Abstract: Sec. 9 of the Shipping Act of 1984 requires that the FMC monitor the practices of controlled carriers to ensure that they do not maintain rates or charges in their tariffs and service contracts that are below a level that is just and reasonable; nor establish, maintain or enforce unjust or unreasonable classifications, rules or regulations in those tariffs or service contracts which result or are likely to result in the carriage or handling of cargo at rates or charges that are below a just and reasonable level. 46 CFR Part 565 establishes the method by which the FMC determines whether a particular ocean common carrier is a controlled carrier subject to sec. 9 of the Shipping Act. When a government acquires a controlling interest in an ocean common carrier, or when a controlled carrier newly enters a US trade, the FMC's rules require that such a carrier notify the FMC of these events. The respondents to this information collection are ocean common carriers.
