Activities: 30-Day Public Comment
Request
Federal Maritime Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The Federal Maritime
Commission (Commission) is giving
public notice that the agency has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for approval a new
data collection concerning
containerized vessel imports and
exports to and from the United States
described in this notice. The public is
invited to comment on the proposed
information collection pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before January 9, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
addressed to: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Attention:

Maritime Commission, OIRA_
Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV, and to:
Lucille L. Marvin, Managing Director,

SUMMARY:
Request for Comments
The Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on the continuing
information collections listed in this

notice, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.). On August 8, 2022, the
Commission published a notice and
request for comments in the Federal
Register (87 FR 48182) regarding
collection of information on Container
Vessel Imports and Exports. The
Commission received six comments
from the Maritime Exchange for the
Delaware River and Bay, World
Shipping Council, American Cotton
Shippers Association, BassTech
International, National Industrial
Transportation League, and National
Fisheries Institute. The American
Cotton Shippers Association, National
Fisheries Institute, BassTech, and
National Industrial Transportation
League supported the data collection.
Both the American Cotton Shippers
Association and the National Industrial
Transportation League identified
benefits to the shipping public from this
data collection due to increased
transparency and insight. BassTech
International recommended that
information collected should include
equipment type and port. This
information is included in the current
data collection template.
The Maritime Exchange for the
Delaware River and Bay opposed the
data collection as redundant with
existing Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) collections, though they noted
that the CBP automated collection of
export data is still in a pilot program.
The World Shipping Council likewise
opposed the data collection noting the
CBP data collection, and also suggested
supplementing data gaps with
information from the Army Corps of
Engineers, Bureau of Transportation
Statistics, and commercial sources.
They further contended that the PRA
requires the FMC to utilize data being
provided to other Federal agencies.
The Commission acknowledges that
the CBP has a rich source of data on
U.S. imports and intends to use CBP
data to validate the import data that it
collects. Additionally, the Commission
notes that the commercial sources of
data referenced by the World Shipping
Council are largely derived from
government data and will be helpful in
verifying the accuracy of the data
submitted to the Commission. None of
these data sources (government or
commercial) even if used in concert,
provide the level and scope of
information required to meet the
Congressional requirements under the
Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022
(OSRA 2022). The Commission,
however, intends to minimize the data
reporting burden as much as possible by
using definitions and terminology in its
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
75629
data collection that align with other
Federal agency data collections. This
will allow carriers to use and leverage
their existing systems to generate the
reports for items that have overlap.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be included or
summarized in our request for the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of the relevant information
collection. All comments are part of the
public record and subject to disclosure.
Please do not include any confidential
or inappropriate material in your
comments. We invite comments on the
value of collecting information on cargo
loaded and off-loaded outside of the
U.S. on service strings that include U.S.
port calls.

Title: Container vessel imports and
exports.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–XXXX.
Abstract: The Ocean Shipping Reform
Act of 2022 (OSRA 2022) includes the
following language, ‘‘The Federal
Maritime Commission shall publish on
its website a calendar quarterly report
that describes the total import and
export tonnage and the total loaded and
empty 20-foot equivalent units per
vessel (making port in the United States,
including any territory or possession of
the United States) operated by each
ocean common carrier covered under
this chapter. Ocean common carriers
under this chapter shall provide to the
Commission all necessary information,
as determined by the Commission, for
completion of this report.’’ 46 U.S.C.
41110. The FMC will request
information on containerized imports
and exports from each identified
common carrier on a monthly basis. The
data elements will include both tonnage
and empty and laden 20-foot, 40-foot,
and 45-foot containers discharged and
loaded. The scope will include each
port of call on service strings that
include U.S. calls by vessel-operating
common carriers operating in the U.S.
foreign oceanborne commerce.
The information will be used to
compile and publish a quarterly report
on total U.S. export and import tonnage
deployed and total loaded and empty
20-foot equivalent units per vessel
operated by vessel-operating common
carriers. The universe will be vesseloperating common carriers that
transport 1,500 or more 20-foot
equivalent units per month (total across
imports and exports, regardless of
whether they are laden or empty) in or
out of the U.S., in the U.S. oceanborne
foreign commerce. The Commission
estimates that approximately 70 of the
E:\FR\FM\09DEN1.SGM
09DEN1
75630
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 236 / Friday, December 9, 2022 / Notices
154 currently registered vessel-operating
common carriers transport 1,500 or
more 20-foot equivalent units per
month, totaling over 99 percent of
imported and exported containerized
cargo.
Current Actions: This information
being submitted contains a new data
collection.
Type of Review: New data collection.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will use collected data to publish a
quarterly report as directed by OSRA
2022.
Frequency: This information will be
collected monthly.
Type of Respondents: The universe
will be carriers who transport 1,500 20foot equivalent units or more per month
(total across imports and exports,
regardless of whether they are laden) in
or out of the U.S., in the U.S.
oceanborne foreign commerce.
Number of Annual Respondents: The
Commission estimates an annual
respondent universe of 70. The
Commission expects the estimated
number of annual respondents to
remain at 70 in the future.
Estimated Time per Response: The
time per response is estimated at 80
person-hours for reporting.
Total Annual Burden: For the 70
annual respondents, the burden is
calculated as 70 × 80 hours = 5,600
hours.
