Title: 46 CFR 515—Licensing, 

Financial Responsibility Requirements 

and General Duties for Ocean 

Transportation Intermediaries and 

Related Forms. 

OMB Approval Number: 3072–0018 

(Expires Dec 31, 2023). 

Abstract: The Shipping Act of 1984 

(the Act), 46 U.S.C. 40101–41309, as 

amended, provides that no person in the 

United States may advertise, hold 

oneself out, or act as an ocean 

transportation intermediary (OTI) unless 

that person holds a license issued by the 

Commission. The Commission shall 

issue an OTI license to any person that 

the Commission determines to be 

qualified by experience and character to 

act as an OTI. Further, no person may 

act as an OTI unless that person 

furnishes a bond, proof of insurance, or 

other surety in a form and amount 

determined by the Commission to 

insure financial responsibility. The 

Commission has implemented the Act’s 

OTI requirements in regulations 

contained in 46 CFR part 515, including 

financial responsibility Forms FMC–48, 

FMC–67, FMC–68, and FMC–69, 

Optional Rider Forms FMC–48A and 

FMC–69A, its related license 

application Form FMC–18, and the 

related foreign-based unlicensed 

NVOCC registration/renewal Form 

FMC–65. This update includes an 

increase in number of responses 

received. The burden estimated per 

response remains the same. 

Current Actions: There are no changes 

to this information collection. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

uses information obtained under this 

part and through Form FMC–18 to 

determine the qualifications of OTIs and 

their compliance with the Act and 

regulations, and to enable the 

Commission to discharge its duties 

under the Act by ensuring that OTIs 

maintain acceptable evidence of 

financial responsibility. If the collection 

of information were not conducted, 

there would be no basis upon which the 

Commission could determine if 

applicants are qualified for licensing. 

The Commission would also not be able 

to effectively assess the compliance of 

foreign-based, unlicensed NVOCCs 

without the required registration 

information. 

Frequency: This information will be 

collected on an ad hoc basis. 

Type of Respondents: The types of 

respondents are persons desiring to 

obtain or maintain a license or 

registration to advertise, hold 

themselves out as, or act as an OTI. 

Under the Act, OTIs may be either an 

ocean freight forwarder, an NVOCC, or 

both. 

Number of Annual Respondents: The 

previous renewal in 2020 stated that the 

number of respondents was 8,729. Due 

to an increase in the number of OTIs, 

the Commission estimates the new 

number of respondents as 10,130. The 

distribution of responses is as follows: 

750 FMC–18 filings, 1,770 OTI License 

renewals, 5,160 FMC–48 filings, 50 

FMC–69 filings,12 FMC–48A filings, 

1,560 FMC–65 registration filings, and 

830 FMC–65 renewals. The Commission 

does not anticipate receiving any filings 

of FMC–67, FMC–68, or FMC–69A 

based on experience in recent years, and 

the estimate for these forms is zero. 

These forms are included in this 

renewal to remain available to 

respondents when applicable. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

average time per response to complete 

application Form FMC–18 is 2 hours 

and to complete the triennial renewal is 

10 minutes. The time to complete a 

financial responsibility form (FMC–48, 

FMC–48A, FMC–67, FMC–68, FMC–69, 

or FMC–69A) averages 20 minutes per 

form. The time to complete Form FMC– 

65 to submit or renew a registration as 

a foreign-based, unlicensed NVOCC 

averages 15 minutes.
