Title: Maritime Administration’s
Panama Canal Expansion Study
Outreach Program.
OMB Control Number: 2133–NEW.
Type of Request: New Information
Collection.
Affected Public: Federal Government;
State, Local, or Tribal Governments;
Shippers; Maritime Related
Organizations and Associations; Local
Municipal Planning Organizations; Rail
and Land Transportation Companies.
Forms: Shipper Survey.
Abstract: This three-tiered
information collection process will
directly support the Maritime
Administration’s efforts to evaluate and
assess the impacts of the Panama Canal
Expansion on U.S. Ports and
infrastructure when the expansion of
the Panama Canal is completed in 2014.
First, as part of its Panama Canal
Outreach Program, the Maritime
Administration will conduct one public
Listening Session to provide a forum for
stakeholders to present their views on
the issues that the Maritime
Administration should consider in the
development of the Panama Canal
Expansion Study, and to assess the
various infrastructure requirements that
will be associated with future trade
involving the Panama Canal. Second,
the Maritime Administration will
conduct one-on-one interviews with key
executives from various U.S. ports, port
operators, and transportation service
providers to identify their specific
plans, investment strategies, and
perspectives concerning market trends,
which are a critical part of the subject
Study. Finally, the Maritime
Administration will conduct an on-line
Panama Canal Shipper Survey in an
effort to garner information regarding
the current decision processes used by
‘‘Beneficial Cargo Owners’’ (i.e.,
international shippers) to determine
potential changes to their logistics,
networks and the contingency plans that
have been developed (or will be
developed) to address the potential
impacts on their costs and routing
strategies as a result of the expansion
project.
Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 606.
