Title: 46 CFR Part 565—Controlled
Carriers.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–0060
(Expires September 30, 2014).
Abstract: Section 9 of the Shipping
Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40701–40706,
requires that the Commission monitor
the practices of controlled carriers to
ensure that they do not maintain rates
or charges in their tariffs and service
contracts that are below a level that is
just and reasonable; nor establish,
maintain or enforce unjust or
unreasonable classifications, rules or
regulations in those tariffs or service
contracts which result or are likely to
result in the carriage or handling of
cargo at rates or charges that are below
a just and reasonable level. 46 CFR part
565 establishes the method by which
the Commission determines whether a
particular ocean common carrier is a
controlled carrier subject to section 9 of
the Shipping Act of 1984. When a
government acquires a controlling
interest in an ocean common carrier, or
when a controlled carrier newly enters
a United States trade, the Commission’s
rules require that such a carrier notify
the Commission of these events.
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 these notifications in order to
effectively discharge its statutory duty
to determine whether a particular ocean
common carrier is a controlled carrier
and therefore subject to the
requirements of section 9 of the
Shipping Act of 1984.
Frequency: The submission of
notifications from controlled carriers is
not assigned to a specific time frame by
the Commission; they are submitted as
circumstances warrant. The
Commission only requires notification
when a majority portion of an ocean
common carrier becomes owned or
controlled by a government, or when a
controlled carrier newly begins
operation in any United States trade.
Type of Respondents: Controlled
carriers are ocean common carriers
which are owned or controlled by a
government.
Number of Annual Respondents: It is
estimated that 4 of the currently
classified controlled carriers may
respond in any given year.
Classifications are reviewed periodically
to determine current status of
respondents and to increase or decrease
the number of controlled carriers based
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 232001
on new circumstances. The Commission
cannot anticipate when a new carrier
may enter the United States trade;
therefore, the number of annual
respondents may fluctuate from year to
year and could increase to 10 or more
at any time.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time for compliance is 7
person-hours per year.
Total Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the person-hour
burden required to make such
notifications at 28 person-hours per
year.

practices, including limitations of
liability for cargo loss or damage,
pertaining to receiving, delivering,
handling, or storing property at its
marine terminal. The Commission’s
rules governing MTO schedules are set
forth at 46 CFR part 525.
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 from Form
FMC–1 to determine the organization
name, organization number, home office
address, name and telephone number of
the firm’s representatives and the
location of MTO schedules of rates,
regulations and practices, and
publisher, should the MTOs determine
to make their schedules available to the
public, as set forth in section 8(f) of the
Shipping Act.
Frequency: This information is
collected prior to an MTO’s
commencement of its marine terminal
operations.
Type of Respondents: Persons
operating as MTOs.
Number of Annual Respondents: The
Commission estimates the respondent
universe at 29, of which 15 opt to make
their schedules available to the public.
Estimated Time per Response: The
time per response for completing Form
FMC–1 averages 0.5 person hours, and
approximately 5 person-hours for
related MTO schedules.

When parties enter into a service
contract, it must be filed with the
Commission.
Type of Respondents: Parties that
enter into service contracts are ocean
common carriers and agreements among
ocean common carriers on the one hand,
and shippers or shipper’s associations

the Commission to exempt by rule ‘‘any
class of agreements between persons
subject to this part or any specified
activity of those persons from any
requirement of this part if the
Commission finds that the exemption
will not result in substantial reduction
in competition or be detrimental to
commerce. The Commission may attach
conditions to an exemption and may, by
order, revoke an exemption.’’ 46 CFR
part 531 allows non-vessel-operating
common carriers (NVOCCs) and
shippers’ associations with NVOCC
members to act as shipper parties in
NVOCC Service Arrangements (NSAs),
and to be exempt from certain tariff
publication requirements of the
Shipping Act provided the carriage in

Title: 46 CFR Part 565--Controlled Carriers.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0060 (Expires September 30, 2014).
Abstract: Section 9 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40701-
40706, requires that the Commission monitor the practices of controlled
carriers to ensure that they do not maintain rates or charges in their
tariffs and service contracts that are below a level that is just and
reasonable; nor establish, maintain or enforce unjust or unreasonable
classifications, rules or regulations in those tariffs or service
contracts which result or are likely to result in the carriage or
handling of cargo at rates or charges that are below a just and
reasonable level. 46 CFR part 565 establishes the method by which the
Commission determines whether a particular ocean common carrier is a
controlled carrier subject to section 9 of the Shipping Act of 1984.
When a government acquires a controlling interest in an ocean common
carrier, or when a controlled carrier newly enters a United States
trade, the Commission's rules require that such a carrier notify the
Commission of these events.
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 these notifications in order to
effectively discharge its statutory duty to determine whether a
particular ocean common carrier is a controlled carrier and therefore
subject to the requirements of section 9 of the Shipping Act of 1984.
Frequency: The submission of notifications from controlled carriers
is not assigned to a specific time frame by the Commission; they are
submitted as circumstances warrant. The Commission only requires
notification when a majority portion of an ocean common carrier becomes
owned or controlled by a government, or when a controlled carrier newly
begins operation in any United States trade.
Type of Respondents: Controlled carriers are ocean common carriers
which are owned or controlled by a government.
Number of Annual Respondents: It is estimated that 4 of the
currently classified controlled carriers may respond in any given year.
Classifications are reviewed periodically to determine current status
of respondents and to increase or decrease the number of controlled
carriers based on new circumstances. The Commission cannot anticipate
when a new carrier may enter the United States trade; therefore, the
number of annual respondents may fluctuate from year to year and could
increase to 10 or more at any time.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time for compliance is 7
person-hours per year.
Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the person-hour
burden required to make such notifications at 28 person-hours per year.
Title: 46 CFR part 525--Marine Terminal Operator Schedules and
Related Form FMC-1.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0061 (Expires September 30, 2014).
Abstract: Section 8(f) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C.
40501(f), provides that a marine terminal operator (MTO) may make
available to the public a schedule of its rates, regulations, and
practices, including limitations of liability for cargo loss or damage,
pertaining to receiving, delivering, handling, or storing property at
its marine terminal. The Commission's rules governing MTO schedules are
set forth at 46 CFR part 525.
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 from Form
FMC-1 to determine the organization name, organization number, home
office address, name and telephone number of the firm's representatives
and the location of MTO schedules of rates, regulations and practices,
and publisher, should the MTOs determine to make their schedules
available to the public, as set forth in section 8(f) of the Shipping
Act.
Frequency: This information is collected prior to an MTO's
commencement of its marine terminal operations.
Type of Respondents: Persons operating as MTOs.
Number of Annual Respondents: The Commission estimates the
respondent universe at 29, of which 15 opt to make their schedules
available to the public.
Estimated Time per Response: The time per response for completing
Form FMC-1 averages 0.5 person hours, and approximately 5 person-hours
for related MTO schedules.
Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the total person-hour
burden at 90 person-hours.
Title: 46 CFR part 520--Carrier Automated Tariffs and Related Form
FMC-1.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0064 (Expires September 30, 2014).
Abstract: Except with respect to certain specified commodities,
section 8(a) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40501(a)-(c),
requires that each common carrier and conference shall keep open to
public inspection, in an automated tariff system, tariffs showing its
rates, charges, classifications, rules, and practices between all ports
