DOT/FHWA RIN: 2125-AE30 Publication ID: Spring 2000 
Title: Transportation of Household Goods; Consumer Protection Regulations 
Abstract: The FHWA proposes to amend the regulations governing the transportation of household goods. These regulations protect consumers who ship household goods by motor vehicle. This action is necessary to implement the ICC Termination Act of 1995, (ICCTA), Pub. L. 104-88, 109 Stat. 803, and to update the regulations. The intended effect of this proposal is to make the regulations easier to read and understand, remove an outdated report, address hostage freight problems (situations where non-binding estimates are lower than actual charges and the carrier refuses to deliver freight even after 110 percent of the estimate is paid at the time of delivery), modify a consumer protection publication, consider industry requests to change the rules, and propose conforming and technical amendments. This action was transferred to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration under RIN 2126-AA32.
