Section 8(c) of the Shipping Act of 1984 (1984 Act) (46 U.S.C. 40502), as amended by the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998 (OSRA), requires ocean common carriers and agreements among such carriers to file their service contracts confidentially with the Commission and to publish certain essential terms of those service contracts. Service contracts are written contracts between one or more shippers or a shippers’ association and an individual ocean common carrier or an agreement between or among ocean common carriers in which the shipper makes a commitment to provide a certain minimum quantity or portion of its cargo or freight revenue over a fixed period, and the ocean common carrier or the agreement commits to a certain rate or rate schedule as well as defined service level, such as assured space, transit time, port rotation, etc. Authority to file or delegate the authority to file must be requested by a responsible official of the service contract carrier in writing by submitting the Form FMC-83, Service Contract Registration.

Miscellaneous Actions
The slight decrease in total burden is attributable to the reduction in the respondent universe by one ocean carrier that is no longer operating in the U.S. trades. The regulatory relief granted under this rule allows ocean carriers greater flexibility in expeditiously contracting with shippers for ocean transportation services. The additional time afforded to the carrier for filing original service contacts has no impact on an individual respondent’s burden. (See Attachment 1).
