more effective or less burdensome. The 

Commission considered action on 

Docket No. 05–06 at its December 8, 

2011 meeting. On April 12, 2012, the 

Commission issued an order 

discontinuing Docket No. 05–06, citing 

its intention to conduct a full review of 

its regulations contained in part 531 

governing NSAs, in accordance with its 

Plan for Retrospective Review of 

Existing Rules. 

Accordingly, the Commission now 

invites comment and information from 

all members of the interested public 

(whether they be located in the United 

States or elsewhere), including ocean 

common carriers, ocean transportation 

intermediaries, exporters, and beneficial 

cargo owners, on ways to improve or 

change part 531. The Commission 

specifically requests comments and 

current information on (1) extending the 

exemption to allow two or more 

unaffiliated NVOCCs to jointly offer 

NSAs, and (2) how to make the NSA 

rules less burdensome and more 

effective in achieving the objectives of 

the Shipping Act. Comments that are 

specific and provide supporting data are 

most helpful. 

Submit Comments 

Non-confidential filings may be 

submitted in hard copy or by email as 

an attachment (preferably in Microsoft 

Word or PDF) addressed to 

secretary@fmc.gov on or before June 18, 

2012. Include in the subject line: 

‘‘NSAs—Response to NOI.’’ Confidential 

filings must be submitted in the 

traditional manner on paper, rather than 

by email. Comments submitted that seek 

confidential treatment must be 

submitted in hard copy by U.S. mail or 

courier. Confidential filings must be 

accompanied by a transmittal letter that 

identifies the filing as ‘‘confidential’’ 

and describes the nature and extent of 

the confidential treatment requested. 

When submitting comments in response 

to the Notice of Inquiry that contain 

confidential information, the 

confidential copy of the filing must 

consist of the complete filing and be 

marked by the filer as ‘‘ConfidentialRestricted,’’ with the confidential 

material clearly marked on each page. 

When a confidential filing is submitted, 

an original and one additional copy of 

the public version of the filing must be 

submitted. The public version of the 

filing should exclude confidential 

materials, and be clearly marked on 

each affected page, ‘‘confidential 

materials excluded.’’ The Commission 

will provide confidential treatment to 

the extent allowed by law for those 

submissions, or parts of submissions, for 

which confidential treatment is 

requested. Questions regarding filing or 

treatment of confidential responses to 

this Notice of Inquiry should be directed 

to the Commission’s Secretary, Karen V. 

Gregory, at the telephone number or 

email provided above. 

By the Commission. 

Karen V. Gregory, 

Secretary.

Commission consideration or court

prohibited in Commission proceedings, 

such as this one, which involve channel 

allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for 

rules governing permissible ex parte 

contacts.

filing procedures for comments, see 47
