Abstract: The Commission intends to revise Form FMC-18, Application for a License as an Ocean Transportation Intermediary. Specifically, language is being added to the Privacy Act Notice regarding voluntary disclosure of the applicant's Social Security Number, and the System of Records citation is being updated. In the PRA Notice, the estimated time to prepare an Application is being revised from 1.5 to 2 hours per response. Throughout the Application, any reference to the Bureau of Consumer Complaints and Licensing has been changed to the Bureau of Certification and Licensing. Also, language has been added to Question 7(2) in Part B, and to Question 13(3) in Part D, allowing applicant or its qualifying individual to disclose whether he/she has "been declared bankrupt, been subject to a tax lien, or had legal judgment rendered for a debt." In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, this would allow the agency to the greatest extent practicable, to collect information about an applicant that may be used in making a decision with respect to the granting of an OTI license, directly from the applicant. The types of respondents are persons desiring to obtain a license to act as an OTI; under the Act, OTIs may be either an ocean freight forwarder, a non-vessel-operating common carrier, or both.
