The House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee led by Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-4th/OR) released the INVEST Act on Friday, which is the surface transportation re-authorization bill. There are several provisions included in the legislation that TIA staff are keeping a close eye on that could potentially impact our members. TIA has scored a major victory by having language included in the base text that requires the Department of Transportation to issue guidance to clarify the definition and roles of brokers and bona fide agents.
The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) is now accepting applications for its newly created National Shipper Advisory Committee. This new advisory group opens for applications just days after TIA’s Airfreight and International Conference Committee met with Commissioner Carl Bentzel, who spoke about his role in the Federal Government, what issues are facing the supply chain and answered questions directly from TIA members.
