OBSERVATIONS
OF
THE
HOUSTON
PORT
BUREAU
Rail piggybackrate
deregulation upheld
Rail piggyback rate deregulation, ordered by the ICC, was upheld by the
U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appealsin a decision dated September21. To slow
the avalancheof changescausedby deregulation during very recent years, the
HoustonPort Bureauand manyothers protested the ICC order. Under the U.S.
Constitution, regulation of commerce
is mandatory,not optional. The constitutionality of the Staggersrail deregulation act itself is in question. However,
the Fifth Circuit Court, in brief, held that the ICCdid not exceedits authority
under the Staggers Act.
Grain rates upheld
in Lakesports case
The Port Bureau and other defendants have won a major victory involving a
petition of the Western Great Lakes Ports Association for lower rates from
Midwesterngrain states to the Great Lakesports than to Gulf ports. In light of
all the pleadings, the ICCconcludedthat a changein current rate relations was
not warranted.
"Open" ocean shipping conferences allow vessel operators of any flag to
Senate considering participate
in U.S. foreign commerce...and to use any economicadvantage
they
have.
The
for our country is a merchantfleet woefully inadequate
protective measure to cope with a result
national emergency.Senate Bill S.1593 would establish shipper
councils, a moreclosed conference,and strong antitrust laws--all beneficial to
the United States and its national security. The National Maritime Council supports most provisions of the proposedlegislation. Manyshippers opposeclosed conferences. Obviously, foreign-flag operators are using their influence to
defeat the bill. S.1S93would also removecurrent licensing requirements for
freight forwarders. This provision has been criticized by various forwarder
associations throughout the nation.
Overcharge interest
rule proposed
Largertrailers
again proposed
November 1981
A rule to allow shippers to collect interest whenexcessfreight charges are
recovered by a shipper is proposedby the FMC.Interest collected will be the
average on six-month U.S. Treasury bills beginning the monthof the overcollection and ending the monthof the refund.
Longer, wider highway rigs and heavier payloads ore once again before the
Congress. Senate Bill S.1402 proposes a 4S-foot maximum
length for a semitrailer: a width increase from 96 to 102 inches: a minimum
rig length of 60 feet:
a maximum
rig length of 65 feet: and a 17 percent increase in maximum
axle
loading. As expected, truckers support and railroads oppose. Railroads once
again urge user fees. Interestingly, states oncerigidly opposedto user fees for
publicly-supplied facilities are taking a moreflexible position nowbecauseof
reduced federal funding.
