Thank you, Chair.
The bill is based upon the shipment being deemed exported on the date of shipment, and what we're trying to provide to the exporters is certainty as to when they can count their shipments in quota situations and paying the export charge. This amendment would create greater certainty for the exporter so that when it was released to the railway company, the transport agency, it would provide for greater certainty so the exporter would know at that time what his export charge would be or how his shipment would count against his quota limit.
