FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Petition No. P4-18]


Notice of Filing and Request for Comments; Petition of Dole Ocean 
Cargo Express Inc. for an Exemption

    Notice is hereby given that Dole Ocean Cargo Express Inc. 
(``Petitioner'') has petitioned the Commission pursuant to 46 CFR 
502.94 ``. . . for relief from provisions of 46 CFR 530.10 relating to 
the filing of individual service contract amendments.'' Petitioner 
states it is an ocean common carrier. ``As part of an internal 
corporate restructuring, on or about November 1, 2018, the assets of 
[the Petitioner] will be transferred to a new limited liability 
company, Dole Ocean Cargo Express, LLC.'' Petitioner states that 
``among the assets being transferred are . . . service contracts with 
its customers, which will be assigned to Dole Ocean Cargo Express, 
LLC.'' Petitioner states that the transfer ``. . . in accordance with 
the terms of those contracts and the applicable contract law, would 
require the filing with the FMC of an amendment to each service 
contract.'' Petitioner alleges that ``[i]t would be an undue burden on 
[Petitioner] to prepare and file an individual amendment for each of 
these service contracts.''
    In order for the Commission to make a thorough evaluation of the 
requested exemption and rulemaking presented in the Petition, pursuant 
to 46 CCFR 502.92, interested parties are requested to submit views or 
arguments in reply to the Petition no later than October 2, 2018. 
Replies shall be sent to the Secretary by email to [email protected] or 
by mail to Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20573-0001, and replies shall be served on Petitioner's 
counsel, Wayne R. Rohde, Cozen O' Connor, 1200 19th St. NW, Suite 300, 
Washington, DC 20036, [email protected].
    Non-confidential filings may be submitted in hard copy to the 
Secretary at the above address or by email as a PDF attachment to 
[email protected] and include in the subject line: P4-18 (Commenter/
Company). Confidential filings should not be filed by email. A 
confidential filing must be filed with the Secretary in hard copy only, 
and be accompanied by a transmittal letter that identifies the filing 
as ``Confidential-Restricted'' and describes the nature and extent of 
the confidential treatment requested. The Commission will provide 
confidential treatment to the extent allowed by law for confidential 
submissions, or parts of submissions, for which confidentiality has 
been requested. When a confidential filing is submitted, there must 
also be submitted a public version of the filing. Such public filing 
version shall exclude confidential materials, and shall indicate on the 
cover page and on each affected page ``Confidential materials 
excluded.'' Public versions of confidential filings may be submitted by 
email. The Petition will be posted on the Commission's website at 
http://www.fmc.gov/P4-18. Replies filed in response to the Petition 
will also be posted on the Commission's website at this location.
