Appendix A to Part 530 - Instructions for the Filing of Service
Contracts
Service contracts shall be filed in accordance with the
instructions found on the Commission's home page,
http://www.fmc.gov.
A. Registration, Log-on ID and Password
To register for filing, a carrier, conference, agreement or
publisher must submit the Service Contract Registration Form (Form
FMC-83) to BTA. A separate Service Contract Registration Form is
required for each individual that will file service contracts. BTA
will direct OIT to provide approved filers with a log-on ID and
password. Filers who wish a third party (publisher) to file their
service contracts must so indicate on Form FMC-83. Authority for
organizational filing can be transferred by submitting an amended
registration form requesting the assignment of a new log-on ID and
password. The original log-on ID will be canceled when a
replacement log-on ID is issued. Log-on IDs and passwords may not
be shared with, loaned to or used by any individual other than the
individual registrant. The Commission reserves the right to disable
any log-on ID that is shared with, loaned to or used by parties
other than the registrant.
B. Filing
After receiving a log-on ID and a password, a filer may log-on
to the service contract filing area on the Commission's home page
and file service contracts. The filing screen will request such
information as: filer name, Registered Persons Index (“RPI”) number
and carrier RPI number (if different); Service Contract and
amendment number; and effective date. The filer will attach the
entire service contract file and submit it into the system. When
the service contract has been submitted for filing, the system will
assign a filing date and an FMC control number, both of which will
be included in the acknowledgment/confirmation message.

initial (first time) registration or an amendment to an existing
Service Contract Registration.
Line 2. Registrant. This must be the full legal name of
the firm or individual registering for the FMC's Service Contract
Filing System and any trade names. The registrant name should match
the corporate charter or business license, conference membership,
etc. It should be noted that the registrant name cannot be changed
by the registrant after the registration without submission of an
amended registration fee.
Line 3. Address of Home Office. The complete street
address should be shown in addition to the post office box. Also,
provide the registrant's Federal Taxpayer Identification Number
(“TIN” Number).
Line 4. Billing Address if Different. This should be
completed if the billing address differs from the home office
address. Show the firm name (if different from the registrant),
street address and post office box (if applicable).
Line 5. Organization Number. Complete if known.
(Regulated Persons Index or “RPI” number.)
Line 6. Registrant Type. Indicate the type of
organization. A registrant cannot be more than one type. This data
cannot be changed by the registrant after registration without
submission of an amended registration form.
Line 7. Permissions Requested and Person Granted These
Permissions. Delegation of the authority to file should be
noted here.
Maintenance of Organization Record - The person listed in
line 8 is authorized to access the organization maintenance
functions (i.e., modify organization information, assign
publishers, affiliations, and d/b/as).
Service Contract Filing - The person listed in line 8 is
authorized only to submit filings.
Line 8. Certified for Batch Filing. Indicate whether the
registrant was registered with software certified to perform batch
filings prior to May 1, 1999. Otherwise, the registrant must first
be certified for batch filing as outlined in 46 CFR part 530. After
certification, the registrant can submit an amended registration
form to request permission for a person in their organization to
perform the batch filing. If the person already has an existing
log-on, the log-on (not the password) should be listed on the
registration form. Also, the certification date received from the
FMC should be listed on the registration form.
