GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

Federal Supply Service


Standard Tender of Service

AGENCY: Federal Supply Service, GSA

ACTION: Notice of final implementation of interim 2 percent insurance 
related subcharge.

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

SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) has adopted an 
interim 2 percent ``insurance related surcharge'' requested by the 
freight motor carrier industry, hereinafter referred to as 
transportation service provider (TSP). This surcharge allows a TSP to 
recover escalating insurance premiums resulting from changes in the 
economy compounded by events of September 11, 2001. Notice of this 
adoption was published for comment in the Federal Register on May 9, 
2002 (67 FR 31307), and comments were due by June 10, 2002. GSA 
received one comment. The comment was from the Government Relations 
Committee of the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc., and 
it supported implementation of the surcharge. The 2 percent interim 
surcharge therefore is implemented as published in the attachment to 67 
FR 31307. The provisions of the attachment also may be accessed at 
http://www.kc.gsa.gov/fsstt/FRT/stos.htm under the ``What's New'' item 
posted to the Web site on May 9, 2002.

DATES: Effective Date: May 1, 2002; Expiration Date: October 31, 2002.
