Under review are two orders of the Federal Maritime Commission which, in effect, permit United States flag carriers to charge one rate for overseas carriage of household goods shipped by the Military Sealift Command (MSC) while requiring members of the Household Goods Forwarders Association (HGFA), the petitioner, to pay another—usually higher—rate for like transportation of such cargo.1
