[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 115 (Monday, June 16, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 32588] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-15684] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Army Protective Service and Accessorial Service Rate Tenders AGENCY: Military Traffic Management Command, Department of the Army. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), on behalf of the Department of Defense (DOD), intends to modify the procedures used to receive protective and accessorial service rates and charges from the commercial transportation industry. Effective October 1, 1997, motor and rail carriers will no longer be allowed to file protective and accessorial 1000 and 2000 tenders. All 1000 and 2000 tenders must be cancelled by supplement allowing 30 days notice. Carriers may cancel at any time; however, the effective date of the cancellation must not be later than September 30, 1997. All protective and accessorial services will be filed in Section F of the carrier's individual rate tenders. DATES: These instructions are effective June 16, 1997. ADDRESSES: Headquarters, Military Traffic Management Command, ATTN: MTOP-T, Room 617, 5611 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041-5050. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Walt Scullion, (201) 823-5471 or Ms. Eunice Anderson, (703) 681- 9397. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1000 and 2000 tenders were established to reduce the carriers manual tender filing workload. With the advent of computer and electronic tender filing capabilities via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), MTMC does not see the necessity of the 1000 and 2000 tenders. MSTIP No. 364-A and all rules publications will be modified to remove reference to the 1000 and 2000 tenders. Upon publication of this notice, carriers will be expected to comply with the above new policy. Gregory D. Showalter, Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.
