摘要总结AI 辅助解读

本条款为美国联邦法规第46篇（海运）中关于《航运法》协议修改的豁免规定。它明确了两类无需经过法定等待期即可生效的协议修改：一是“非实质性修改”（如更正拼写、变更地名或人员头衔等）；二是“其他杂项修改”（如取消协议部分、删除缔约方、变更客运班轮会议成员等）。此类修改仅需向联邦海事委员会（FMC）提交副本，并按规定缴纳费用。该条款旨在简化行政程序，提高合规效率，属于程序性事务规范。

(a) Non-substantive modifications to effective agreements. A non-substantive modification to an effective agreement between ocean common carriers and/or marine terminal operators, acting individually or through approved agreements, is one which:

- (1) Reflects changes in the name of any geographic locality stated therein, the name of the agreement or the name of a party to the agreement, the names and/or numbers of any other section 4 agreement (46 U.S.C. 40301(a)-(c)) or designated provisions thereof referred to in an agreement;

- (2) Corrects typographical and grammatical errors in the text of the agreement or renumbers or reletters articles or sub-articles of agreements and references thereto in the text; or

- (3) Reflects changes in the titles of persons or committees designated therein or transfers the functions of such persons or committees to other designated persons or committees or which merely establishes a committee.

(b) Other Miscellaneous Modifications to effective agreements. A miscellaneous modification to an effective agreement is one that:

- (1) Cancels the agreement or a portion thereof;

- (2) Deletes an agreement party;

- (3) Changes the parties to a conference agreement or a discussion agreement among passenger vessel operating common carriers that is open to all ocean common carriers operating passenger vessels of a class defined in the agreements and that does not contain ratemaking, pooling, joint service, sailing or space chartering authority; or

- (4) Changes the officials of the agreement and delegations of authority.

(c) A copy of a modification described in (a) or (b) of this section shall be submitted to the Commission but is otherwise exempt from the waiting period requirement of the Act and this part.
(d) Parties to agreements may seek a determination from the Director of the Bureau of Trade Analysis as to whether a particular modification is a non-substantive or other miscellaneous modification within the meaning of this section.
(e) The filing fee for non-substantive or other miscellaneous modifications is provided in § 535.401(g).
