| 94-9301 | Tolls for Use of Canal and Rules for Measurement of Vessels | Uncategorized Document | The Panama Canal Commission proposes a major revision of the rules for measurement of vessels using the Panama Canal to become effective October 1, 1994. The existing rules of measurement will be replaced with a simplified, objective approach which brings the Commission's system in line with an international practice which will enter into full application worldwide on July 18, 1994. The proposed rules apply a mathematical formula to the vessel's total volume to produce the basis for assessing tolls. The tonnage values computed under the proposed system are comparable to those calculated under the Commission's existing rules and, in the aggregate, are equal to existing tonnages; accordingly, no changes are proposed to the rates of toll for use of the Canal; however, certain administrative changes to the regulations dealing with Canal tolls are necessary to ensure their consistency with the revised rules of measurement. This advance notice of proposed rulemaking announces the availability from the Commission of an analysis showing the basis of and justification for the proposed changes, solicits written data and comments from interested parties, and sets the time and place for a public hearing. | 1994-04-18 | 1994 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/04/18/94-9301/tolls-for-use-of-canal-and-rules-for-measurement-of-vessels | Panama Canal Commission | 400 | The Panama Canal Commission proposes a major revision of the rules for measurement of vessels using the Panama Canal to become effective October 1, 1994.
