COURTISSUES DECISION IN EX PARTE 261 CASE: The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., has ruled clearly in favor of the Interstate CommerceCommission’s regulatory approach over international through rates. This decision which concerned the ICe’s system of regulating nonvessel operating carriers in past years and offended the Federal Maritime Commission,aroused port and other interests which:were in a position to lose export cargo through the mini-bridge and land-bridge systems, and was also challenged by the State of Pennsylvania and the Port of Philadelphia. This case came about whenthe ICC reversed its 60 year old position in 1969, whenit decided that the growth of containerization and intermodalism was cause for reconsideration of its prior decisions to refuse to accept joint land-water through rates. The FMCprotested in 1969, but their objections were met by the ICCwhenit agreed to confine its rate regulation to the land segmentunder the Interstate CommerceAct. The Court said that the main factor in judging of such a case was whether the policy change was explainedin detail and justified so that those parties affected bythe policy would understand the newly adopted position. As a result of this decision, each agencynowretains authority over the segmentof the through rate which it wouldexercise if they wereconventionally filed, but the rates of the land and ocean carriers will continue as usual. This case is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

FORWARDERS, NVOCC’S WARNEDON FMC RULES: Ocean freight forwarders as well as non-vessel operating commoncarriers have been warned by the Federal Maritime Commissionthat under the law they are allowed to act as either a forwarder or as an NVOCC for compensation, but not as both. The FMC claims that certain licensed foreign freight forwarders are also acting as NVO’sand are collecting fees on shipments from carriers for shipments movingin their ownNVOCC service; also f~rom shippers for forwarding services, without having the correct rules describing terms and conditions, and also where appropriate, prescribing fees for this service in their respective tariffs on file with the FMC.This type of practice is contrary to the rules of the FMC,which states that NVO’smaybe licensed as independent ocean freight forwarders, but wheneversuch persons act as an NVOCC by water, they are not allowed to collect compensation nor shall any commoncarrier by water pay such compensation to NVOCC for a shipment.

JUDGEISSUES INITIAL DECISION IN LEADMINI-

BRIDGE CASE:In a decision served July 1, an Administrative LawJudge for the Federal Maritime Commissionhas issued a recommendeddecision in the Far East mini-bridge case which was the lead case in the various complaints against mini-bridge. The case started in 1973 whenSeatrain Lines started an inbound through service from Japan to the U.S. East Coast via U.S. Pacific Coast ports and Trans-Continental railroads This service was protested by the various U.S. Atlantic and Gulf ports. International Longshoreman’sAssociation (ILA). and the Council of North Atlantic Shipping Association (CONASA). Their general arguments were that they would suffer economicinjury and job losses because of lost business and that the loss was accomplished by unlawful means, such as "absorption" of inland rates and diversion of cargo. However,the Administrative LawJudge claimed he found no foundation for these arguments and disapproved them. It was felt that the complainants did not showthat any diversions of cargo had indeed occurred to any harmful extent or that carriers had absorbedinland costs to the detriment of the ports. The Administrative LawJudge stated the reason for this was that such an unlawful absorption was not established by the mere showingof a difference in the rate structure of rate return. It was also felt that the complaintfailed to showthat the actual rates involved were low enoughto be detrimental to commerce.The Port Bureau was an intervenor in this case along with the Port of Freeport as well as the Port of Houston Authority and suggested one remedymight be to apply a premiumrate to such mini-bridge service. However, the Law Judge’s decision stated there ws no need for such a basis or such a system of rates. The Port Bureauis currently studying this decision and will file exceptionto the initial decision by August 18.

REQUEST l.C.C.

FOR A RULE-MAKINGACTION: The I.C.C. has been asked to begin a rule-making action aimed at requiring railroads to file specifically definedapplications for relief under Section Four of the Interstate Commerce Act whenthey are parties to international joint rates. The petition for a rule:making was filed jointly May17 by the Alabama State DocksDepartment, the Board of Trustees of the Galveston Wharves. the Port Of Houston Authority, the HoustonPort Bureau. Inc., the State of Texas, the Board of Commissionerof the Port of NewOrleans. and the New Orleans Traffic and Transportation Bureau. Inc. The Petitioners are aiming at rules covering the form, content and mannerof justifying relief in filing Fourth Section Application pertaining to the division, rate or charge collected by common carriers subject to Parts one and two of the Interstate Commerce Act for their portion of a joint rate with a vesseloperating water carrier engaged in foreign commerce.
