Abstract: Section 40501(f) of title 46 of the United States Code provides marine terminal operators (MTOs) with the option of making their schedules of rates, regulations, and practices available to the public subject to 46 U.S.C. 41102(c) and 41106. MTOs must maintain a complete set of all of their terminal schedules and shall promptly make them available to the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC or Commission) upon request, 5 CFR 525.3(a). Each MTO is required to file Form FMC-1 with the Bureau of Trade Analysis providing 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, 46 CFR 525(d). The Commission publishes a list on its website of the location of any terminal schedule made available to the public.
