Abstract:
While rail carriers are no longer required to file rate tariffs at the STB, a statutory requirement exists for water carriers that provide freight transportation in noncontiguous domestic trade (i.e., domestic, as opposed to international, shipments moving to or from Alaska, Hawaii, or the U.S. territories or possessions (Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands)). A tariff provides a list of prices and fees that the carrier charges to the shipping public. These tariffs may be filed electronically. The final rule will now allow water carriers to use (a) their usual business internet postings of their tariffs and (b) the filing of an annual certificate with the Board to meet their filing responsibilities.
