SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On September 2, 2005, the Federal Maritime Commission published a Notice of Inquiry requesting public comment on possible changes to its exemption for non-vessel-operating common carriers from certain tariff publication requirements of the Shipping Act of 1984. On page 52345 of the Federal Register , in the third column, in the fourth sentence of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION , the quotation of the Commission's regulation at 46 CFR 531.3(p) incorrectly omitted the phrase "or two or more affiliated NVOCCs." The entire sentence should read as follows:

The rule defines an NSA as "a written contract, other than a bill of lading or receipt, between one or more NSA shippers and an individual NVOCC or two or more affiliated NVOCCs, in which the NSA shipper makes a commitment to provide a certain minimum quantity or portion of its cargo or freight revenue over a fixed time period, and the NVOCC commits to a certain rate or rate schedule and a defined service level." 46 CFR 531.3(p).

Bryant L. VanBrakle,

Secretary.
