Information Collection Open for Comment
Title: Container vessel imports and exports.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0074.
Form Number: Not applicable.
Request Type: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA 2022)
mandates that: ``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. To comply with this quarterly reporting requirement the
Commission 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.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will use collected data to publish a
quarterly report as directed by 46 U.S.C. 41110.
Respondents: The thirty (30) largest vessel-operating common
carriers by containerized cargo volume transporting 20-foot equivalent
units (total across imports and exports, regardless of whether they are
laden) in or out of the United States in ocean borne foreign commerce.
(The Commission estimates that these thirty (30) largest carriers are
responsible for transporting 98 percent of the market share of
containerized freight moving in international commerce to and from the
United States.)
Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 30.
Estimated Time per Response: 6 hours and 40 minutes.
Frequency: Information will be collected monthly.
Total Annual Burden: 2,401 hours.
For the Commission.
David Eng,
Secretary.
