carriers operating in the United States. The information is collected 
on an annual basis from U.S. agents that handle 40 or more port calls 
in the reporting period by foreign ocean vessels, and covered expenses 
for all foreign ocean vessels handled by the U.S. agent were $250,000 
or more. A report is not required if the total number of port calls by 
foreign ocean vessels handled by the U.S. agent in the reporting period 
is fewer than 40, or total annual covered expenses for all foreign 
ocean vessels handled by the U.S. agent are below $250,000.
    Affected Public: U.S. agents of foreign ocean carriers.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
