ACTION: Proposed Rule; Correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document corrects Appendix A to part 520 in the proposed rule published December 21, 1998 (63 FR 70368). The proposed rule concerned the requirements for carrier automated tariff systems in accordance with the Shipping Act of 1984, as modified by Public Law 105-258 (the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1988) and Sec. 424 of Public Law 105-383 (the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bryant L. VanBrakle, Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol St., NW, Washington, DC 20573, (202) 523-5725. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As published, the proposed rule, in error, omitted parts of Appendix A, Standard Terminology and Codes. The portions omitted contained the codes under the headings Inland Transportation Modes, Shipment Service Types, Freight Forwarder/Broker Type Codes and Tariff Type Codes. Accordingly, in the proposed rule beginning on page 70368 in the issue of December 21, 1998, make the following correction. Beginning on page 70379, Appendix A to part 520 is corrected to read as follows: Appendix A--Standard Terminology and Codes I. Publishing/Amendment Type Codes Code Definition A Increase. C Change resulting in neither increase nor decrease in rate or charges. E Expiration (also use ``A'' if the deletion results in the application of a higher ``cargo, n.o.s.'' or similar rate).

M Transportation of U.S. Department of Defense cargo by American- flag common carriers. P Addition of a port or point. R Reduction.

Requires ``Special Case Number.'' T Terminal Rates, charges or provisions or canal tolls over which the carrier has no control. W Withdrawal of an erroneous publication on the same publication date. X Exemption for controlled carrier data in trades served exclusively by controlled carriers or by controlled carriers of states receiving most-favored-nation treatment. II.
