DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[Docket No. RR 999 (Amendment No. 5)] 

Released Rates of Motor Common 

Carriers of Household Goods 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. 

ACTION: Notice of changes to rules 

protecting consumers during interstate 

household-goods moves. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of 

recent Board decisions concerning 

interstate household-goods moves. In a 

decision served January 21, 2011 

(January 2011 Decision), the Board 

implemented a Congressional directive 

to enhance consumer protection in the 

case of loss or damage that occurs 

during interstate household-goods 

moves.1 The January 2011 Decision 

required movers to provide certain 

information concerning the two 

available cargo-liability options 2 on the 

written estimate form—the first form 

that a moving company must give to a 

customer—and tentatively raised the 

dollar value levels used in reimbursing 

a consumer under the replacementvalue option for lost or damaged goods 

when the consumer had not declared in 

advance how much the goods were 

worth. In a decision served on January 

12, 2012 (January 2012 Decision), the 

Board, after reviewing comments filed 

in response to the January 2011 

Decision, modified the requirement in 

the January 2011 Decision that certain 

information be put on the estimate form, 

and it adopted the raised value levels. 

In particular, the estimate form will now 

require a shorter notice to be 

conspicuously placed to notify the 

consumer early on that it will need to 

select a liability option at a later time. 

The brief notice must also refer a 

potential customer to two sources of 

further information on the two liability 

levels and their meaning. Furthermore, 

the Board will require that movers 

include the lengthier Valuation 

Statement 3 on the bill of lading. In 

addition, the Board affirmed that the 

charges for full-value protection when 

the customer does not provide a 

declared value for a shipment will be 

the higher of $6.00 per pound (which 

may be indexed annually) or $6,000. 

The Board also clarified other aspects of 

the January 2011 Decision, including 

the application of these changes to 

household-goods freight forwarders. 

Finally, the Board established April 2, 

2011, as the effective date for moving 

companies to comply with the changes 

outlined in the two decisions. These 

Board decisions are available on the 

Board’s Web site at www.stb.dot.gov. 

By decision served on March 9, 2012, 

the Board granted in part the request of 

the American Moving and Storage 

Association for a postponement of the 

effective date of the decisions. The 

January 2011 and January 2012 

Decisions will become effective on May 

15, 2012. 

This decision will not significantly 

affect either the human environment or 

the conservation of energy resources. 

Decided: March 8, 2012. 

By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice 

Chairman Mulvey, and Commissioner 

Begeman.

Clearance Clerk.
