Common Carrier and Marine Terminal
Operator Agreements Subject to the
Shipping Act of 1984.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–0045
(Expires March 31, 2007).
Abstract: Section 4 of the Shipping
Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40301, identifies

Commission can monitor agreement
parties’ activities to determine how or if
their activities will have an impact on
competition.
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
staff uses the information filed by
agreement parties to monitor their
activities as required by the Shipping
Act of 1984. Under the general standard
set forth in section 6(g) of the Act, 46
U.S.C. 41307, the Commission must
determine whether filed agreements will
have substantially anticompetitive
effects on prevailing trade conditions
and, if so, whether the agreements will
likely, by a reduction in competition,
result in an unreasonable reduction in
competition, result in an unreasonable
reduction in transportation service or an
unreasonable increase in transportation
cost. If it is shown, based on
information collected under this rule,
that an agreement is likely to have the
foregoing adverse effects, the
Commission may bring suit in U.S.
District Court to enjoin the operation of
that agreement. The information
collected is not disclosed to the public
and is only for internal analysis in
support of the Commission’s decisionmaking process.
Frequency: This information is
collected generally on a quarterly basis
or as required under the rules.
Type of Respondents: The types of
respondents are ocean common carriers
and marine terminal operators subject to
the Shipping Act of 1984.
Number of Annual Respondents: The
Commission estimates a potential
annual respondent universe of 574
entities.
Estimated Time Per Response: The
average time for filing agreements,
including the preparation and
submission of information required on
Form FMC–150, Information Form for
Agreements Between or Among Ocean
Common Carriers, is estimated to be 37
person-hours per response. The average
time for completing Form FMC–151,
Monitoring Report for Agreements
Between or Among Ocean Common
Carriers, is estimated to range between
40 to 250 person-hours per response,
depending on the complexity of the
required information. The total average
time for reporting and recordkeeping for
all responses is 18.75 person-hours.
