Concerning the amendment, Commissioner William P. Doyle of the FMC issued a statement Friday. As a part of the procedure for expanding the TSA to include westbound trans-Pacific trade, the WTSA agreement had to be suspended. The amendment expanding the TSA was effective April 14,2013, according to Doyle.
