[STB Section 5a Application No. 1 (Amendment No. 11)]


Household Goods Carriers' Bureau Committee

    By application filed on March 5, 2001, the Household Goods 
Carriers' Bureau Committee (HGCBC) seeks approval of minor amendments 
to its collective ratemaking agreement.\1\ HGCBC is part of the 
American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA), but HGCBC's regulated 
activities are conducted autonomously of AMSA. HGCBC proposes to modify 
Article 3 of its agreement, to provide for: (1) A procedure whereby 
HGCBC's Board could revoke the membership of HGCBC carriers, and their 
participation in bureau tariffs, pursuant to Article IV, Section 9, of 
the bylaws of AMSA (which allows termination of AMSA membership for 
violation of its bylaws or its Certified Mover and Van Line Program 
Code of Conduct, or for engaging in any other conduct that is 
prejudicial to the interests of AMSA); (2) automatic removal of a 
carrier's membership if the carrier's operating authority is revoked by 
the federal government; and (3) non-substantive changes in the wording 
and the enumeration of sections of Article 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ HGCBC's agreement was last modified under former 49 U.S.C. 
10706(b), the predecessor to 49 U.S.C. 13703, in Household Goods 
Carriers' Bureau Agreement, Section 5a Application No. 1 (Amendment 
No. 9) (ICC served July 7, 1993). HGCBC applied for renewal of its 
agreement in Household Goods Carriers' Bureau Agreement, Section 5a 
Application No. 1 (Amendment No. 10), which is pending before the 
Board.
