Needs and Uses: On June 18, 2015, the Commission adopted a Report and Order establishing the Numbering Authorization Application process, which allows interconnected VoIP providers to apply for a blanket authorization from the FCC that, once granted, will allow them to demonstrate that they have the authority to provide service in specific areas, thus enabling them to request numbers directly from the Numbering Administrators. This collection covers the information and VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:59 Jul 21, 2015 Jkt 235001 certifications that applicants must submit in order to comply with the Numbering Authorization Application process. The data, information, and documents acquired through this collection will allow interconnected VoIP providers to obtain numbers with minimal burden or delay while also preventing providers from obtaining numbers without first demonstrating that they can deploy and properly utilize such resources. This information will also help the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) protect against number exhaust while promoting competitive neutrality among traditional telecommunications carriers and interconnected VoIP providers by allowing both entities to obtain numbers directly from the Numbering Administrators. It will further help the FCC to maintain efficient utilization of numbering resources and ensure that telephone numbers are not being stranded. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H.

Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: The Federal Maritime Commission is publishing an updated list of controlled carriers, i.e., ocean common carriers operating in U.S.foreign trades that are owned or controlled by foreign governments. Such carriers are subject to special regulatory oversight by the Commission under the Shipping Act of 1984. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tyler J. Wood, General Counsel, Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street NW., Washington, DC 20573, (202) 523–5740. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Maritime Commission is publishing an updated list of controlled carriers. Section 3(8) of the Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. 40102(8)), defines a ‘‘controlled carrier’’ as an ocean common carrier that is, or whose operating assets are, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by a government, with ownership or control by a government being described in the statute. As required by the Shipping Act, controlled carriers are subject to special SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 43427 oversight by the Commission. Section 9(a) of the Shipping Act (46 U.S.C. 40701(b)), states that the Commission, at any time after notice and opportunity for a hearing, may prohibit the publication or use of a rate, charge, classification, rule, or regulation that a controlled carrier has failed to demonstrate is just and reasonable. Congress enacted these protections to ensure that controlled carries, whose marketplace decision-making can be influenced by foreign governmental priorities or by their access to nonmarket sources of capital, do not engage in unreasonable below-market pricing practices which could disrupt trade or harm privately-owned shipping companies. The controlled carrier list is not a comprehensive list of foreign-owned or -controlled ships or ship owners; rather, it is only a list of ocean common carriers that are controlled by governments. See 46 U.S.C. 40102(8). Thus, tramp operators and other non-common carriers are not included, nor are nonvessel-operating common carriers, regardless of their ownership or control. Since the last publication of this list on August 22, 2012 (77 FR 51801), the Commission has newly classified two ocean common carriers as controlled carriers, CNAN Nord SPA (‘‘CNAN’’) and United Arab Shipping Company (S.A.G.) (‘‘UASC’’). Pursuant to 46 CFR 501.23, CNAN was classified as a controlled carrier on September 23, 2014. Pursuant to 46 CFR 501.23 and 565.4, UASC notified the Commission of its change in majority ownership by the State of Qatar on June 18, 2014, and after review, the Commission classified UASC as a controlled carrier on July 6, 2015. It is requested that any other information regarding possible omissions or inaccuracies in this list be provided to the Commission’s Office of General Counsel. See 46 CFR 501.23.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION


Controlled Carriers Under the Shipping Act of 1984

AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Maritime Commission is publishing an updated list 
of controlled carriers, i.e., ocean common carriers operating in U.S.-
foreign trades that are owned or controlled by foreign governments. 
Such carriers are subject to special regulatory oversight by the 
Commission under the Shipping Act of 1984.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tyler J. Wood, General Counsel, 
Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street NW., Washington, 
DC 20573, (202) 523-5740.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Maritime Commission is 
publishing an updated list of controlled carriers. Section 3(8) of the 
Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. 40102(8)), defines a ``controlled 
carrier'' as an ocean common carrier that is, or whose operating assets 
are, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by a government, with 
ownership or control by a government being described in the statute.
    As required by the Shipping Act, controlled carriers are subject to 
special oversight by the Commission. Section 9(a) of the Shipping Act 
(46 U.S.C. 40701(b)), states that the Commission, at any time after 
notice and opportunity for a hearing, may prohibit the publication or 
use of a rate, charge, classification, rule, or regulation that a 
controlled carrier has failed to demonstrate is just and reasonable.
    Congress enacted these protections to ensure that controlled 
carries, whose marketplace decision-making can be influenced by foreign 
governmental priorities or by their access to non-market sources of 
capital, do not engage in unreasonable below-market pricing practices 
which could disrupt trade or harm privately-owned shipping companies.
    The controlled carrier list is not a comprehensive list of foreign-
owned or -controlled ships or ship owners; rather, it is only a list of 
ocean common carriers that are controlled by governments. See 46 U.S.C. 
40102(8). Thus, tramp operators and other non-common carriers are not 
included, nor are non-vessel-operating common carriers, regardless of 
their ownership or control.
    Since the last publication of this list on August 22, 2012 (77 FR 
51801), the Commission has newly classified two ocean common carriers 
as controlled carriers, CNAN Nord SPA (``CNAN'') and United Arab 
Shipping Company (S.A.G.) (``UASC'').
    Pursuant to 46 CFR 501.23, CNAN was classified as a controlled 
carrier on September 23, 2014.
    Pursuant to 46 CFR 501.23 and 565.4, UASC notified the Commission 
of its change in majority ownership by the State of Qatar on June 18, 
2014, and after review, the Commission classified UASC as a controlled 
carrier on July 6, 2015.
    It is requested that any other information regarding possible 
omissions or inaccuracies in this list be provided to the Commission's 
Office of General Counsel. See 46 CFR 501.23. The amended list of 
currently classified controlled carriers and their corresponding 
Commission-issued Registered Persons Index numbers is set forth below:
    (1) American President Lines, Ltd. and APL Co. Pte. Ltd. (RPI No. 
000240)--Republic of Singapore;
    (2) COSCO Container Lines Company, Limited (RPI No. 015614)--
People's Republic of China;
    (3) China Shipping Container Lines Co., Ltd and China Shipping 
Container Lines (Hong Kong) Co., Limited (RPI No. 019270)--People's 
Republic of China;
    (4) Hainan P O Shipping Co., Ltd. (RPI No. 022860)--People's 
Republic of China;
