The Federal Maritime Commission has announced its submission of an ongoing information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget for approval. This request concerns the regulation of "controlled carriers," or ocean carriers owned by foreign governments, to ensure they do not set unfair rates or rules. The Commission invites public comments on the necessity and effectiveness of this information collection by April 23, 2025. Responses can be submitted online, and the public’s input will be considered for the Commission's request for approval.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Maritime Commission wants people to share their thoughts about rules that check if ocean ships owned by other countries are fair with their prices. They want to know if these rules are helpful, and people have until April 23, 2025, to say what they think.
