January 11, 2012 - 77 FR 1658 - RIN: 3072-AC46 - Download Full Notice: Text | PDF

The Federal Maritime Commission proposes to amend its rules regarding the amount of bond coverage required in its optional China Bond Rider for Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs). The proposed rule is intended to provide NVOCCs with the ability to post a bond with the Commission that satisfies the equivalent of 800,000 Chinese Renminbi, for which the equivalent dollar amount has fluctuated since the regulation was first adopted by the Commission.

This is a proposed regulation. Comments were due on March 12, 2012.
