[Docket No. 17–05]
CMI Distribution Inc. v. Service by Air,
Inc., Radiant Customs Services Inc.
(Formerly Known as SBA
Consolidators, Inc.) and Las Freight
Systems Ltd.; Notice of Filing of
Complaint and Assignment
Notice is given that a complaint has
been filed with the Federal Maritime
Commission (Commission) by CMI
Distribution Inc., hereinafter
‘‘Complainant,’’ against Service by Air,
Inc., Radiant Customs Services Inc.,
(formerly known as SBA Consolidators,
Inc.), and Las Freight Systems Ltd.,
hereinafter ‘‘Respondents.’’
Complainant states it is a ‘‘corporation
organized and existing under the laws of
Illinois.’’ Complainant alleges that:
Respondent Service by Air, Inc. is a
‘‘corporation organized and existing
under the laws of New York’’ and was
‘‘an OTI . . . subject to regulation by the
FMC’’; Respondent Radiant Customs
Services Inc. is a ‘‘corporation organized
and existing under the laws of New
York’’ and a Commission licensed nonvessel-operating common carrier
(NVOCC); and Respondent Las Freight
Systems Ltd. ‘‘is a Taiwanese private
limited company’’ and a Commission
registered NVOCC.
Complainant states that they ‘‘engaged
Respondents to provide transportation
of more than 60 shipments (the
Shipments)’’ from China to Illinois
between April 2014 and June 2015.
Complainant alleges that they ‘‘assessed
more than $400,000 in demurrage or
storage fees associated with the
Shipments,’’ but the Respondents ‘‘have
been unwilling to provide details
regarding the amounts of demurrage or
storage fees charged’’ regarding those
shipments. Complainant states that
while it ‘‘repeatedly questioned and
challenged the level of demurrage
charges on the Shipments, it was forced
to pay those charges in order to gain
release of the shipments.’’ Complainant
alleges that the Respondents violated
the Shipping Act by acting as an OTI
without a license in the case of
Respondent Service by Air in violation
of 46 U.S.C. 40901, failure to observe
just and reasonable practices in
violation of 46 U.S.C. 41102 (c), failure
to provide service in accordance with
PO 00000

rates, charges, and rules contained in a
published tariff in violation of 46 U.S.C.
41102(2)(c), and failure to maintain a
tariff in violation of 46 U.S.C. 40501.
Complainant seeks reparations and
other relief. The full text of the
complaint can be found in the
Commission’s Electronic Reading Room
at www.fmc.gov/17-05/.
This proceeding has been assigned to
the Office of Administrative Law Judges.
The initial decision of the presiding
officer in this proceeding shall be issued
by May 31, 2018, and the final decision
of the Commission shall be issued by
December 14, 2018.

agencies must obtain approval from
OMB for each collection of information
they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of
information’’ means agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. 44 U.S.C.
3502(3); 5 CFR 1320.3(c). As required by
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the
FTC is providing this opportunity for
public comment before requesting that
OMB extend the existing clearance for
the information collection requirements
contained in the Franchise Rule, 16 CFR
part 436 (OMB Control No. 3084–0107).
The FTC invites comments on: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
The Franchise Rule ensures that
consumers who are considering a
franchise investment have access to the
material information they need to make
an informed investment decision
provided in a format that facilitates
comparisons of different franchise
offerings. The Rule requires that
franchisors disclose this information to
consumers and maintain records to
facilitate enforcement of the Rule.
Amendments to the Rule promulgated
on March 30, 2007, which took effect
after a one-year phase-in on July 1,
2008, merged the Rule’s disclosure
requirements with the disclosure format
accepted by 15 states that have franchise
registration or disclosure laws.1 The
amended Rule has significantly
minimized any compliance burden
beyond what is already required by state
law.
The amended Rule requires
franchisors to furnish prospective
purchasers with a Franchise Disclosure
Document (‘‘FDD’’) that provides
information relating to the franchisor,
its business, the nature of the proposed
franchise, and any representations by
the franchisor about financial
performance regarding actual or
1 72
PO 00000
FR 15544 et seq.
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703

potential sales, income, or profits made
to a prospective franchise purchaser.
The franchisor must preserve materially
different copies of its FDD for 3 years,
as well as information that provides a
reasonable basis for any financial
performance representation it elects to
make. These requirements are subject to
the PRA and underlie the Commission’s
pursuit of renewed OMB clearance.
Estimated annual hours burden:
16,750 hours.
Based on a review of trade
publications and information from state
regulatory authorities, staff believes
that, on average, from year to year, there
are approximately 2,500 sellers of
franchises covered by the Rule, with
perhaps about 10% of that total
reflecting an equal amount of new and
departing business entrants.2
Commission staff’s burden hour
estimate reflects the incremental tasks
that the Rule may impose beyond the
information and recordkeeping
requirements imposed by state law and/
or followed by franchisors who have
been using the FDD disclosure format
nationwide. This estimate likely
overstates the actual incremental burden
because some franchisors, for various
reasons, may not be covered by the Rule
(e.g., they sell only franchises that
qualify for the Rule’s large franchise
investment exemption of at least $1
million).
Staff estimates that the average annual
disclosure burden to update existing
disclosure documents will be three
hours each for the 2,250 established
franchisors, or 6,750 hours cumulatively
for them, and 30 hours apiece each year
for the 250 or so new-entrant franchisors
to prepare their initial disclosure
documents, or 7,500 hours,
cumulatively, for the latter group. These
estimates parallel staff’s 2014 estimates
for the amended Rule.3 No public
comments were received on those prior
estimates. Accordingly, the FTC retains
them for this analysis subject to further
opportunity for public comment.
Under the Rule, a franchisor is
required to retain copies of receipts of
disclosure documents, as well as
materially different versions of its
disclosure documents. Such
recordkeeping requirements, however,
are consistent with, or less burdensome
than, those imposed by the states that
have franchise registration and
disclosure laws. Accordingly, staff
2 This number, which was also used in the FTC’s
2014 clearance request, appears to be consistent
with the number of business format franchise
offerings registered in compliance with state
franchise laws, and listed in franchise directories.
