Federal Maritime Commission – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Maritime Commission (``Commission'') revises its existing fees for filing petitions and complaints; various public information services, such as record searches, document copying, and admissions to practice; filing ocean transportation intermediary license applications; applications for special permission; service contracts; agreements; and passenger vessel performance and casualty certificate applications. These revised fees reflect current costs to the Commission. In addition, the Commission is establishing a separate fee for the filing of terminal exempt agreements.

The Federal Maritime Commission (``FMC'' or ``Commission'') amends its regulations relating to agency organization to reflect the reorganization of the agency that took effect August 23, 2004, and to delegate authority to certain FMC bureaus in order to improve the FMC's ability to carry out its statutory responsibilities over the ocean shipping industry in a more effective and efficient manner.
