🚢FMC Plans to Revoke Exemptions for Controlled Carriers
Notice of Intent To Revoke Exemptions Granted to Certain Controlled Carriers
Summary
The Federal Maritime Commission ("Commission") intends to revoke certain exemptions that had been granted to some controlled carriers, allowing for their rates, charges, classifications, rules or regulations to become effective with less than thirty (30) days' notice. This revocation would apply to exemptions that were granted to entities that have since been removed from the Commission's list of controlled carriers. Exemptions that have been granted to controlled carriers that remain on this list would continue to be valid but may be reviewed in the future. The Commission invites comments from the public on this proposed action.
