该条款明确了在美国联邦法规第46编（海运）下，哪些基于有效协议授权产生的活动无需向FMC（联邦海事委员会）进行额外备案。核心在于界定“技术性”与“操作性”事项的豁免边界：包括运价规则制定、舱位分配与出售、码头装卸服务、行政事务（如会议安排、数据交换、办公设施共享）、以及特定范围内的运营调整（如港口轮换、在协议规定容量范围内的船舶替换）。只要这些事项符合§535.402的要求或属于本条(b)款列举范围，即视为有效协议的组成部分，免于单独申报。建议核实现有合作协议是否涵盖上述细节，以避免不必要的合规成本。

- (2) Are listed in paragraph (b) of this section.
