Protective Service and Accessorial Service Rate Tenders

AGENCY: Military Traffic Management Command, Department of the Army.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), on behalf of 
the Department of Defense (DOD), intends to modify the procedures used 
to receive protective and accessorial service rates and charges from 
the commercial transportation industry. Effective October 1, 1997, 
motor and rail carriers will no longer be allowed to file protective 
and accessorial 1000 and 2000 tenders. All 1000 and 2000 tenders must 
be cancelled by supplement allowing 30 days notice. Carriers may cancel 
at any time; however, the effective date of the cancellation must not 
be later than September 30, 1997. All protective and accessorial 
services will be filed in Section F of the carrier's individual rate 
tenders.

DATES: These instructions are effective June 16, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Headquarters, Military Traffic Management Command, ATTN: 
MTOP-T, Room 617, 5611 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041-5050.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Walt Scullion, (201) 823-5471 or Ms. Eunice Anderson, (703) 681-
9397.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1000 and 2000 tenders were established to 
reduce the carriers manual tender filing workload. With the advent of 
computer and electronic tender filing capabilities via Electronic Data 
Interchange (EDI), MTMC does not see the necessity of the 1000 and 2000 
tenders. MSTIP No. 364-A and all rules publications will be modified to 
remove reference to the 1000 and 2000 tenders. Upon publication of this 
notice, carriers will be expected to comply with the above new policy.
