STATUS OF EXPORT-IMPORT RATES On GeneralCargo Through Houston, Freeport AndOther West Gulf Ports: As a result ofrailroad tariff publications which becameeffective December 24 and December 30,1972 and January l, 1973, very fewshipside rates remain in effect on export-import traffic through the Ports ofHouston, Freeport and other Gulf ports.The only remaining shipside rates throughthe Gulf ports are published in certainitems of Trans-Continental Freight BureauTariff 6-E. These Tariff 6 items coverexport shipments of ore and smelterproducts from the far west states. Thereare no shipside import rates in effect.On export-import traffic, except thattraffic moving under certain rates inTCFB Tariff 6, total costs will bedetermined by adding the terminal chargeat the port through which the shipmentmoves to the applicable line-haul rate.

0IL FIELD HAULERS WITHDRAW Increased PortArbitrary Charge: The 0il Field HaulersAssociation has withdrawn the tariffsupplements containing the increased portarbitrary charge on import or coastwiseshipments of iron and steel articles.The Bureau was successful in securingsuspension of the increase. In itspetition the Bureau pointed out thatimposition of a 10~ charge at Houston anda 74 charge at Galveston would be aviolation of the Commission’s decisionin an earlier case involving the samecarriers. The withdrawal of thesuspended matter will become effectiveFebruary 2, 1973.

BUREAU OPPOSES BARGELINE PROPOSAL To AssessAdditional $5 Charge To Shippers: TheBureau has filed objection to a WaterwaysFreight Bureau proposal to pass toshippers a $5 charge for use of shipsideoffice facilities. In its objections,the Bureau pointed out that the $5 chargewas properly assessed to the bargelinesand that the charge was included in therate. The Bureau noted that an earlierWFB publication, involving the sameprinciple had been found unjust andunreasonable by the ICC.

BUREAU SUBMITS STATEMENT IN TOFCINVESTIGATION: The Bureau, in behalf of

FEBRUARY, 1973

the Port of Freeport, submitted astatement in the ICC investigation intoTOFC rates between Galveston and points inIllinois, Kansas and Missouri. A Bureaupetition in behalf of the Port ofFreeport, resulted in the ICC setting thematter for investigation. At issue in thisinvestigation is the application ofpoint-to-point TOFC rates betweenGalveston and certain Midwest points,with no comparable rates between Freeportand those same Midwest points.

BUREAU PRESENTS POSITION ON MOTOR CARRIERS’Proposed Texas Ports Container Tariff: ABureau representative, appearing beforethe Middlewest Motor Freight Bureau inDallas, Texas on January 9, supportedin principle the proposed Texas PortsContainer Tariff. The proposed tariffwould apply on containerized shipmentsbetween Texas ports and points in Texas.Generally consisting of a mileage scaleof rates on Freight, All Kinds shipments,the proposed tariff also contains specificpoint-to-point commodity rates transferredfrom other tariffs.

FURTHER HEARING SCHEDULED in Export-Import Rate Investigation: The ICC hasset February 5, 1973 as the date forcross-examination of witnesses whosubmitted rebuttal material in the ICCinvestigation into the export-importrate structure, Great Lakes ports ascompares to other port ranges. The Bureauis actively participating in theproceedings, in support of the railroads.The proceeding is designated Ex ParteNo. 270 (Sub-No. 1B).

Pruett Is NamedOffshore PortCommissioner

Houston Port Commissioner II. H.Pruett was among those named to anewly-created nine-man Texas OffshoreTerminal Commission early last monthby outgoing Governor Preston Smith.Tile Commission’s major objective willbe developing a plan and site for build-ing a Texas offshore port terminal toaccommodate the supertankers nowentering service.

Joseph L. Allbritton of Houston wasnamed chairman for a six year termand Pruett’s term will be for two years.Three members will serve for six years,three for four years and three for twoyears.

Allbritton cited the "growing nationalenergy crisis" among other {actors"which dictate an expeditious and soundsolution to the construction of offshoreterminal facilities," but promised thatthe Commission would "insure that theemiromnent will not be damaged."

The (~ommission was created by anact of the Texas Legislature in Octoberof last year and given a half milliondollar appropriation to plan a deep-draftterminal hv either the state, private in-terests or a combination of public andprivate interests. The U.S. Corps ofEngineers, after extensive hearings lastSpring, has stated it will announce itschoice of a site by June of this year.At present eompeti~tion is high betweenTexas and Louisiana to have such aport located off their respective coasts.
