Information Collection Open for Comment Title: 46 CFR Part 535—Ocean Common Carrier and Marine Terminal Operator Agreements Subject to the Shipping Act of 1984. OMB Approval Number: 3072–0045 (Expires September 30, 2013). Abstract: Section 4 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. § 40301(a)-(c), identifies certain agreements by or among ocean common carriers and marine terminal operators (MTOs) that fall within the jurisdiction of that Act. Section 5 of the Act, 46 U.S.C. 40302, requires that carriers and MTOs file those agreements with the Federal Maritime Commission. Section 6 of the Act, 46 U.S.C. 40304, 40306, and 41307(b)–(d), specifies the Commission actions that may be taken with respect to filed agreements, including requiring the submission of additional information. Section 15 of the Act, 46 U.S.C. 40104, authorizes the Commission to require that common carriers, among other persons, file periodic or special reports. Requests for additional information and the filing of periodic or special reports are meant to assist the Commission in fulfilling its statutory mandate of overseeing the activities of the ocean transportation industry. These reports are necessary so that the 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:26 Jun 25, 2013 Jkt 229001 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(b)(1), the Commission must determine whether filed agreements are likely, by a reduction in competition, to produce 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 the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to enjoin the operation of that agreement. Other than an agreement filed under section 5 of the Act, the information collected may not be disclosed to the public except as may be relevant to an administrative or judicial proceeding, and disclosure to Congress. 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 MTOs subject to the Shipping Act of 1984. Number of Annual Respondents: The Commission estimates a potential annual respondent universe of 462 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 8.4 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 be between 18 and 138 person-hours per response, depending on the complexity of the required information. The average time for reporting for all responses is 9.5 person-hours. Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the total personhour burden at 13,638 person-hours. Karen V. Gregory, Secretary.
