20072 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 78 / Monday, April 24, 1995 / Proposed Rules

5. Section 383.3 is proposed to be

amended by revising paragraph (g) to

read as follows:

§ 383.3 Determination of fair and

reasonable rates.

* * * * *

(g) Total rate. The operating cost

component, capital cost component,

fuel cost component and port and cargo

handling cost component shall be added

together to yield a total cost element.

This total shall be multiplied by 13.5

percent to yield an allowance for

broker’s commissions, and general and

administrative expenses. This allowance

shall be added to the total cost element

and divided by the cargo tonnage to

yield the guideline rate, generally

expressed as a cost per ton, except in

those circumstances where a cost per

ton rate is not appropriate; for example,

where two or more cargoes are carried

on the same voyage at differing rates per

ton. In the event a cost per ton rate is

inappropriate, the rate shall be

expressed in terms appropriate to the

circumstance.

By order of the Maritime Administrator.

Joel C. Richard,

Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On August 3, 1994, the Service

published a proposal (59 FR 39524) to

add seven freshwater mussels (fat threeridge, shiny-rayed pocketbook, Gulf

moccasinshell, Ochlockonee

moccasinshell, oval pigtoe, Chipola

slabshell, and purple bankclimber) to

the list of endangered and threatened

animals. These seven species are

endemic to the Apalachicolan Region of

the eastern Gulf Slope, defined as the

rivers from the Escambia River in the

west to the Suwannee River in the east.

These drainages comprise southeast

Alabama, southwest Georgia, and north

Florida.

Section 4(b)(5)(E) of the Act requires

that a public hearing be held if

requested within 45 days of the

publication of a proposed rule. By

September 19, 1994, the Service had

received 12 public hearing requests on

the proposal to list these seven mussels.

The Service conducted five public

informational meetings and five public

hearings in January 1995. A notice of

the public informational meetings,

public hearings, and reopening of the

comment period until February 10,

1995, was published in the Federal

Register on December 12, 1994 (59 FR

The Service hereby announces the

reopening of the comment period until

May 5, 1995. This extension will allow

the Service to accept comments received

after the close of the previous comment

period and the interested public to

further comment upon these proposals.
