SMO Current Projects NTS Handbook NTS Rates NTS Saturation Rates Currently under SJA review Provides detailed information to NTS TSPs. NTS Rates SJA has determined posting NTS rates visible to all TSPs is not an acceptable practice. SMO is creating a new NTS TSP rate listing which would delete TSP rates but still provide TSPs with their TDL ranking amongst other TSPs. NTS Saturation Rates Saturation rates offered by NTS TSPs with capacity outside of the effected area will be evaluated based on Items 3 & 7 (drayage in & out). Consideration based on capacity and distance. When saturation rates are approved, the Special Rate Modification will be in effect until September 30, of that peak season.
