§10522. Exempt transportation between Alaska and other States

To the extent that transportation by a motor carrier between a place in Alaska and a place in another State under section 10521 of this title is provided in a foreign country-

(1) the Interstate Commerce Commission does not have jurisdiction to impose a requirement over conduct of the motor carrier in the foreign country conflicting with a requirement of that country; but

(2) the motor carrier, as a condition of providing transportation in the United States, shall comply, with respect to all transportation provided between Alaska and the other State, with the requirements of this subtitle related to rates and practices applicable to the transportation.

( Pub. L. 95–473, Oct. 17, 1978, 92 Stat. 1362 .)

In the introductory matter of the section, before clause (1), the words "under section 10521 of this title" are substituted for "in 'interstate commerce' " in view of the incorporation of the definition of "interstate commerce" in section 10521 of the revised title.

In clause (1), the words "the Interstate Commerce Commission does not have jurisdiction" are substituted for "the application of this chapter does not include" for clarity and to conform to the terms used in chapter 105 of the revised title.

In clause (2), the words "providing transportation" and "all transportation" are substituted for "operating" and "entire service", respectively, for consistency and because 49:303(a)(19) defines "transportation" and "services" as synonymous terms and includes all phases of a carrier's operations. The words "fares, and charges" are omitted as unnecessary in view of the definition of "rates".
