response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Wood
furniture manufacturers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
750.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
semiannually and quarterly.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
47,190 hours.
Total Estimated Costs: $3,003,109,
which includes $0 annualized Capital
Startup Costs, $18,000 annualized
Operations & Management (O&M) Costs,
and $2,985,109 annualized Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours or cost in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This
is due to two considerations. First, the
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipated
to change over the next three years.
Secondly, the growth rate for the
industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden.
Dated: April 6, 2007.
Robert Gunter,
Acting Director, Collection Strategies
Division.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 07–03]
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. v.
Expeditors International of
Washington, Inc.; Notice of Complaint
and Assignment
Notice is given that a complaint and
First Request for Production of
Documents has been filed with the
Federal Maritime Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) by Armstrong World
Industries, Inc. (‘‘AWI’’). Complainant
asserts that it is a corporation under the
laws of the State of Pennsylvania whose
principal business is as a designer and
manufacturer of floors. Complainant
alleges that Respondent, Expeditors
International (‘‘Expeditors’’) is a
corporation under the laws of the State
of Washington and is licensed by the
Federal Maritime Commission as an
Ocean Transportation Intermediary,
Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier.
Complainant alleges that they used
the services of Respondent for their
ocean transportation requirements
around the world, including from the
Far East to Complainant’s facilities in
the U.S. through U.S. West Coast Ports.
Complainant asserts that during the
2005 peak shipping season Respondent
‘‘triple charged AWI for the passthrough peak season shipping charges
assessed under Respondent’s ocean
shipping contracts with its VesselOperating Common Carriers.’’
Complainant alleges that the additional
charges constitute violations of the
following Sections of the Shipping Act
of 1984 (‘‘The Act’’): Section 10(b)(4)(a)
(46 U.S.C. 1709(b)(4)(a)) (now 46 U.S.C.
41104) for unfair or unjustly
discriminatory practices in the matter of
rates and charges; Section 10(b)(8) (46
U.S.C. App. section 1709(b)(8)) (now 46
U.S.C. 41104) for the imposition of
undue and unreasonable prejudice and
disadvantage; and Section 10(d)(1) (46
U.S.C. App. section 1709(d)(1)) (now 46
U.S.C. 41102(c)), for failure to establish
just and reasonable regulations and

practices relating to or connecting with
receiving or handling of property.
Complainant requests the Commission
to: (a) Find Respondent to have violated
the above referenced sections of the Act;
(b) direct Respondent to pay
$216,765.00 and such other amounts
proven by evidence in this proceeding,
interest, and attorney’s fees; and (c)
impose any other relief as the
Commission determines to be proper,
fair, and just.
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 April 9, 2008, and the final
decision of the Commission shall be
issued by August 7, 2008.

Secretary.
