FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Petition No. P5-15]
Petition of Pacific International Lines and Mariana Express Lines
for an Exemption From Commission Regulations; Notice of Filing and
Request for Comments
This is to provide notice of filing and to invite comments on or
before November 13, 2015, with regard to the Petition described below.
Pacific International Lines (Private) Limited (PIL) and Mariana
Express Lines Pte. Ltd. (MELL) (Petitioners), have petitioned the
Commission pursuant to 46 CFR 502.74, for an exemption ``equivalent to
that contained in 46 CFR 535.307.'' The Commission's regulations at 46
CFR 535.307 exempt agreements between or among wholly owned
subsidiaries from the filing requirements of the Shipping Act.
Specifically, Petitioners state that on March 11, 2015, PIL acquired
sixty-five (65%) percent of the shares of MELL. Petitioners assert that
FMC law and regulations would likely require PIL and MELL to file a
number of agreements between themselves with the FMC, delay and what
should be routine day-to-day decisions between a parent and its
subsidiary.
The Petition in its entirety will be posted on the Commission's Web
site at http://www.fmc.gov/p5-15. Comments filed in response to this
Petition also will be posted on the Commission's Web site at this
location.
In order for the Commission to make a thorough evaluation of the
Petition, interested persons are requested to submit views or arguments
in reply to the Petition no later than November 13, 2015. Commenters
must send an original and 5 copies to the Secretary, Federal Maritime
Commission, 800 North Capitol Street NW., Washington, DC 20573-0001,
and be served on Petitioner's counsel, Neal M. Mayer, Hoppel, Mayer &
Coleman, 1050 Connecticut Avenue NW., 10th Floor, Washington, DC 20036.
A text-searchable PDF copy of the reply must also be sent as an
attachment to [email protected] and include in the subject line: ``P5-
15, PIL and MELL Petition.'' Replies containing confidential
information should not be submitted by email.
Karen V. Gregory,
Secretary.
