FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 94-04]

 

Cancellation of Tariffs for Failure To Comply With Automated 
Tariff Filing and Information System (``ATFI'') Filing Requirements

    On July 25, 1994, the Commission served an Order in this proceeding 
that directed the cancellation of certain tariffs published by common 
carriers because of their failure to comply with the Commission's 
Automated Tariff Filing and Information system's (``ATFI'') filing 
requirements. The Order specified that the tariffs identified in the 
Order would be canceled five days after the publication of the 
Commission's Order.\1\ Included among the tariffs to be canceled was a 
tariff published by the Equipment Interchange Discussion Agreement 
(``EIDA''). This tariff, which is a general reference tariff, contains 
the terms and conditions including free time and detention charges for 
the carriers participating in EIDA's tariff.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\The Order was published in the Federal Register on July 29, 
1994. Thus, the tariffs will be canceled effective August 3, 1994.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EIDA requests that the Commission grant it 28 days, i.e., until 
August 31, 1994, to convert its tariff into ATFI format.\2\ In so 
doing, it submits that this relief would be fair in light of its ``good 
faith belief'' that the Commission's rules did not require it to 
convert its tariff to ATFI format.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\EIDA, in its response to the Order initiating this 
proceeding, requested 60 days to convert its tariff into ATFI in the 
event the Commission disagreed with its assertion that its tariff 
should be exempted from ATFI. The Commission's July 25 Order 
inadvertently did not address this request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission will grant EIDA's request. EIDA will be given until 
August 31, 1994, to file its tariff in ATFI. Failure to file its tariff 
in ATFI by that date will result in the cancellation of EIDA's tariff 
effective August 31, 1994.
    Therefore, it is ordered That EIDA's request be granted.

    By the Commission.
Joseph C. Polking,
Secretary.
