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. This update includes a revised FMC– 150 form, which is collected upon agreement filing for a subset of agreements under 46 CFR part 535. The Commission intends that filers will have a choice between using the existing FMC–150 or the revised FMC–150 pending any other changes in Part 535 through rulemaking. This update also includes an increase in the number of responses received. The total estimated burden hours has decreased. Current Actions: Revision of Form 150. Type of Review: Extension. Needs and Uses: The Commission uses the information filed by agreement parties to monitor their activities as required by the Shipping Act. Under 46 U.S.C. 41307, the Commission must determine whether an agreement will have, or has resulted in, a substantial reduction in competition within the prevailing market leading to an unreasonable reduction in transportation service or an unreasonable increase in transportation costs ‘‘or to substantially lessen competition in the purchasing of certain covered services.’’ In such cases, the Commission would take action to seek to enjoin the agreement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Frequency: This information will be collected as required by the regulations at Part 535. Type of Respondents: The types of respondents are marine terminal operators, vessel-operating common carriers, and other parties to FMC-filed agreements. Number of Annual Respondents: The 2019 notice stated that the number of respondents was 334. This number erroneously counted the number of VOCCs and MTOs as the number of respondents. The adjusted number accounts for the number of filings of agreements and monitoring information, as well as those subject to recordkeeping, under the regulations at Part 535. Some MTOs and VOCCs are not required to submit any information, some are subject only to the recordkeeping, and a relatively small subset are parties to multiple agreements and therefore file multiple types of information under this E:\FR\FM\23AUN1.SGM 23AUN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 57460 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 23, 2023 / Notices collection with different periodicity. The agency will consider these separate respondents for the purpose of this collection. The total number is 2,887. Estimated Time per Response: Responses associated with Agreement filings under Part 535: • The average time per response to file an Agreement that includes Form FMC–150 is 75 hours. • The average time per response to file an Agreement that does not require FMC–150 is 6 hours. • The time to file an Agreement termination averages 0.25 hours. Responses associated with Monitoring Requirements under Part 535: • The average time for meeting minutes is 2 hours. • The average time for filing quarterly monitoring reports for VOCC rate discussion agreements is 50 hours. • The average time for filing FMC– 151 (filed by alliance parties) is 160 hours. • Other reporting requirements average 10 hours. • Recordkeeping for optionally filed agreements is estimated at 0.25 hours. Total Annual Burden: Associated with Agreement filings under Part 535: • Filing an Agreement that includes Form FMC–150: 15 responses × 75 hours = 1,125 person-hours. • Filing an Agreement that does not require FMC–150: 60 responses × 6 hours = 360 person-hours. • Termination of Agreements: 36 responses × 0.25 hours = 9 personhours.

    Title: 46 CFR 535--Ocean Common Carrier and Marine Terminal 
Operator Agreements Subject to the Shipping Act of 1984.
    OMB Approval Number: 3072-0045 (Expires August 31, 2023).
    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 (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 carriers and MTOs, 
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.
    This update includes a revised FMC-150 form, which is collected 
upon agreement filing for a subset of agreements under 46 CFR part 535. 
The Commission intends that filers will have a choice between using the 
existing FMC-150 or the revised FMC-150 pending any other changes in 
Part 535 through rulemaking. This update also includes an increase in 
the number of responses received. The total estimated burden hours has 
decreased.
    Current Actions: Revision of Form 150.
    Type of Review: Extension.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission uses the information filed by 
agreement parties to monitor their activities as required by the 
Shipping Act. Under 46 U.S.C. 41307, the Commission must determine 
whether an agreement will have, or has resulted in, a substantial 
reduction in competition within the prevailing market leading to an 
unreasonable reduction in transportation service or an unreasonable 
increase in transportation costs ``or to substantially lessen 
competition in the purchasing of certain covered services.'' In such 
cases, the Commission would take action to seek to enjoin the agreement 
in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
    Frequency: This information will be collected as required by the 
regulations at Part 535.
    Type of Respondents: The types of respondents are marine terminal 
operators, vessel-operating common carriers, and other parties to FMC-
filed agreements.
    Number of Annual Respondents: The 2019 notice stated that the 
number of respondents was 334. This number erroneously counted the 
number of VOCCs and MTOs as the number of respondents. The adjusted 
number accounts for the number of filings of agreements and monitoring 
information, as well as those subject to recordkeeping, under the 
regulations at Part 535. Some MTOs and VOCCs are not required to submit 
any information, some are subject only to the recordkeeping, and a 
relatively small subset are parties to multiple agreements and 
therefore file multiple types of information under this

collection with different periodicity. The agency will consider these 
separate respondents for the purpose of this collection. The total 
number is 2,887.
    Estimated Time per Response:
    Responses associated with Agreement filings under Part 535:
     The average time per response to file an Agreement that 
includes Form FMC-150 is 75 hours.
     The average time per response to file an Agreement that 
does not require FMC-150 is 6 hours.
     The time to file an Agreement termination averages 0.25 
hours.
    Responses associated with Monitoring Requirements under Part 535:
     The average time for meeting minutes is 2 hours.
     The average time for filing quarterly monitoring reports 
for VOCC rate discussion agreements is 50 hours.
     The average time for filing FMC-151 (filed by alliance 
parties) is 160 hours.
     Other reporting requirements average 10 hours.
     Recordkeeping for optionally filed agreements is estimated 
at 0.25 hours.
    Total Annual Burden:
    Associated with Agreement filings under Part 535:
     Filing an Agreement that includes Form FMC-150: 15 
responses x 75 hours = 1,125 person-hours.
     Filing an Agreement that does not require FMC-150: 60 
responses x 6 hours = 360 person-hours.
     Termination of Agreements: 36 responses x 0.25 hours = 9 
person-hours.
    Associated with Monitoring Requirements under Part 535:
     Filing meeting minutes: 850 responses x 2 hours = 1,700 
person-hours.
     Reporting for VOCC rate discussion agreements: 40 x 50 = 
2,000 person-hours.
     Reporting on FMC-151 (filed by Alliance parties): 36 x 160 
= 5,760 person-hours.
     Other reporting requirements = 300 x 10 = 3,000 person-
hours.
     Recordkeeping for optionally filed agreements = 1,300 x 
0.25 = 325 person-hours.
    Total burden equals 14,279 hours.

Secretary.
