摘要总结AI 辅助解读
本法规确立了美国无船承运人（NVOCC）的档案留存与审计义务。核心要求包括：所有签署的服务协议（NSA）、修正案及相关记录必须保存5年，自协议终止之日起算；电子记录需具备与纸质同等的可访问性。此外，当收到联邦海事委员会（FMC）指定官员的书面请求时，NVOCC必须在30天内提交相关协议副本或记录。此规定直接改变了NVOCC的内部合规流程与档案管理成本。
- (a) Records retention for five years. Every NVOCC shall maintain original signed NSAs, amendments, and their associated records in an organized, readily accessible or retrievable manner for a period of five (5) years from the termination of each NSA. These records must be kept in a form that is readily available and usable to the Commission; electronically maintained records shall be no less accessible than if they were maintained in paper form.
- (b) Production for audit within 30 days of request. Every NVOCC shall, upon written request of the FMC's Director, Bureau of Enforcement, any Area Representative or the Director, Bureau of Trade Analysis, submit copies of requested original NSAs or their associated records within thirty (30) days of the date of the request.
