the Movement of Foreign Military Sales Material)

AGENCY: Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), Department of the

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) is proposing to 
change its rate verification procedure by requiring that carriers file 
tenders of service to participate in Foreign Military Sales (FMS) 
traffic, as follows:
    Carriers who want to participate in FMS movements will submit a 
voluntary Standard Tender(s) of Freight Services MT Form 364-R numbered 
in the 300000 series (300001 through 349999) applicable to FMS material 
only. Tenders will be consecutively numbered and prepared according to 
instructions contained in MTMC Standard Tender Instruction Publication 
No. 364A. Rules and accessorial services governing movement will be 
MTMC Freight Traffic Rules Publication (MFTRP) No. 1A for motor 
transportation and MFTRP No. 10 for rail transportation. The applicable 
publication must be shown as a governing publication in Section B of 
the tender for the tender to be considered for routing.

DATES: The policy change is effective no earlier than 60 days after 
publication of this notice.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are requested to submit comments on this 
proposal. The comments should be addressed to Headquarters, Military 
Traffic Management Command, Room 117, 5611 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, 
VA 22041-5050, ATTN: MTTM-D (Barbara McGinnis).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MTMC's procedural change supports the Office 
of the Secretary of Defense's initiative to automate the Government 
Bill of Lading payment process for the Department of Defense. This 
notice supersedes the April 3, 1996, Federal Register notice pertaining 
to ``Tender Filing Instructions for the Movement of Foreign Military 
Sales (FMS) Material,'' 61 FR 14760.
