SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Requests for Comments

    Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), 
the Commission invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
comment on proposed information collections. On September 3, 2015, the 
Commission published a notice and request for comments in the Federal 
Register (80 FR 53310) regarding the agency's request for an approval 
from OMB for a new information collection as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. The Commission received no comments on the 
request for OMB clearance. The Commission has submitted the described 
information collection to OMB for approval. The FMC solicits written 
comments from all interested persons about the proposed new collection 
of information. The Commission specifically solicits information 
relevant to the following topics: (1) Whether the collection of 
information described above is necessary for the proper performance of 
the Commission's functions, including whether the information would 
have practical utility; (2) whether the estimated burden of the 
proposed collection of information is accurate; (3) whether the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could 
be enhanced; and (4) whether the burden imposed by the collection of 
information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic, or 
other forms of information technology.

Information Collection Open for Comment

    Title: Request for Dispute Resolution Service.
    OMB Control Number: New.
    Type of Review: New Generic Information Collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Companies or individuals seeking 
ombuds or mediation assistance from the Federal Maritime Commission's 
Office of Consumer Affairs and Dispute Resolution Services (CADRS).
    Estimated Total Number of Potential Annual Responses: 1,000.
    Estimated Total Number of Responses for each Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours per Response: 20 minutes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 333.
    Abstract: As requested by the shipping public and the regulated 
industry, the FMC, through CADRS, provides ombuds and mediation 
services to assist parties in resolving international ocean cargo 
shipping or passenger vessel (cruise) disputes without resorting to 
litigation or administrative adjudication. These functions focus on 
addressing issues that members of the regulated industry and the 
shipping public may encounter at any stage of a commercial or customer 
dispute. In order to provide its ombuds and mediation services, CADRS 
needs certain identifying information about the involved parties, 
shipments, and nature of the dispute. In response to requests for 
assistance from the public, CADRS requests this information from 
parties seeking its assistance. The collection and use of this 
information on a cargo or cruise dispute is integral to CADRS staff's 
ability to efficiently review the matter and provide assistance. 
Aggregated information may be used for statistical purposes. Currently, 
this information is collected in a non-uniform manner in response to 
requests for CADRS assistance. http://www.fmc.gov/resources/requesting_cadrs_assistance.aspx.
    As required by the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act (ADRA), 5 
U.S.C. 571-574, the information contained in these forms is treated as 
confidential and subject to the same confidentiality provisions as 
administrative dispute resolutions pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 574. Except as 
specifically set forth in 5 U.S.C. 574, neither CADRS staff nor the 
parties to a dispute resolution shall disclose any informal dispute 
resolution communication.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. The FMC may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is not 
required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved 
by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control 
Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no 
person shall be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a 
collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. 
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.

    Authority: 46 U.S.C. 40101 et seq.

Rachel Dickon,
Assistant Secretary.
