Title: Container vessel imports and exports.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-XXXX.
Abstract: The Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA 2022)
includes the following language, ``The Federal Maritime Commission
shall publish on its website a calendar quarterly report that describes
the total import and export tonnage and the total loaded and empty 20-
foot equivalent units per vessel (making port in the United States,
including any territory or possession of the United States) operated by
each ocean common carrier covered under this chapter. Ocean common
carriers under this chapter shall provide to the Commission all
necessary information, as determined by the Commission, for completion
of this report.'' 46 U.S.C. 41110. The FMC will request information on
tonnage and 20-foot equivalent units from each identified common
carrier on a monthly basis. The information will be used to compile and
publish a quarterly report on total import and export tonnage and total
loaded and empty 20-foot equivalent units per vessel operated by common
carriers. The universe will be carriers that transport 1,500 or more
20-foot equivalent units per month (total across imports and exports,
regardless of whether they are laden or empty) in or out of U.S. ports
in international common carriage. The Commission estimates that
approximately 70 of the 154 currently registered vessel-operating
common carriers transport 1,500 or more 20-foot equivalent units per
month, totaling over 99 percent of imported and exported containerized
cargo.
Current Actions: This information being submitted contains a new
data collection.
Type of Review: New data collection.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will use collected data to publish a
quarterly report as directed by OSRA 2022.
Frequency: This information will be collected monthly.
Type of Respondents: The universe will be carriers who transport
1,500 20-foot equivalent units or more per month (total across imports
and exports, regardless of whether they are laden) in or out of the
U.S. in international common carriage.
Number of Annual Respondents: The Commission estimates an annual
respondent universe of 70. The Commission expects the estimated number
of annual respondents to remain at 70 in the future.
Estimated Time Per Response: The time per response is estimated at
80 person-hours for reporting.
Total Annual Burden: For the 70 annual respondents, the burden is
calculated as 70 x 80 hours = 5,600 hours.
William Cody,
Secretary.
