Summary of Comments and Discussion Sample Clauses

Summary of Comments and Discussion. Comments directly addressing the Information Form and Monitoring Report regulations of the proposed rule were submitted by XXXX and APL. As noted above, OCCA represents most of the conference and rate discussion agreements and their members in the U.S. trades. As a member of OCCA, APL endorses OCCA’s comments on the proposed rule. APL at 1. However, APL also submitted separate comments as a supplement to OCCA’s comments to elaborate on particular aspects of the proposed rule. Id. Summaries of the issues raised by the commenters as they pertain to the Information Form and Monitoring Report regulations proposed in the NPR are provided below with the Commission’s discussion on each issue. OCCA expressed its view that since OSRA became effective, the current Information Form and Monitoring Report regulations for carrier agreements are unduly burdensome and unnecessary given: (1) The extensive use of individual service contracts in the shipment of cargo, (2) the confidentiality of service contract terms, and (3) the reduction in the number of conference agreements in the U.S. trades. OCCA at 16–17. Overall, OCCA recognizes the Commission’s efforts to reduce the current reporting burden on carriers and supports most of the proposed changes pertaining to the Information Form and Monitoring Report regulations. Id. at 17. Nonetheless, OCCA raises the following issues and recommendations that would in its view further improve the rule. Id.

Summary of Comments and Discussion. The carriers were the only interested parties to submit comments on the proposed changes in the regulations. The carriers support the proposal in § 535.302(a) on non-substantive modifications to effective agreements to add agreement modifications in the number or size of vessels within the range specified in the agreement, with the understanding that such amendments to agreements are not required. Carriers at 27. This is the understanding of the Commission because such changes in the number or size of vessels [within the range stated in the agreement] are activities that may be conducted without further filing under the regulation in § 535.408(b)(5)(ii). The carriers support the proposal in § 535.404(b) to require that agreement parties identify the countries included in a port range or area of the geographic scope of the agreement, provided that the parties need not call directly at each specified country and may change direct calls without filing an amendment to the agreement. The carriers cite an example for the East Coast of South America that includes Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Under this scope, the agreement parties may not directly call in Uruguay but serve the country via feeder from the other ports of call, or may change their services to begin directly calling in Uruguay and serve the other countries via feeder. Carriers at 27.

  • Results and Discussion Table 1 (top) shows the root mean square error (RMSE) between the three tests for different numbers of topics. These results show that all three tests largely agree with each other but as the sample size (number of topics) decreases, the agreement decreases. In line with the results found for 50 topics, the randomization and bootstrap tests agree more with the t-test than with each other. We looked at pairwise scatterplots of the three tests at the different topic sizes. While there is some disagreement among the tests at large p-values, i.e. those greater than 0.5, none of the tests would predict such a run pair to have a significant difference. More interesting to us is the behavior of the tests for run pairs with lower p-values. ≥ Table 1 (bottom) shows the RMSE among the three tests for run pairs that all three tests agreed had a p-value greater than 0.0001 and less than 0.5. In contrast to all pairs with p-values 0.0001 (Table 1 top), these run pairs are of more importance to the IR researcher since they are the runs that require a statistical test to judge the significance of the per- formance difference. For these run pairs, the randomization and t tests are much more in agreement with each other than the bootstrap is with either of the other two tests. Looking at scatterplots, we found that the bootstrap tracks the t-test very well but shows a systematic bias to produce p-values smaller than the t-test. As the number of topics de- creases, this bias becomes more pronounced. Figure 1 shows a pairwise scatterplot of the three tests when the number of topics is 10. The randomization test also tends to produce smaller p-values than the t-test for run pairs where the t- test estimated a p-value smaller than 0.1, but at the same time, produces some p-values greater than the t-test’s. As Figure 1 shows, the bootstrap consistently gives smaller p- values than the t-test for these smaller p-values. While the bootstrap and the randomization test disagree with each other more than with the t-test, Figure 1 shows that for a low number of topics, the randomization test shows less noise in its agreement with the bootstrap com- Figure 1: A pairwise comparison of the p-values less than 0.25 produced by the randomization, t-test, and the bootstrap tests for pairs of TREC runs with only 10 topics.
