Change 2 Posted – No, Not That Change 2

Note: This article is part of a series on changes to the 2012 400NG and International Tender. (To view the entire series of articles, click here.) Please note that these articles are not intended to cover every change made, so TSPs still need to read the tariffs prior to filing rates. Also, these posts are based on our own interpretation of the tariffs, and we cannot guarantee that our interpretation will always be shared by SDDC, the PPSOs, or GSA.

Earlier today SDDC posted Change 2 to the 400NG. However, it is not Change 2 to the 2012 400NG, it is Change 2 to the 2011 400NG. The 2011 version of Change 2 contains some items that are taking effect immediately, thus the need for the update to the current tariff. The main items changed are volume moves and removal of the 70% transit time rule.

This posting may cause some confusion, since many are expecting the 2012 400NG Change 2 to be posted any time. The February 2012 SDDC Newsletter referenced Change 2 in its articles on 2012 tariff changes, but so far neither the 400NG or the International Tender have seen the update. Since the first round of rate filing has already begun, it is likely that SDDC is trying to get the 2011 version of Change 2 posted as quickly as possible.

Once we see an update to the 2012 400NG, and the International Tender, we will provide an update on the changes contained.
