Records 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC, Commission, or 

Agency) proposes to modify an existing 

system of records, FCC/OMD–23, 

Cadapult Space Management Center 

(CSMS), subject to the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended. This action is 

necessary to meet the requirements of 

the Privacy Act to publish in the 

Federal Register notice of the existence 

and character of records maintained by 

the agency. The Commission uses this 

system to allocate the offices, 

workstations, and facility workstations 

for FCC employees and contractors 

following the FCC/National Treasury 

Union (NTEU) space assignment policy. 

This modification makes various 

necessary changes and updates, 

including formatting changes required 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) Circular A–108 since its 

previous publication, the addition of six 

new routine uses, as well as the revision 

of three existing routine uses. 

DATES: This modified system of records 

will become effective on January 10, 

2024. Written comments on the routine 

uses are due by February 9, 2024. The 

routine uses in this action will become 

effective on February 9, 2024 unless 

comments are received that require a 

contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Brendan 

McTaggart, Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC), 45 L Street NE, 

Washington, DC 20554, or to privacy@

fcc.gov.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION 

[DOCKET NO. 24–01] 

Visual Comfort & Co., Complainant v. 

COSCO Shipping Lines (North 

America) Inc., Respondent; Notice of 

Filing of Complaint and Assignment 

Served: January 4, 2024. 

Notice is given that a complaint has 

been filed with the Federal Maritime 

Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) by 

Visual Comfort & Co. (the 

‘‘Complainant’’) against COSCO 

Shipping Lines (North America) Inc. 

(the ‘‘Respondent’’). Complainant states 

that the Commission has jurisdiction 

over the complaint pursuant to 46 

U.S.C. 41301 through 41309 and 

personal jurisdiction over Respondent 

as an ocean common carrier as defined 

in 46 CFR 520.2. 

Complainant is a corporation 

organized under the laws of Texas with 

its principal place of business located in 

Houston, Texas, and is a shipper as 

defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(23). 

Complainant identifies Respondent as 

a Chinese global ocean carrier with an 

office in the United States located in 

Secaucus, New Jersey, and as a vesseloperating ocean common carrier as 

defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(18). 

Complainant alleges that Respondent 

violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c) and 

41104(a)(10) and 46 CFR 545.5 

regarding a failure to establish, observe, 

and enforce just and reasonable 

practices relating to receiving, handling, 

storing, and delivering property; and an 

unreasonable refusal to deal or 

negotiate. Complainant alleges these 

violations arose from assessment of 

demurrage, detention, per diem, and 

yard storage charges during periods of 

time in which the charges were not just 

or reasonable because of circumstances 

outside the control of the Complainant 

and its agents and service providers, 

and because of acts or omissions of the 

Respondent. 

An answer to the complaint must be 

filed with the Commission within 25 

days after the date of service. 

The full text of the complaint can be 

found in the Commission’s electronic 

Reading Room at https://www2.fmc.gov/ 

readingroom/proceeding/24-01/. This 

proceeding has been assigned to the 

Office of Administrative Law Judges.
