Title: 46 CFR 515—Licensing,
Financial Responsibility Requirements
and General Duties for Ocean
Transportation Intermediaries and
Related Forms.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–0018
(Expires July 31, 2007).
Abstract: Section 19 of the Shipping
Act of 1984 (the ‘‘Act’’), 46 U.S.C.
40901–40904 (2006), as modified by
Public Law 105–258 (The Ocean
Shipping Reform Act of 1998) and
Section 424 of Public Law 105–383 (The
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998),
provides that no person in the United
States may act as an ocean
transportation intermediary (OTI) unless
that person holds a license issued by the
Commission. The Commission shall
issue an OTI license to any person that
the Commission determines to be
qualified by experience and character to
act as an OTI. Further, no person may
act as an OTI unless that person
furnishes a bond, proof of insurance or
other surety in a form and amount
determined by the Commission to
ensure financial responsibility. The
Commission has implemented the
provisions of section 19 in regulations
contained in 46 CFR 515, including
financial responsibility forms FMC–48,
FMC–67, FMC–68, and FMC–69,
Optional Rider Forms FMC–48A and
FMC–69A, and its related license
application form, FMC–18.
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
uses information obtained under this
part and through Form FMC–18 to
determine the qualifications of OTIs and
their compliance with shipping statutes
and regulations and to enable the
Commission to discharge its duties
under the Act by ensuring that OTIs
maintain acceptable evidence of
financial responsibility. If the collection
of information were not conducted,
there would be no basis upon which the
Commission could determine if
applicants are qualified for licensing.
Frequency: This information is
collected when applicants apply for a
license or when existing licensees
change certain information in their
application forms.
Type of Respondents: The
respondents are persons desiring to
obtain a license to act as an OTI. Under
the Act, OTIs may be either an ocean
freight forwarder, a non-vessel-operating
common carrier, or both.
AGENCY:
Federal Maritime Commission.
