FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION 

[Petition P1–08] 

Petition of the National Customs 

Brokers and Forwarders Association 

of America, Inc. for Exemption From 

Mandatory Rate Tariff Publication; 

Notice of Filing 

Notice is hereby given that National 

Customs Brokers and Forwarders 

Association of America, Inc. 

(‘‘Petitioner’’) has petitioned, pursuant 

to 49 U.S.C. 40103 (former Section 16 of 

the Shipping Act of 1984 (‘‘the Shipping 

Act’’)), and 46 CFR 502.67 and 502.69, 

for an exemption from the provisions of 

the Shipping Act that require nonvessel-operating common carriers 

(‘‘NVOCCs’’) to publish and adhere to 

all ocean tariff rates. Specifically, 

Petitioner requests that NVOCCs be 

exempted from the provisions of the 

Shipping Act requiring NVOCCs to 

publish and adhere to rate tariffs in 

those instances where an NVOCC has 

individually negotiated rates with its 

shipping customers and memorialized 

those rates in writing. Petitioner further 

clarifies its request by stating that: (1) 

The exemption would be voluntary and 

apply only to rate tariffs; (2) negotiated 

rates and related disputes would be 

governed by contract law and therefore 

exempt from 49 U.S.C. 40501(a)–(e) and 

(g) (formerly sections 8(a), (b), (d) and 

(g) of the Shipping Act—governing tariff 

contents and publication, time volume 

rates, 30 day’s notice for increases, and 

accessibility and accuracy of automated 

tariffs); 40503 (formerly section 8(e)—

setting out procedures for refunds and 

waivers) and 41104(2), (4) and (8) 

(formerly sections 10(b)(2), (4) and (8)—

prohibiting service not in accordance 

with tariffs, unfair or unjustly 

discriminatory practices regarding rates, 

cargo classifications, cargo space 

accommodations, loading or landing of 

freight or adjustment or settlement of 

claims; and, undue or unreasonable 

preferences or advantages or undue or 

unreasonable prejudices or 

disadvantages); (3) NVOCC Service 

Arrangements would continue to be 

filed with the FMC and essential terms 

published; (4) all NVOCC-negotiated 

rates would be memorialized in writing; 

(5) the Commission would have access 

to documentation underlying negotiated 

rates; (6) the exemption would not 

convey antitrust immunity on NVOCCs; 

and (7) the exemption would apply to 

FMC-licensed or registered NVOCCs. 

In order for the Commission to make 

a thorough evaluation of the Petition, 

interested persons are requested to 

submit views or arguments in reply to 

the Petition no later than September 26, 

2008. Replies shall consist of an original

Maritime Commission, 800 North 

Capitol Street, NW., Washington, DC 

20573–0001, and be served on

Greenberg, Esq., Galland, Kharasch, 

Greenberg, Fellman & Swirsky, P.C., 

1054 Thirty-First Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20037–4492. A copy of 

the reply shall be submitted in 

electronic form (Microsoft Word 2003) 

by e-mail to secretary@fmc.gov. The
