AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.
SUMMARY: The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command

MFTURP No. 1 on February 17, 2010. The interim change removes Motor 
Surveillance Service (MVS) from Item 107 and replaces Item 107 with 
Trailer Tracking Service (DCS). The change also updates Item 111, 
Satellite Motor Surveillance Service (SNS).

SDDC-OPM, Fort Eustis, VA 23604-1644. Request for additional

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Reference: Military Freight Traffic Unified Rules Publications 
(MFTURP) No. 1.
    Background: The MFTURP No. 1 governs the purchase of surface 
freight transportation in the Continental United States (CONUS) by DoD 
using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) exempt transportation 
service contracts.
    Motor Surveillance Service (MVS) has been removed from the MFTURP-1 
because it is a Transportation Protective Service (TPS) that is no 
longer used.
    Trailer Tracking Service (DCS) is a new TPS that augments Satellite 
Monitoring Service (SNS) for Security Risk Category (SRC) I-IV motor 
shipments travelling via closed-box-van trailers. SNS only allows the 
Defense Transportation Tracking System (DTTS) to track a Transportation 
Service Provider's (TSP) tractor. With the addition of DCS, DTTS will 
now be alerted if the closed-box-van trailer has been unhooked from the 
tractor or if the trailer's door has been opened while in transit.
    The Satellite Motor Surveillance Service verbiage has been updated 
in order to reflect current SNS operating procedures.

publications, can be accessed via the SDDC Web site at: http://
