
functional, TSPs will submit rates, shipment reports, and claim reports
through an upload function within TMSS. Information about the change
will be communicated to TSPs via letters, listserv email messages, and
What's New posting. In the meantime, TSPs should continue to file
reports and rates as they have in the past.

Carrier Evaluation Report (3080) -- Ms. Kim Chancellor is processing the
3080s and she is calculating the Customer Satisfaction Scores (CSIs).
GSA will accept GSA Forms 3080 for shipments delivered in 2006 through
February 28, 2007. At that point, the final GSA Form 3080 report will be
distributed. The 2007 CSI, with an effective date of November 1, 2007
will be distributed in May of 2007.

Household Goods Fuel Surcharge -- Effective May 1, 2007 GSA will adopt
the new cents per mile fuel surcharge. Detailed information about this
new fuel surcharge will be published in the supplemental Request for
Offers (RFO), which will be distributed in February, 2007. Brian
Kellhofer will look at the fuel surcharge on freight shipments as his
next project. Anyone interested in participating in this working group
should contact Brian at <brian.kellhofer@gsa.gov>.

[Freight Transaction Fee -- Donna Graige, Transportation Programs
Branch]{.underline}

Ms. Donna Graige explained the recent change in the collection method
for the transaction fee on depot shipments. This change aligns the
freight collection process with all other vendors and household goods
TSPs remittance to GSA. Freight TSPs are the only vendors that do not
currently remit a transaction fee to GSA. .

The open rate filing window gives TSPs an opportunity to adjust rates as
appropriate to facilitate the four percent on depot shipments. The
transaction fee is based on total net charges because all other product
and services are calculated.

TMSS will calculate the quarterly transportation fee. TMSS will reduce
paper work and eliminate paper invoicing. Payments to the TSPs should be
made within three to five days. TSPs can access TMSS to obtain the
information for transaction fee remittance. Online reports will be
available at the end the quarter. Questions may be sent to Ms. Graige at
<donna.graige@gsa.gov>.

[Retirement of the Public Voucher for Transportation Charges (SF 1113)
-- Elizabeth Allison, Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP)]{.underline}

Ms. Elizabeth Allison wasn't at the meeting, but she provided an update
to be included in the minutes. The Federal Management Regulation
amendment on the SF 1113 is on hold. It appears that the Government is
not in a position for totally electronic transportation systems. As a
result, OGP has sent a recommendation forward to shelve the SF 1113
retirement for the time being.

[Highway Watch Training -- Samuel Garza, American Trucking
Association]{.underline}

Mr. Samuel Garza, Manager of Training, provided optional Highway Watch
training to 15 meeting attendees. Highway Watch is administered by the
American Trucking Association under a Cooperative Agreement with the
U.S. Transportation Security Administration. Anyone interested in
securing training should contact Mr. Garza at <sgarza@trucking.org> or
703 838-1929.
