Monitoring Report for

Agreements between or among Ocean Common Carriers

For assistance in preparing agreement data and information to complete
the Monitoring Report, please refer to the instructions contained in
appendix B of 46 CFR part 535, or contact the Federal Maritime
Commission, Bureau of Trade Analysis at (202) 523-5845, or
tradeanalysis@fmc.gov. As provided in 46 CFR 535.701(d), the Monitoring
Report form may be downloaded from the Commission's home page at
*http://www.fmc.gov*. Parties to agreements subject to the Monitoring
Report requirements may complete and submit their Monitoring Reports in
the Commission's prescribed electronic format, either on diskette or
CD-ROM.

# Use of Electronic Report

An electronic version of the Monitoring Report has been prepared in
*Microsoft Office Word 2003* ("Word") and allows filers to
electronically fill out the required Monitoring Report and submit
agreement data electronically. The tables embedded in this form contain
*Worksheets* in *Microsoft Office Excel 2003* ("Excel"). Although the
format is slightly different, the form collects the same information and
data collected by the Monitoring Report published in appendix B of 46
CFR part 535. To open the *Worksheets*, right click on the tables,
select *Worksheet Object*, and then select *Open*. The *Worksheet* will
open to the main menu in Excel (if the software is installed on your
computer).

The applicable data for each agreement party may be entered directly
into the *Worksheet* cells in the prescribed format. Alternatively, for
convenience, data or *Worksheets* from external Excel files may be
copied or imported into the *Worksheet* tables contained in this form.
Please ensure that the format of the data in any external Excel files
fully complies with the required format prescribed in appendix B of 46
CFR part 535. For technical assistance on copying or importing Excel
files, please refer to *Microsoft Excel Help*.

To add more *Worksheets* ("Tabs") within the tables, left click on
*Insert* from the Excel menu bar, and select *Worksheet*. To exit the
*Worksheet* tables when completed, left click on *File* from the Excel
menu bar, and select "*Close & Return to Monitoring_Rpt.doc*" or simply
left click on the Excel *Close Button*. The table will return to the
main body of the form; however, the table will still be in the active
select mode and may be deleted by accident. To deactivate the select
mode, left click outside of the table area in the main body of the form.
If a table is deleted by accident, it can be retrieved in Word. To
retrieve a deleted table, left click on *Edit* from the Word menu bar,
and select *Undo*. Once these steps have been completed, the table
should be saved from within Word. To save the table, left click on
*File* from the Word menu bar, and select *Save*.
