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 February 29, 2024). 

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 

FMC–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 (VOCCs), 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 personhours. 

Associated with Monitoring 

Requirements under part 535: 

• Filing meeting minutes: 850 

responses × 2 hours = 1,700 personhours. 

• Reporting for VOCC rate discussion 

agreements: 40 × 50 = 2,000 personhours. 

• 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 personhours. 

Total burden equals 14,279 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

GSA’s Office of Government-wide 

Policy is announcing the availability of 

Standard Form 94, Statement of Witness 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
82894 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 226 / Monday, November 27, 2023 / Notices 

that is publicly available on http://

www.gsa.gov/forms. This form will be 

used to collect information from 

witnesses reporting accidents and/or 

damage to Federal Fleet Vehicles. 

Standard Form (SF) 94 provides 

additional accounts of motor vehicle 

accidents that supplement statements 

made by a motor vehicle operator. Use 

of the SF 94 is prescribed in Federal 

Management Regulation, 41 CFR 102– 

34.290(b) and Federal Property 

Management Regulations, 41 CFR 101– 

39.401(b). The SF 94 is usually 

completed at the time of an accident 

involving a motor vehicle owned or 

leased by the Government. 

The SF 94 is an essential part of the 

investigation of motor vehicle accidents, 

especially those involving the public 

with a potential for claims against the 

United States. It is a vital piece of 

information in lawsuits and provides 

the Assistant United States Attorneys 

with a written statement to refresh 

recollection of accidents, as necessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

There are two purposes. The first 

(‘‘889’’) supports implementation of 

Section 889 of the John S. McCain 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115–232) 

under lease acquisitions and 

commercial solution openings. This 

section prohibits agencies from 

procuring, obtaining, extending or 

renewing a contract with contractors 

that will provide or use covered 

telecommunication equipment or 

services as a substantial or essential 

component of any system, or as a 

critical technology as part of any system 

on or after August 13, 2020 unless an 

exception applies. 

The second (‘‘FASCSA Orders’’) 

supports implementation of supply 

chain risk information sharing and 

exclusion or removal orders consistent 

with the Federal Acquisition Supply 

Chain Security Act of 2018 and a final 

rule issued by the Federal Acquisition 

Security Council. The implementation 

of supply chain risk information sharing 

and exclusion or removal orders FAR 

interim rule requires complying with 

exclusion or removal orders (‘‘FASCSA 

Orders’’) and sharing certain supply 

chain risk information with the Federal 

Acquisition Security Council (FASC) 

when applicable FASCSA orders are 

issued from one or a combination of the 

following FASCSA orders-issuing 

agencies: Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), the Department of 

Defense (DoD), and/or the Office of the 

Director of National Intelligence (DNI). 

Only DHS may issue orders applicable 

to GSA (i.e., civilian agencies). 

For 889, the requirement is 

implemented in the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) through the provision 

at FAR 52.204–24, Representation 

Regarding Certain Telecommunications 

and Video Surveillance Services or 

Equipment and the clause at FAR 

52.204–25, Prohibition on Contracting 

for Certain Telecommunications and 

Video Surveillance Services or 

Equipment. 

For FASCSA Orders, the requirement 

is implemented in the FAR through the 

provision at FAR 52.204–29, Federal 

Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act 

Orders-Representation and Disclosures 

and the clause at FAR 52.204–30, 

Federal Acquisition Supply Chain 

Security Act Orders-Prohibition. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

1. FAR 52.204–24 for GSA Lease 

Acquisitions 

Respondents: 3,100.
