PL 2-48, the “Commonwealth Ports Authority Act,” codified as amended at 2 CMC §§ 2101-2190, took effect October 8, 1981. It was based on the “Mariana Islands Airport Authority Act” enacted by the Congress of Micronesia as PL 6-58. See the commission comment to 2 CMC § 2101. PL 2-48 created the Commonwealth Ports Authority to implement its provisions and operate the ports of the Commonwealth. See 2 CMC §§ 2121-22. Executive Order 94-3 (effective August 23, 1994), reprinted in the commission comment to 1 CMC § 2001, reorganized the Commonwealth government executive branch, changed agency names and official titles and effected numerous other revisions. Executive Order 94-3 § 304(a) allocated the Commonwealth Ports Authority to the Department of Public Works for purposes of administration and coordination. PL 11-109 (effective December 21, 1999) vacated section 304(a) in its entirety and reenacted and reinstated all provisions of 2 CMC, division 2, chapter 1, 2 CMC §§ 2101-2190, in effect immediately prior to the effective date of Executive Order 94-3. PL 11-109 §§ 2(b) and 4. The Commonwealth Ports Authority Act contains special provisions related to rules and regulations. See 2 CMC §§ 2141-2146. Part 001 - General Provisions § 40-20.2-001 Definitions As used herein, the term “the port” means any and every commercial port or harbor in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and all those geographical areas in the territorial waters of the Commonwealth over which CPA exercises the various powers © 2019 by The Commonwealth Law Revision Commission (Nov. 28, 2019) Page 2 of 19

TITLE 40: COMMONWEALTH PORTS AUTHORITY conferred upon it by law; the term “CPA” means the Commonwealth Ports Authority, established by PL 2-48 [2 CMC §§ 2101-2190]; and the term “Executive Director” means the Executive Director of the Commonwealth Ports Authority or his designee. Modified, 1 CMC § 3806(f). History: Amdts Adopted 14 Com. Reg. 9522 (July 15, 1992); Amdts Proposed 14 Com. Reg. 9230 (May 26, 1992); Adopted 5 Com. Reg. 2479 (Oct. 20, 1983); Proposed 5 Com. Reg. 1971 (Apr. 29, 1983). Commission Comment: The 1992 Terminal Tariff Rules and Regulations readopted and republished all of the then existing Terminal Tariff Rules and Regulations. The Commission, therefore, cites the 1992 regulations in the history sections throughout this subchapter. The notice of adoption for the 1983 Terminal Tariff Rules and Regulations changed the proposed language of this section. See 5 Com. Reg. at 2482 (Oct. 20, 1983). Sections 40-20.2-001 and 40-20.2-005 were originally sections (A) and (B) of former part I, entitled “General Rules and Regulations.” See 5 Com. Reg. at 1974 (Apr. 29, 1983); 14 Com. Reg. at 9234 (May 26, 1992). The Commission created part 001 and separated these sections from the rest of former part I (now part 100) of this subchapter. § 40-20.2-005 Applicability The tariff set forth in this subchapter, and the rates, charges, rules and regulations herein, apply to all traffic at the port, without specific notice, quotation to (except as hereinafter may be specified), or arrangements with shippers or carriers.

Reg. 1971 (Apr. 29, 1983). § 40-20.2-010 Terms and Definitions (a) “Bunkering.” The loading of fuel into a vessel’s bunker for its own use.

(b) “Cargo.” Goods, wares, materials, merchandise or any other object of commerce brought into the port docks by transportation. (c) “Containers.” (1) Shall mean rigid, re-usable, dry cargo, insulated, refrigerated, flat rack, liquid tank or open top cargo containers capable of being readily mounted onto or dismounted from wheels, chassis or flat bed trailer.

When the basis of the freight charge is not shown on the manifest, port charges shall be assessed on the basis of weight or measurement, whichever will yield the greater revenue. (h) “Vessels” shall mean steamboats, motorboats, sailing vessels, motor vessels, barges, liners, pleasure crafts or any structure(s) made to float on the water for navigation. (i) “Wharfage.” A charge assessed against all cargo passing or conveyed over, onto or under any dock or wharf when such cargo is to be discharged or loaded on a vessel berthed at a piling, wharf, bulkhead, pier or when moored in any slip, channel, basin, or canal or made fast to another vessel which is made fast to a wharf or dock or moored in any slip, channel, basin, or canal. Unless otherwise provided, wharfage shall be considered earned and will be assessed whether or not cargo received on the dock or dock premises is eventually loaded on any vessel. Payment of wharfage shall be guaranteed by the vessel, her owners, charterers, and agents, and use of such wharf or dock shall be deemed an acceptance and acknowledgment of this guarantee.

Reg. at 9235-36 (May 26, 1992). The Commission created part 001 and moved former part II to § 40-20.2-010. The Commission inserted quotation marks around terms defined. The Commission inserted a comma after the word “basin” in subsection (i) pursuant to 1 CMC § 3806(g). © 2019 by The Commonwealth Law Revision Commission (Nov. 28, 2019) Page 4 of 19

TITLE 40: COMMONWEALTH PORTS AUTHORITY The original paragraphs of subsection (c) were not designated. The Commission designated subsections (c)(1) and (c)(2). In subsection (c), the Commission changed “35 fee” to “35 feet” to correct a manifest error. The April 2006 amendments added subparts (1)-(6) to subsection (g) and amended subsection (i). In subsection (f), the Commission created one sentence by removing the period after ton and changing the capital “S” in “shall”. In subsection (h), the Commission created one sentence by removing the period after vessels and changing the capital “S” in “shall” and made “craft” plural. In subsection (g), the Commission deleted the quotation marks surrounding the entire subsection and added apostrophes to “vessels” and “carriers” to correct manifest errors. In subsection (i), the Commission deleted the quotation marks surrounding the entire subsection.
