response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Wood 

furniture manufacturers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

750. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

semiannually and quarterly. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

47,190 hours. 

Total Estimated Costs: $3,003,109, 

which includes $0 annualized Capital 

Startup Costs, $18,000 annualized 

Operations & Management (O&M) Costs, 

and $2,985,109 annualized Labor Costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours or cost in this 

ICR compared to the previous ICR. This 

is due to two considerations. First, the 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years. 

Secondly, the growth rate for the 

industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant 

change in the overall burden.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 07–03] 

Armstrong World Industries, Inc. v. 

Expeditors International of 

Washington, Inc.; Notice of Complaint 

and Assignment 

Notice is given that a complaint and 

First Request for Production of 

Documents has been filed with the 

Federal Maritime Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) by Armstrong World 

Industries, Inc. (‘‘AWI’’). Complainant 

asserts that it is a corporation under the 

laws of the State of Pennsylvania whose 

principal business is as a designer and 

manufacturer of floors. Complainant 

alleges that Respondent, Expeditors 

International (‘‘Expeditors’’) is a 

corporation under the laws of the State 

of Washington and is licensed by the 

Federal Maritime Commission as an 

Ocean Transportation Intermediary, 

Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier. 

Complainant alleges that they used 

the services of Respondent for their 

ocean transportation requirements 

around the world, including from the 

Far East to Complainant’s facilities in 

the U.S. through U.S. West Coast Ports. 

Complainant asserts that during the 

2005 peak shipping season Respondent 

‘‘triple charged AWI for the passthrough peak season shipping charges 

assessed under Respondent’s ocean 

shipping contracts with its VesselOperating Common Carriers.’’

Complainant alleges that the additional 

charges constitute violations of the 

following Sections of the Shipping Act 

of 1984 (‘‘The Act’’): Section 10(b)(4)(a) 

(46 U.S.C. 1709(b)(4)(a)) (now 46 U.S.C. 

41104) for unfair or unjustly 

discriminatory practices in the matter of 

rates and charges; Section 10(b)(8) (46 

U.S.C. App. section 1709(b)(8)) (now 46 

U.S.C. 41104) for the imposition of 

undue and unreasonable prejudice and 

disadvantage; and Section 10(d)(1) (46 

U.S.C. App. section 1709(d)(1)) (now 46 

U.S.C. 41102(c)), for failure to establish 

just and reasonable regulations and 

practices relating to or connecting with 

receiving or handling of property. 

Complainant requests the Commission 

to: (a) Find Respondent to have violated 

the above referenced sections of the Act; 

(b) direct Respondent to pay 

$216,765.00 and such other amounts 

proven by evidence in this proceeding, 

interest, and attorney’s fees; and (c) 

impose any other relief as the 

Commission determines to be proper, 

fair, and just. 

This proceeding has been assigned to 

the Office of Administrative Law Judges. 

Hearing in this matter, if any is held, 

shall commence within the time 

limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61, 

and only after consideration has been 

given by the parties and the presiding 

officer to the use of alternative forms of 

dispute resolution. The hearing shall 

include oral testimony and crossexamination in the discretion of the 

presiding officer only upon proper 

showing that there are genuine issues of 

material fact that cannot be resolved on 

the basis of sworn statements, affidavits, 

depositions, or other documents or that 

the nature of the matter in issue is such 

that an oral hearing and crossexamination are necessary for the 

development of an adequate record. 

Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR 

502.61, the initial decision of the 

presiding officer in this proceeding shall 

be issued by April 9, 2008, and the final 

decision of the Commission shall be 

issued by August 7, 2008.

Secretary.
