Statutory authority for this collection is 

contained in sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), 4(o), 

251(e)(3), 254, 301, 303(b), 303(g), 

303(r), 307, 309(a), 309(j), 316, 332, and

Total Annual Burden: 16,320 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

launched the Disaster Information 

Reporting System (DIRS) in 2007 

pursuant to its mandate to promote the 

safety of life and property through the 

use of wire and radio communication as 

required by the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended. DIRS is a voluntary, 

efficient, and web-based system that 

communications companies may use to 

report their infrastructure status during 

times of crisis (e.g., related to a disaster). 

DIRS uses a number of template forms 

tailored to different communications 

sectors (i.e., wireless, wireline, 

broadcast, and cable) to facilitate the 

entry of this information. To use DIRS, 

a company first inputs its emergency 

contact information. After this, they 

submit information using the template 

form appropriate for their 

communications sector. In a Second 

Report and Order adopted on March 18, 

2021, as FCC 21–34, the Commission 

adopted rules allowing certain federal, 

state, and Tribal Nation agencies 

(Participating Agencies) to access to 

certain geographically relevant reports 

filed in the Commission’s Disaster 

Information Reporting System (DIRS). 

The information collections and record 

keeping provisions adopted will allow 

Participating Agencies to apply for, and 

receive access to, DIRS report in the 

areas where they have jurisdiction. The 

collection will further enable these 

Participating Agencies, at their election, 

to share DIRS reports with qualified 

local agencies whose jurisdiction is 

affected by a disaster, while still 

maintaining the confidentiality of the 

substantive data. The changes to the 

data collections fields in the DIRS 

filings made by service providers will 

further facilitate the ability of 

Participating Agencies to access those 

reports relevant to their specific 

geographies. Finally, the changes to the 

information collection and associated 

recordkeeping requirements, including 

retention by participating agencies of 

qualification forms submitted by local 

agency seeking access to DIRS data, as 

well as a list of which local agencies 

receive information from the 

Participating Agency, training materials 

setting clear parameters for the use of 

DIRS data, and a list of those persons 

granted DIRS account access, will 

enable auditing functions to ensure 

accountability in the use of DIRS 

information and immediate reporting of 

breaches of access or confidentiality 

protocols. 

The Commission notes that the 

information sharing framework 

established in the Second Report and 

Order allows for access to be granted not 

only for DIRS, but also to the 

Commission’s Network Outage 

Reporting System (NORS). We note that 

the process and requirements for 

Participating Agencies under this 

framework is identical, regardless of 

whether they seek access to NORS, 

DIRS, or both. Because the Commission 

anticipates that NORS and DIRS access 

will be requested together in most cases, 

it believes that the estimated burden 

hours and costs for Participating 

Agencies associated with DIRS access 

are fully included in the estimates that 

it has separately submitted as part of its 

collection on Part 4 of the Commission’s 

Rules Concerning Disruptions to 

Communications, OMB Control No. 

3060–0484. To avoid double-counting 

the estimated burden hours and costs 

associated with both collections, the 

Commission estimates the marginal cost 

of the Participating Agency aspect of 

this collection to be zero.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION 

[Docket No. FMC–2024–0005] 

Controlled Carriers Under the Shipping 

Act of 1984 

AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Maritime 

Commission is publishing an updated 

list of controlled carriers, i.e., ocean 

common carriers operating in U.S.- 

foreign trades that are, or whose 

operating assets are, directly or 

indirectly owned or controlled by 

foreign governments. Such carriers are 

subject to increased regulatory oversight 

by the Commission. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

David Eng, Secretary; Phone: (202) 523– 

5725; Email: secretary@fmc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Maritime Commission is 

updating the list of controlled carriers to 

add an entity that qualifies as a 

controlled carrier, and to remove an 

entity that no longer qualifies as a 

controlled carrier. The Shipping Act of 

1984, as amended (Shipping Act), 

defines a ‘‘controlled carrier’’ as an 

ocean common carrier that is, or whose 

operating assets are, directly or 

indirectly owned or controlled by a 

government. 46 U.S.C. 40102(9). 

Ownership or control by a government 

is deemed to exist for a carrier if (1) a 

majority of the interest in the carrier is 

owned or controlled in any manner by 

that government, an agency of that 

government, or a public or private 

person controlled by that government, 

or (2) that government has the right to 

appoint or disapprove the appointment 

of a majority of the directors, the chief 

operating officer, or the chief executive 

officer of the carrier. Id.; 46 CFR 

565.2(a). 

As required by the Shipping Act, 

controlled carriers are subject to 

enhanced oversight by the Commission. 

For example, 46 U.S.C. 40701(b) 

provides that the Commission may, after 

providing notice and opportunity for a 

hearing, prohibit the publication or use 

of a rate, charge, classification, rule, or 

regulation that a controlled carrier has 

failed to demonstrate is just and 

reasonable. See 46 U.S.C. 40701(b). In 

addition, 46 U.S.C. 40502(f) provides 

that in an action for a breach of a service 

contract, the dispute resolution forum 

cannot in any way be controlled by or 

affiliated with a controlled carrier or by 

the government that owns or controls 

the carrier. See 46 U.S.C. 40502(f). 

Congress enacted these protections to 

ensure that controlled carriers, whose 

marketplace decision making can be 

influenced by foreign governmental 

priorities or by their access to nonmarket sources of capital, do not engage 

in unreasonable below-market pricing 

practices which could disrupt trade or 

harm privately-owned shipping 

companies. 

The controlled carrier list is not a 

comprehensive list of foreign-owned or 

controlled ships or ship owners; rather, 

it is only a list of ocean common carriers 

that are controlled by governments. See 

46 U.S.C. 40102(9). Thus, tramp 

operators and other non-common 

carriers are not included, nor are nonvessel-operating common carriers, 

regardless of their ownership or control. 

The controlled carrier list was last 

updated on April 30, 2019. See 84 FR 

18284. This notice revises the list to add 

Hede (HONGKONG) International 

Shipping Limited as a controlled carrier. 

This notice also revises the list to reflect 

that COSCO Shipping Lines (Europe) 

GmbH is no longer providing common 

carriage in the United States trades and 

is therefore no longer a controlled 

carrier. There are no changes to report 

with respect to the remaining controlled 

carriers. 

It is requested that any other 

information regarding possible 

omissions or inaccuracies in this list be 

provided to the Commission’s Office of 

the General Counsel at generalcounsel@

fmc.gov. See 46 CFR 501.12. 

The amended list of currently 

classified controlled carriers and their 

corresponding Commission-issued 

Registered Persons Index numbers is set 

forth below: 

(1) COSCO SHIPPING Lines Co., Ltd. 

(RPI No. 015614)—People’s Republic of 

China; 

(2) Orient Overseas Container Line 

Limited (RPI No. 011398)—People’s 

Republic of China; 

(3) OOCL (Europe) Limited (RPI No. 

024786)—People’s Republic of China; 

(4) Hede (HONGKONG) International 

Shipping Limited (RPI No. 033332)— 

People’s Republic of China. 

By the Commission.
