The National Motor Freight Traffic Association Inc. (NMFTA) met recently in Fort Lauderdale FL, its first meeting since implementation of the new organizational structure and procedures that went into effect Dec. 6, 2007. New procedures allow for the continued development and maintenance of the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) without the need for antitrust immunity while facilitating continued input from carriers, shippers, and third parties.
In attendance at both the open meeting of the Commodity Classification Standards Board (CCSB) and the Classification Resource Committee (CRC) was antitrust counsel Charles E. Buffon, a partner at the law firm of Covington and Burling, to ensure that meeting procedures and processes were in compliance with antitrust regulations and requirements.
Dispositions are published and available for viewing on NMFTA's website at www.nmfta.org.
The next meeting of the NMFTA/CCSB/CRC will take place June 1-3, 2008, at the Old Town Crowne Plaza Hotel in Alexandria VA.
