Title: 46 CFR part 532—NVOCC
Negotiated Rate Arrangements.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–0071
(Expires July 31, 2016).
Abstract: Section 16 of the Shipping
Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40103, authorizes
the Commission to exempt by order or
regulation ‘‘any class of agreements
between persons subject to this [Act] or
any specified activity of those persons
from any requirement of this [Act] if the
Commission finds that the exemption
will not result in substantial reduction
in competition or be detrimental to
commerce.’’ The Commission may
attach conditions to any exemption and
may, by order, revoke an exemption. In
46 CFR part 532, the Commission
exempted non-vessel-operating common
carriers (NVOCCs) from the tariff rate
publication requirements of Part 520,
and allowed an NVOCC to enter into an
NVOCC Negotiated Rate Arrangement
(NRA) in lieu of publishing its tariff
rate(s), provided the NVOCC posts a
prominent notice in its rules tariff
invoking the NRA exemption and
provides electronic access to its rules
tariff to the public free of charge. This
information collection corresponds to
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the rules tariff prominent notice and the
requirement to make its tariff publicly
available free of charge.
Current Actions: There are no changes
to this information collection, and it is
being submitted for extension purposes
only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
uses the information filed by an NVOCC
in its rules tariff to determine whether
the NVOCC has invoked the exemption
for a particular shipment or shipments.
The Commission has used and will
continue to use the information required
to be maintained by NVOCCs for
monitoring and investigatory purposes,
and, in its proceedings, to adjudicate
related issues raised by private parties.
Frequency: An NVOCC invokes the
NRA exemption by publishing a
prominent notice in its rules tariff once.
Type of Respondents: NVOCCs.
Number of Annual Respondents: 255.
While there has been a substantial
decrease in the number of annual
responses, in 2013 the NRA exemption
was extended to include foreign
unlicensed NVOCCs, which resulted in
a ‘‘one-time’’ increase in the number of
annual respondents to 626. The
Commission expects the number of
annual respondents to remain at 255 in
the future, as new NVOCCs enter the
market and some invoke the exemption.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes for those adding a tariff rule to
use a combination of tariff rates and
NRAs. One hour for those who make
their tariff rules publicly available by
opting to use NRAs exclusively and
posting them to their Web site.
Total Annual Burden: Based on the
number of NVOCCs who have filed a
rule or prominent notice in their
respective tariffs, we calculate that 25%
of new NVOCCs will use the NRA
exemption. Of those, about 3% will use
NRAs exclusively. Almost all will likely
use similar language invoking the
exemption in their tariffs. For the 255
annual respondents, the total burden is
calculated as follows:
8 × 1 hour = 8 hours (3% using NRAs
exclusively)
247 × .25 hour = 61.75 hours rounded
to 62 (combination of tariff rates
and NRAs)
Total annual burden is estimated to be
70 hours.
Rachel E. Dickon,
Assistant Secretary.
