Coloading Practices by Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carriers; 
Shipper Affiliate Access to Service Contracts

AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission by notice of Proposed Rulemaking published 
November 24, 1993 (58 FR 62077) proposed amendments to its non-vessel-
operating common carrier (``NVOCC'') coloading rules to clarify 
ambiguities and to address current practices resulting in increased 
application of untariffed NVOCC charges. Sixty days was allowed for 
comment. Requests for additional time to comment ranging from 30 to 90 
days subsequently were filed by various interests. Upon consideration 
of these requests, the Commission determined to grant a 30-day 
extension. Upon further consideration of this matter the Commission now 
has determined to grant an additional 15 day extension.

DATES: Comments due on or before March 11, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Send comments (original and 20 copies) to: Joseph C.
