This law makes carriers file their contracts with the FCC. Every carrier covered by this chapter must file copies of any contracts or agreements with other carriers that affect covered traffic. The Commission can also demand other contracts be filed, or excuse carriers from filing minor ones.

(a) Every carrier covered by this chapter must file with the Commission copies of all contracts, agreements, or arrangements it has with other carriers — including common carriers not otherwise subject to this chapter — if those deals relate to traffic covered by this chapter. (b) The Commission can require a carrier to file any other contract too. The Commission can also exempt a carrier from having to file copies of contracts the Commission decides are minor.
