APPENDIX D
(OMB No. 2133-0013 and 2133-0514 apply to this collection of
information.)
Once a shipper requests a Conditional Waiver of the U.S.-flag requirement of PR-17, we
will calculate a guideline rate or rates as part of the waiver process. The guideline rate
will be for the proposed movement of a specific cargo or cargoes on a specific voyage or
voyages on U.S.-flag non-liner vessels. For the purpose of this PR-17 policy, the
guideline rates will be calculated using the basic framework contained in the Maritime
Administration regulations at 46 CFR part 382.3, except as follows:
- We will calculate the guideline rate based on a vessel or group of vessels we determine
is most suited to the cargo and destination.
- Costs will be indexed to the year of cargo carriage.
- The calculation will assume, unless we determine otherwise, that the cargo occupies
seventy percent of the cubic capacity of the selected vessel(s).
- The rate will be specified in U.S. dollars per revenue ton.
