# 46 U.S.C. § 40702 - Rate standards
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Definition.— In this section, the term “constructive costs” means the costs of another carrier, other than a controlled carrier, operating similar vessels and equipment in the same or a similar trade.
|
||
|
||
(b) Standards.— In determining whether a rate, charge, classification, rule, or regulation of a controlled carrier is just and reasonable, the Federal Maritime Commission—
|
||
|
||
(1) shall take into account whether the rate or charge that has been published or assessed, or that would result from the pertinent classification, rule, or regulation, is below a level that is fully compensatory to the controlled carrier based on the carrier’s actual costs or constructive costs; and
|
||
|
||
(2) may take into account other appropriate factors, including whether the rate, charge, classification, rule, or regulation is—
|
||
|
||
(A) the same as, or similar to, those published or assessed by other carriers in the same trade;
|
||
|
||
(B) required to ensure movement of particular cargo in the same trade; or
|
||
|
||
(C) required to maintain acceptable continuity, level, or quality of common carrier service to or from affected ports.
