Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 22 / Thursday, February 2, 2006 / Notices
contends that Respondent has
demanded wharfage charges from
Cheniere LNG, Inc. (‘‘Cheniere’’) which
do not bear a reasonable relationship to
the services and facilities provided to
those against whom the charges are
assessed. Complainant further contends
that these charges violate Section
10(d)(1) of the Shipping Act of 1984
(‘‘The Act’’) in that the Respondent
failed to establish, observe, and enforce
just and reasonable practices relating to
the receiving, handing, storing, or
delivering of property and is imposing
undue or unreasonable prejudice or
disadvantage with respect to
Complainant. In addition, Complainant
contends that Respondent violated
Section 5(a) of the Act by not filing an
agreement between Cheniere and
Respondent with the FMC. Respondent
prays for reparations in the amount of
actual injury suffered by Complainant
plus costs and reasonable attorney fees,
an order directing Respondent to pay
these reparations, an order directing
Respondent to ‘‘cease and desist’’ from
violating 10(d)(1) of the Act by
collecting wharfage and other fees not
related to any services provided, an
order directing Respondent to file with
the FMC all agreements, and any such
other relief as the Commission deems
just and proper.
This proceeding has been assigned to
the Office of Administrative Law Judges.
Hearing in this matter, if any is held,
shall commence within the time
limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61,
and only after consideration has been
given by the parties and the presiding
officer to the use of alternative forms of
dispute resolution. The hearing shall
include oral testimony and crossexamination in the discretion of the
presiding officer only upon proper
showing that there are genuine issues of
material fact that cannot be resolved on
the basis of sworn statements, affidavits,
depositions, or other documents or that
the nature of the matter in issue is such
that an oral hearing and crossexamination are necessary for the
development of an adequate record.
Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR
502.61, the initial decision of the
presiding officer in this proceeding shall
be issued by January 29, 2007, and the
final decision of the Commission shall
be issued by May 29, 2007.
