MTMC Pam 55-4 ``How to do Business in the DOD Personal Property 
Program''. Defense Transportation Regulation Part IV, DOD Personal 
Property Program; Tender of Service

AGENCY: Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), DoD.

ACTION: Notice; Moratorium.

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

SUMMARY: Moratorium on accepting application in the DOD Personal 
Property Program. MTMC, as Program Manager of the Department of Defense 
(DOD) Personal Property Shipment and Storage Program (the Program), 
proposes to streamline and strengthen the carrier qualification 
process. Due to the administrative workload to requalify current DOD 
participants we must impose a moratorium. See item in this Federal 
Register from MTMC, notice on new procedures, MTMC Pam 55-4 ``How to do 
Business in the DOD Personal Property Program''; Defense Transportation 
Regulation Part IV; Tender of Service (request for comments), which 
addresses the streamlining and strengthening of carrier qualification 
procedures. A moratorium has been established on accepting new 
applications in the Department of Defense (DOD) Personal Property 
Program for a period of time to allow smooth transition to the new 
electronic carrier qualification process. This period of time will not 
exceed one year and will end when all participants are re-qualified.

DATES: The moratorium will be effective November 16, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Sylvia Walker, Headquarters, 
Military Traffic Management Command, Attn: MTPP-HQ, Room 10N67-51, 
Hoffman Building II, 200 Stovall Street, Alexandria, VA 22332-5000; 
Telephone (703) 428-2982; Telfax (703) 428-3388/3389.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Moratorium

    Current: MTMC has no moratorium.
    Proposed: MTMC will impose a temporary moratorium on accepting new 
applications for qualification beginning 10 days from the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. MTMC may reduce the 
moratorium to a lesser period based on the time it takes to complete 
transition from the manual to the electronic applicaiton process. Once 
the moratorium is lifted future applicants must qualify under the new 
qualification procedures.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., does not apply 
because no information requirements or records keeping responsibilities 
are imposed on offerors, contractors, or members of the public.

III. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This change is related to public contracts and is designed to 
streamline and strengthen the DOD personal property carrier 
qualification program. This change is not considered rule making within 
the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5, U.S.C. 601-612.
