Federal Maritime Commission August 10, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Maritime Commission (``FMC'' or ``Commission'') amends its regulations relating to the method of filing Form FMC-18, Application for a License as an Ocean Transportation Intermediary (``OTI''), to provide for optional filing of OTI applications through a new electronic filing system. This optional filing system is intended to facilitate more efficient processing and review of applications for licensing. A filing fee of $250 will apply to new applicants for OTI licensing, and $125 for existing licensees who might want to use the optional electronic filing system to update their licensing records or to submit changes in the licensee's organization for which prior Commission approval is required.
