PROTESTS TO THE OFA
1.
Reporting Responsibilities. This enclosure provides instructions for amending, correcting, or
canceling the TDR after it is processed to the OFA. Reports are considered processed when
released by the reporting activity to the OFA. The TO/TM or their designated agent ensures
amended actions are promptly reported to the OFA.
2.
Amending, Correcting, or Canceling the TDR. The TDR may be amended, corrected, or
canceled by the reporting activity at any time before processing. Minor changes may be made
by the reporting activity or the OFA after processing but other offices included in the
distribution must also be notified of the change. For changes to or cancellation of the TDR, the
TO/TM will use a copy of the TDR. This copy will be annotated "Amended" or "Canceled," as
applicable, at the top and bottom. The reason for the change or cancellation will be shown in
Block 30. Then, the TDR will be signed and dated by the individual making the change or
cancellation. A copy of the amended or canceled TDR will be forwarded to the OFA and all
other interested parties within 10 workdays.
3.
Freight Loss and Damage Claims Reopened. Claims filed by the OFA may be reopened by the
carrier, reporting activity, shipper, OFA, or by direction of higher authority. The OFA must
review the protest or evidence which reopens the claim and decide whether to reinvestigate,
amend, sustain, or withdraw the claim. If necessary, the OFA may request the reporting
activity to reinvestigate the discrepancy. The claim file will not be forwarded with the request.
When the OFA sends a request to the TO/TM for further investigation, the TO/TM must
furnish the requested evidence to the OFA.
