Complaint and Assignment
Notice is given that a complaint has
been filed with the Federal Maritime
Commission (Commission) by The
Auction Block Company, an Alaska
Corporation, hereinafter ‘‘Complainant,’’
against the City of Homer, a municipal

hereinafter ‘‘Respondents’’.
Complainant asserts that it is a seafood
processing and logistics firm organized
under the laws of the State of Alaska.

Complainant alleges that Respondent
the City of Homer is a municipal
corporation organized under the laws of
Alaska, is a marine terminal operator
and owns and operates the Port of
Homer.
Complainant alleges that it pays to
Respondents the rates published in
Respondents’ tariff for use of the
premises and a crane, but that ‘‘its major
competitor, Icicle Seafoods, Inc. d/b/a/
Seward Fisheries, is not assessed and
does not pay the rates published in the
Tariff.’’ Therefore Complainant alleges
that Respondent is in violation of 46
U.S.C. 41106(2) and (3) as it ‘‘has given
undue and/or unreasonable preference
and/or advantage and/or imposed
undue or unreasonable prejudice and/or
disadvantage with respect to
Complainant.
Complainant requests that the
Commission order Respondent to ‘‘cease
and desist from the aforesaid violations
of said acts; to establish and put in force
such practices as the Commission
determines to be lawful and reasonable;

Commission determines to be just and
proper in the premises.’’ The full text of
the complaint can be found in the
Commission’s Electronic Reading Room

This proceeding has been assigned to
the Office of Administrative Law Judges.
Hearing in this matter, if any is held,

given by the parties and the presiding
officer to the use of alternative forms of
dispute resolution. The hearing shall

showing that there are genuine issues of

emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Possible Revocation of Ocean
Transportation Intermediary License
No. 021899—Trans World Logistics
Corporation; Order To Show Cause
Trans World Logistics Corporation
(Trans World Logistics) is an Indiana
corporation, incorporated in October
2006. Records maintained by the
Commission’s Bureau of Certification
and Licensing (BCL) indicate that Trans
World Logistics maintains its principal
offices at 702 Penny Lane, Plainfield,
Indiana. BCL records identify the
principals of the firm as Malene
Sorensen, Vice President and Satinder
Kaur, President, Treasurer and CEO.
Trans World Logistics has been licensed
to operate as an ocean transportation
intermediary (OTI) pursuant to FMC
license No. 021899 since December
2008.
Trans World Logistics was licensed
on the basis of the qualifications of Ms.
Sorensen, an officer of the company and
its approved Qualifying Individual (QI).
Based on information obtained in the
course of a routine OTI compliance
audit conducted by the Commission’s
Bureau of Enforcement (BOE), it appears
that the QI resigned her position as an
officer on November 3, 2010. According
to BCL’s records, the licensee has not
notified the Commission of the QI’s
resignation or sought approval of a
replacement QI. The Commission’s OTI
regulations require that when, as here,
a corporation has been licensed on the
basis of the qualifications of an officer
of the company and that individual no
longer serves in a full-time and active
capacity, the licensee must report such
change to the Commission within 30
days and within that time period seek
Commission approval of any other
active officer who may qualify the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
licensee. 46 CFR 515.18(c). It appears
that Trans World Logistics has violated
and continues to be in violation of this
requirement.
In addition, as part of its OTI
compliance audit of Trans World
Logistics, BOE sent repeated requests to
the company between June and
November, 2011, seeking current
information about its OTI business.
Such requests were sent to the addresses
contained in BCL’s records as well as
additional addresses for the firm’s
principals located through research
conducted by staff. Despite BOE’s efforts
to communicate with the licensee in
order to obtain information about its
OTI business, Trans World Logistics has
repeatedly failed to reply to such
requests. The Commission regulations
require a licensee to promptly respond
to lawful inquiries from any authorized
representative of the Commission. 46
CFR 515.31(g). It appears that Trans
World Logistics also continues to be in
violation of this requirement.
Section 19(c) of the Shipping Act, 46
U.S.C. 40903 (a), provides that the
Commission:
* * * after notice and opportunity for
hearing, shall suspend or revoke an ocean
transportation intermediary’s license if the
Commission finds that the ocean
transportation intermediary—(1) is not
qualified to provide intermediary services; or
(2) that it willfully failed to comply with a
provision of this part or with an order or
regulation of the Commission.
As pertinent, the Commission’s
regulations at 46 CFR 515.16(a) provide
that an OTI license be revoked or
suspended for any of the following
reasons:
(1) Violation of any provision of the
Act, or any other statute or Commission
order or regulation related to carrying
on the business of an ocean
transportation intermediary;
(2) Failure to respond to any lawful
order or inquiry by the Commission;
(3) Making a materially false or
misleading statement to the Commission
in connection with an application for a
license or an amendment to an existing
license;
(4) Where the Commission determines
that the licensee is not qualified to
render intermediary services;
(5) Failure to honor the licensee’s
financial obligations to the Commission.
It appears that Trans World Logistics
has violated Commissions regulations
by failing to notify the Commission of
the resignation of its QI, failing to seek
approval of a replacement, and
repeatedly failing to respond to lawful
inquiries by the Commission with
respect to its OTI business. Accordingly,
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
it appears that revocation of its license
is warranted under the Shipping Act.
Now therefore, it is ordered That
pursuant to Sections 11, 14 and 19 of
the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C.
41302, 41304, 40903(a)(2), Trans World
Logistics Corporation is directed to
show cause, within 30 days of
publication of this Order in the Federal
Register, why the Commission should
not revoke its license for failure to
report the resignation of its QI and seek
approval of a replacement, as required
by 46 CFR 515.18; and for failure to
reply to lawful inquiries by the
Commission with respect to its business
as required by 46 CFR 515.31(g).
It is further ordered That this
proceeding be limited to the submission
of affidavits of fact and memoranda of
law;
It is further ordered That any person
having an interest and desiring to
intervene in this proceeding shall file a
petition for leave to intervene in
accordance with Rule 72 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure, 46 CFR 502.72. Such petition
shall be accompanied by the petitioner’s
memorandum of law and affidavit of
fact, if any, and shall be filed no later
than the date fixed below;
It is further ordered That Trans World
Logistics Corporation be named as
Respondent in this proceeding.
Affidavits of fact and memoranda of law
shall be filed by Respondent and any
intervenors in support of Respondent no
later than May 11, 2012;
It is further ordered That the
Commission’s Bureau of Enforcement be
made a party to this proceeding;
It is further ordered That reply
affidavits and memoranda of law shall
be filed by BOE and intervenors in
support no later than May 29, 2012;
It is further ordered That:
(a) Should any party believe that an
evidentiary hearing is required, that
party must submit a request for such
hearing together with a statement setting
forth in detail the facts to be proved, the
relevance of those facts to the issues in
this proceeding, a description of the
evidence which would be adduced, and
why such evidence cannot be submitted
by affidavit;
(b) Any request for evidentiary
hearing shall be filed no later than May
29, 2012;
It is further ordered That notice of this
Order to Show Cause be published in
the Federal Register, and that a copy
thereof be served upon Respondent at
its last known address;
It is further ordered That all
documents submitted by any party of
record in this proceeding shall be filed
