Industry Advisory—Requirement to Maintain Accurate Information on FMC Form FMC-1

The Federal Maritime Commission reminds common carriers and marine terminal operators they must maintain an accurate Common Carrier Tariff and MTO Schedule Registration Form (FMC-1).

Any changes to information submitted through the FMC-1 must immediately be sent to the Commission.

Existing filers should review information previously submitted to the Commission to confirm it remains accurate.

Failing to maintain a current and accurate FMC-1 could result in fines and other penalties.

New and existing filers can find additional information on their obligations in a User’s Manual available online.

Information contained in the FMC-1 is used by the Commission in administering the law and in providing consumer assistance.
