Abstract: Section 8(f) of the Shipping Act of 1984 provides marine terminal operators (MTOs) with the option of making their schedules of rates, regulations and practices available to the public subject to section 10(d) of the Act. MTOs must maintain in their offices a complete set of all of their terminal schedules and shall promptly make them available to the FMC upon request. Each MTO is required to file Form FMC-1 with the Bureau of Trade Analysis advising of its organization name, organization number, home office address, name and telephone number of the firm's representative, the location of its terminal schedule(s), and the publisher, if any, used to maintain its terminal schedule. The Commission publishes a list on its website of the location of any terminal schedule made available to the public. The respondents in this information collection are MTOs.
