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 × 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 person-
hours.
Associated with Monitoring
Requirements under Part 535:
•Filing meeting minutes: 850
responses × 2 hours = 1,700 person-
hours.
•Reporting for VOCC rate discussion
agreements: 40 × 50 = 2,000 person-
hours.
•Reporting on FMC–151 (filed by
Alliance parties): 36 × 160 = 5,760
person-hours.
•Other reporting requirements = 300
× 10 = 3,000 person-hours.
•Recordkeeping for optionally filed
agreements = 1,300 × 0.25 = 325 person-
hours.
Total burden equals 14,279 hours.
