SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 26, 2024, in accordance with the
Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022, the Federal Maritime Commission
published the final rule, ``Demurrage and Detention Billing
Requirements'' that requires common carriers and marine terminal
operators to include specific minimum information on demurrage and
detention invoices, outlines certain detention and demurrage billing
practices, and sets timeframes for insuring invoices, disputing charges
with the billing party, and resolving disputes.
The final rule contained two provisions, 46 CFR 541.6 and 541.99,
that were delayed indefinitely, pending information collection approval
from OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520. On April 16, 2024, OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, approved the information collection requirements with OMB
Control Number 3072-0073.\1\ Accordingly, FMC announces that 46 CFR
541.6 and 541.99 are effective May 28, 2024.
