Abstract: As requested by the
shipping public and the regulated
industry, the FMC, through CADRS,
provides ombuds and mediation
services to assist parties in resolving
international ocean cargo shipping or
passenger vessel (cruise) disputes
without resorting to litigation or
administrative adjudication. These
functions focus on addressing issues
that members of the regulated industry
and the shipping public may encounter
at any stage of a commercial or customer
dispute. In order to provide its ombuds
and mediation services, CADRS needs
certain identifying information about
the involved parties, shipments, and
nature of the dispute. In response to
requests for assistance from the public,
CADRS requests this information from
parties seeking its assistance. The
collection and use of this information
on a cargo or cruise dispute is integral
to CADRS staff’s ability to efficiently
review the matter and provide
assistance. Aggregated information may
be used for statistical purposes.
Currently, this information is collected
in a non-uniform manner in response to
requests for CADRS assistance. https://
www.fmc.gov/resources/requesting_
cadrs_assistance.aspx.
As required by the Administrative
Dispute Resolution Act (ADRA), 5
U.S.C. 571–574, the information
contained in these forms is treated as
confidential and subject to the same
confidentiality provisions as
administrative dispute resolutions
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 574. Except as
specifically set forth in 5 U.S.C. 574,
neither CADRS staff nor the parties to a
dispute resolution shall disclose any
informal dispute resolution
communication.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. The FMC may not conduct
or sponsor a collection of information,
and the public is not required to
respond to an information collection,
unless it is approved by the OMB under
the PRA and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Request for Comments
The FMC solicits written comments
from all interested persons about the
proposed collection of information. The
Commission specifically solicits
information relevant to the following
topics: (1) Whether the collection of
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
information described above is
necessary for the proper performance of
the Commission’s functions, including
whether the information would have
practical utility; (2) whether the
estimated burden of the proposed
collection of information is accurate; (3)
whether the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected could
be enhanced; and (4) whether the
burden imposed by the collection of
information could be minimized by use
of automated, electronic, or other forms
of information technology.
The FMC will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.10. FMC will issue another
Federal Register announcement
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
