Revision of MTMC Freight Traffic Rules Publication No. 4A, Item 255 and MTMC Guaranteed Traffic Rules Publication No. 50, Item 715, both entitled ``Computation of Freight Charges''

Resumo

The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), as the Department of Defense (DOD) Traffic Management for surface and surface intermodal traffic management services (DTR vol. 1, pg. 101-113), proposes modifying the text of the existing rule, entitled ``Computation of Freight Charges'', in MFTRP No. 4A, Item 255 and MGTRP No. 50, Item 715. The purpose of this modification is to change the basis of freight charge computation for bulk petroleum tank truck shipments from gross volume to a different methodology (sometimes referred to as ``net'' volume) in order to better conform to standard industry practice as well as to procedures and automated systems used or being implemented by the Defense Energy Support Center.
