A bill to amend the Intercoastal Shipping Act, 1933 by revising its suspension provisions and by authorizing periodic promulgation of rate of return guidelines.

Summary

Provides, under the Intercoastal Shipping Act, that commencing in 1976 a carrier may file a general increase in rates without suspension of that portion of such changed rates bringing about an increase of seven percent or less in its gross annual revenues. Requires the United States Maritime Commission to promulgate numerical guidelines as to common carrier rate of return on rate base and common equity which the Commission deems to be prima facie reasonable, as a means of assisting in insuring that the noncontiguous States, territories and possessions of the U.S. have efficient ocean transportation to and from the mainland.
