NOTICES

Request of Mark L. Tewes, Tariff Publisher Representing Patrick A. Kissel, Jr. for a 2% Emergency Fuel Surcharge; SP-28202

[27 Pa.B. 2355]

Public Meeting held
April 10, 1997

Commissioners Present: John M. Quain, Chairperson; Lisa Crutchfield, Vice Chairperson; John Hanger; David W. Rolka; Robert K. Bloom

Order

By the Commission:

   Mark L. Tewes, (Tewes) Tariff Publisher representing Patrick A. Kissel, Jr. (carrier) is petitioning this Commission to implement a 2% fuel surcharge as a direct result of escalating fuel costs currently being experienced.

   Tewes has compiled data from the represented carrier indicating fuel prices have risen sharply in recent months and carriers requests relief to offset increased operating costs for a period of 30 days with 5 extensions upon conditions warranting it.

   The Commission approved a 2% emergency fuel surcharge for Tristate Household Goods Tariff Conference, Inc. representing approximately 275 tristate household goods carriers on June 6, 1996, extended said order an additional 3 months on September 19, 1996, and further extended said order for 6 additional months on March 13, 1997. It would appear prudent for the Commission to include other financial strapped carriers until fuel prices become stabilized. Therefore It Is Ordered That:

   1.  Patrick A. Kissel, Jr., at A-00099886 may establish a 2% fuel surcharge on one day's notice under Special Permission No. 28202 and shall be published in accordance with all other tariff rules of this Commission.

   2.  Upon determination by the Commission that the price of fuel has stabilized thereby allowing carrier to seek rate relief through normal filing procedures, the Commission will issue an order to eliminate the 2% fuel surcharge.

   3.  The surcharge be effective for a 30-day period with carriers being permitted to file for 5 additional 30-day extension periods if conditions warrant.

   4.  Upon approval by this Commission the Secretary shall duly certify this order and deposit same with the Legislative Reference Bureau for publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

JOHN G. ALFORD,   
Secretary
