Shipper Affiliate Access to Service Contracts

AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of time.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission by Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published 
November 24, 1993 (58 FR 62077) proposed amendments to its Non-Vessel-
Operating Common Carriers (NVOCC) coloading rules to clarify 
ambiguities and to address current practices resulting in increased 
application of untariffed NVOCC charges. Sixty days was allowed for 
comment. Requests for additional time to comment ranging from 30 to 90 
days have been filed by various interests. Upon consideration of the 
requests, the Commission has determined to grant a 30-day extension, 
thereby providing a total of 90 days for comment, which is deemed 
adequate under the circumstances.

DATES: Comments due on or before February 24, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Send comments (original and 20 copies) to: Joseph C. 
Polking, Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol St.,
