Lines, Limited (‘‘Complainant’’) against 

Value Imports, Inc. (‘‘Respondent’’). 

Complainant is an ocean common 

carrier under the Shipping Act of 1984, 

as amended (‘‘the Act’’). Respondent, an 

importer, was the beneficial owner of 

cargo discharged at Total Terminals Inc. 

(‘‘TTI’’) a marine terminal operator at 

the Port of Long Beach, California. 

Complainant alleges that demurrage 

accrued on the cargo pursuant to its 

tariff resulting in a possessory maritime 

lien, permitting it to hold the cargo until 

all charges, including demurrage, were 

paid. Complainant contends that 

Respondent entered bank information 

and payment instructions at TTI’s 

internet Web site and that TTI, as agent 

for Complainant, accepted the payment 

information and released the cargo to 

Respondent. Complainant asserts the 

bank designated by Respondent refused 

to pay because of insufficient funds on 

deposit. Complainant further contends 

that these alleged activities violate 

section 10(a)(1) of the Act in that 

Respondent knowingly and willfully 

obtained ocean transportation for 

property at less than the rates or charges 

that would otherwise be applicable. 

Complainant prays that Respondent be 

required to answer the charges herein; 

that after due hearing, an order be made 

commanding Respondent to cease and 

desist from the aforesaid violation of the 

Act; to pay to Complainant by way of 

reparations for the unlawful conduct 

described the sum of $75,140 with 

interest and attorney’s fees, and any 

other sums and further orders as the 

Commission may determine to be 

proper. 

This proceeding has been assigned to 

the Office of Administrative Law Judges. 

Hearing in this matter, if any is held, 

shall commence within the time 

limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61, 

and only after consideration has been 

given by the parties and the presiding 

officer to the use of alternative forms of 

dispute resolution. The hearing shall 

include oral testimony and crossexamination in the discretion of the 

presiding officer only upon proper 

showing that there are genuine issues of 

material fact that cannot be resolved on 

the basis of sworn statements, affidavits, 

depositions, or other documents or that 

the nature of the matter in issue is such 

that an oral hearing and crossexamination are necessary for the 

development of an adequate record. 

Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR 

502.61, the initial decision of the 

presiding officer in this proceeding shall 

be issued by October 6, 2006, and the 

final decision of the Commission shall 

be issued by February 8, 2007. 

Bryant L. VanBrakle, 

Secretary.

(PET) for Dementia and 

Neurodegenerative Diseases (DND) (PET 

DND), HHS/CMS/OCSQ, System No. 

09–70–0561.’’ National Coverage 

Determinations are determinations by 

the Secretary (HHS) with respect to 

whether or not a particular item or 

service is covered nationally under Title 

XVIII of the Social Security Act (the 

Act) section 1869(f)(1)(B). In order to be 

covered by Medicare, an item or service 

must fall within one or more benefit 

categories contained in Part A or Part B, 

and must not be otherwise excluded 

from coverage. 

In our review of DND indications, we 

found sufficient evidence to determine 

that PET scans are no longer 

experimental. However, the evidence 

was insufficient to reach a conclusion 

that FDG PET is reasonable and 

necessary in all instances. A sufficient 

inference of benefit, however, can be 

drawn to support limited coverage if 

certain safeguards for patients are 

provided. This inference is based on 

both the physiological basis for FDG 

PET usefulness in a differential 

diagnosis of fronto-temporal dementia 

(FTD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), as 

well as, evidence of a positive benefit of 

PET for patients with several other 

dementing neurodegenerative diseases 

for which there is evidence of sufficient 

quality to warrant coverage. 

The purpose of this system is to 

collect and maintain information on 

Medicare beneficiaries receiving FDG 

PET scans for indications for DND when 

there is not sufficient evidence to reach 

a firm conclusion that the scan is 

reasonable and necessary unless they 

are enrolled in an approved study. 

Information retrieved from this system 

will be disclosed to: (1) Support 

regulatory, reimbursement, and policy 

functions performed within the agency 

or by a contractor or consultant; (2) 

assist another Federal or state agency 

with information to enable such agency 

to administer a Federal health benefits 

program, or to enable such agency to 

fulfill a requirement of Federal statute 

or regulation that implements a health 

benefits program funded in whole or in 

part with Federal funds; (3) support an 

individual or organization for a research 

project or in support of an evaluation 

project related to the prevention of 

disease or disability, the restoration or 

maintenance of health, or payment 

related projects; (4) support constituent 

requests made to a Congressional 

representative; (5) support litigation 

involving the agency; and (6) combat 

fraud and abuse in certain health 

benefits programs. We have provided 

background information about the new 

system in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section below. Although 

the Privacy Act requires only that CMS 

provide an opportunity for interested 

persons to comment on the proposed 

routine uses, CMS invites comments on
