Section 16 of the Shipping Act of
1984, 46 U.S.C. 40103, authorizes the Federal Maritime Commission
to exempt by rule “any class of agreements between persons subject
to this Act or any specified activity of those persons from any
requirement of this Act if it finds that the exemption will not
result in substantial reduction in competition or be detrimental to
commerce. The Commission may attach conditions to any exemption and
may, by order, revoke any exemption.” The Commission added 46 CFR
531 in January 2005 to exempt non-vessel-operating common carriers
(NVOCCs) from the otherwise applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements of the Shipping Act and the Commission’s tariff
regulations for service arrangements they reach with their
shippers. The exemption is conditioned upon the filing of these
service arrangements by the NVOCC offering the service. These
regulations also ensure compliance with the licensing and financial
responsibility requirements of the Shipping Act, 46 U.S.C.
40901-40904.
Any changes to burdens are due
to changes in agency estimates of number of annual
respondents.
