FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Petition P3-99]


Petition of China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company for a Partial 
Exemption From the Controlled Carrier Act; Extension of Time

    On April 8, 1999, the Commission published notice of the filing of 
a petition by China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO) seeking a partial 
exemption from the controlled carrier provisions of the Shipping Act of 
1984, as amended. (64 FR 17181) Replies to the COSCO petition are due 
on May 7, 1999. Sea-Land Service, Inc. and American President Lines, 
Ltd., seek a 90-day extension of the comment period. COSCO opposes the 
requested extension.
    Due to the press of other business, there will be some delay before 
the Commission considers the petition; thus, there appears to be no 
valid reason to deny a reasonable extension. Accordingly, the date set 
for replies to this proceeding is extended to July 6, 1999.
    Replies shall consist of an original and 15 copies, be directed to 
the Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, Washington, D.C. 20573-
0001, and be served on counsel for Petitioner, Richard D. Gluck, Esq., 
Garvey, Schubert & Barer, 1000 Potomac Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20007.
     Copies of the petition are available for examination at the 
Washington, D.C. office of the Secretary of the Commission, 800 North 
Capitol Street, N.W., Room 1046.
Bryant L. VanBrakle,
Secretary.
