E6-7942 Filed 5-23-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6730-01-P FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION [Docket No. 06-06] EuroUSA Shipping, Inc., Tober Group, Inc., and Container Innovations, Inc.—Possible Violations of Section 10 of the Shipping Act of 1984 and the Commission's Regulations at 46 CFR 515.27; Order of Investigation and Hearing Euroamerica Group, Inc. (“Euroamerica”) was incorporated in the State of Maryland on May 23, 1994. The President and Qualifying Individual (“QI”) of Euroamerica was Mr. Mark Nash. Euroamerica operated as a licensed non-vessel-operating common carrier (“NVOCC”) until December 2005 when it merged with Deliver USA, Inc. The surviving corporation, EuroUSA Shipping, Inc. (“EuroUSA”), continues to operate as a licensed and tariffed NVOCC. EuroUSA maintains an NVOCC bond in the amount of $75,000. The company's principal place of business is located at 10610 Iron Bridge Road, Unit 6, Jessup, Maryland 20794. Mr. Nash continues to serve as the President and QI of EuroUSA. Based on evidence available to the Commission, it appears that between February 2004 and December 2005, EuroUSA knowingly and willfully accepted cargo from or transported cargo for the account of several ocean transportation intermediaries (“OTIs”) that did not have tariffs and bonds as required by sections 8 and 19 of the Shipping Act of 1984 (“the Act”) and the Commission's regulations at 46 CFR 515.27. Tober Group, Inc. (“Tober”) was incorporated in the State of New York on March 1, 1996. The President and QI of Tober is Mr. Yonatan Benhaim. Tober received a license to operate as an ocean freight forwarder (“OFF”) on July 17, 1996. In 1999, Tober applied for and received a license to operate as an NVOCC. Tober is presently active as a licensed and tariffed NVOCC and OFF with a principal place of business at 185 Randolph Street, Brooklyn, New York 11237. Tober maintains an NVOCC bond in the amount of $75,000 and an OFF bond in the amount of $50,000. Tober publishes its electronic tariff at *http://www.dpiusa.com.* The single commodity covered by this tariff is “Cargo, N.O.S.” and the tariff has not been updated since its original issue on January 7, 2004. The tariff rate for Tober's N.O.S. cargo is $500 per 1,000 kilograms or 1 cubic meter, whichever yields the higher amount. Based on evidence available to the Commission, it appears that between May 2004 and December 2005, Tober knowingly and willfully accepted cargo from or transported cargo for the account of several OTIs that did not have tariffs and bonds as required by sections 8 and 19 of the Act and the Commission's regulations at 46 CFR 515.27. Section 10(b)(2)(A) of the Act states that no common carrier may provide service in the liner trade that is not in accordance with the rates and charges contained in a published tariff. 46 App. U.S.C. 1709(b)(2)(A). It appears that from at least January 2004, Tober has provided liner service to its shippers that was not in accordance with the $500 Cargo, N.O.S. rate published in its electronic tariff. Container Innovations, Inc. (“CI”) was incorporated in the State of New Jersey on March 27, 1985 and is presently located at 123 Pennsylvania Avenue, Kearny, New Jersey 07032. The President and QI of CI is Mr. Angelo J. Carrera. CI has been a licensed NVOCC since September 1999 and maintains an NVOCC bond in the amount of $75,000. Based on evidence available to the Commission, it appears that between September 2004 and March 2006, CI knowingly and willfully accepted cargo from or transported cargo for the account of several OTIs that did not have tariffs and bonds as required by sections 8 and 19 of the Act and the Commission's regulations at 46 CFR 515.27. Section 10(b)(11) of the Act, 46 App. U.S.C. 1709(b)(11), prohibits any common carrier from knowingly and willfully accepting cargo from or transporting cargo for the account of an OTI that does not have a tariff and a bond as required by sections 8 and 19 of the Act. The Commission's regulations at 46 CFR 515.27 affirm this statutory requirement. Any OTI operating as an NVOCC in the United States must provide evidence of financial responsibility in the amount of $75,000. 46 CFR 515.21. Furthermore, section 8(a) of the Act, 46 App. U.S.C. 1707(a), requires NVOCCs to maintain open to public inspection in an automated tariff system, tariffs showing their rates, charges, classifications and practices. Information gathered thus far indicates each of the Respondents provided ocean transportation services to entities known to be operating as unlicensed NVOCCs. A person is subject to a civil penalty of not more than $30,000 for each violation knowingly and willfully committed. 46 CFR part 506. *Now therefore, it is ordered,* That pursuant to section 11(c) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 App. U.S.C. 1710(c), an investigation is instituted to determine:

(1)Whether the Respondents violated section 10(b)(11) of the Shipping Act of 1984 and the Commission's regulations at 46 CFR 515.27 by knowingly and willfully accepting cargo from or transporting cargo for the account of an OTI that did not have a tariff and a bond as required by sections 8 and 19 of the Act;

(2)Whether Respondent Tober violated section 10(b)(2)(A) of the Act by providing service in the liner trade that was not in accordance with the rates and charges contained in a published tariff.

(3)Whether, in the event one or more violations of section 10 of the Act and/or 46 CFR 515.27 are found, civil penalties should be assessed and, if so, the amount of the penalties to be assessed;

(4)Whether, in the event violations are found, appropriate cease and desist orders should be issued; and

(5)Whether, in the event violations are found, such violations constitute grounds for the revocation of any Respondent's OTI license pursuant to 46 CFR 515.16. *It is further ordered* , That a public hearing be held in this proceeding and that this matter be assigned for hearing before an Administrative Law Judge of the Commission's Office of Administrative Law Judges at a date and place to be hereafter determined by the Administrative Law Judge in compliance with Rule 61 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 CFR 502.61. The hearing shall include oral testimony and cross-examination in the discretion of the presiding Administrative Law Judge only after consideration has been given by the parties and the presiding Administrative Law Judge to the use of alternative forms of dispute resolution, and upon a proper showing that there are genuine issues of material fact that cannot be resolved on the basis of sworn statements, affidavits, depositions, or other documents or that the nature of the matters in issue is such that an oral hearing and cross-examination are necessary for the development of an adequate record; *It is further ordered* , That the following corporate entities be designated as Respondents in this proceeding: EuroUSA Shipping, Inc., Tober Group, Inc., and Container Innovations, Inc.; *It is further ordered* , That the Commission's Bureau of Enforcement be designated a party to this proceeding; *It is further ordered* , That notice of this Order be published in the ** Federal Register ** , and a copy be served on the parties of record; *It is further ordered* , That other persons having an interest in participating in this proceeding may file petitions for leave to intervene in accordance with Rule 72 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 CFR 502.72; *It is further ordered* , That all further notices, orders, or decisions issued by or on behalf of the Commission in this proceeding, including notice of the time and place of hearing or prehearing conference, shall be served on parties of record; *It is further ordered* , That all documents submitted by any party of record in this proceeding shall be directed to the Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, Washington, DC 20573, in accordance with Rule 118 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 46 CFR 502.118, and shall be served on parties of record; and *It is further ordered* , That in accordance with Rule 61 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, the initial decision of the Administrative Law Judge shall be issued by May 11, 2007 and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by September 11, 2007.

Proposed Project Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation (OMB No. 0920-0457)—Extension—National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Division of Tuberculosis Elimination

(DTBE)is requesting a 3-year extension of OMB No. 0920-0457, to continue the Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis Program Evaluation. There are no revisions to the report forms, data definitions, or reporting instructions. In order to facilitate the elimination of tuberculosis in the United States, key program activities must continue to be monitored. These key activities include finding tuberculosis infections in recent cases and in other persons likely to be infected and providing therapy for latent tuberculosis infection. In 2000, CDC implemented two program evaluation reports for annual submission: Aggregate Report of Follow-up for Contacts of Tuberculosis and Aggregate Report of Screening and Preventive Therapy for Tuberculosis Infection. The respondents for the reports are the 68 state and local tuberculosis control programs receiving federal cooperative agreement funding through DTBE. The reports emphasize treatment outcomes, high-priority target populations vulnerable to tuberculosis, programmed electronic report entry and submission through the Tuberculosis Information Management System (TIMS). CDC is the only federal agency collecting this type of national tuberculosis data. These reports are the only data sources about latent tuberculosis infection for monitoring national progress toward tuberculosis elimination. CDC provides ongoing assistance in the preparation and utilization of these reports at the local and state levels of public health. CDC also provides respondents with technical support for the TIMS software. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.

You may review the Department of Transportation's Privacy Act Statement in the **Federal Register** published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477), or you may visit *http://dms.dot.gov.* Background Preparation of the EA is being conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332(C) and its implementing regulations at Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1500. USCGC STORIS (WMEC-38) was constructed in 1942 for patrol along Greenland's waters during WWII and was the first U.S. registered vessel to circumnavigate the North American continent. The USCGC ACUSHNET (WMEC-167) was commissioned in Napa, California, on February 5, 1943, as the Fleet Rescue and Salvage Vessel USS SHACKLE (ARS-9). The USS SHACKLE (ARS-9) served for two years as a U.S. Navy vessel in defense of the United States, earning three battle stars. The USS SHACKLE's (ARS-9) first station was at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, serving as a salvage ship in the West Pacific for the remainder of World War II. On August 23, 1946, the USS SHACKLE (ARS-9) was commissioned into the USCG as USCGC ACUSHNET (WAT-167). USCGC ACUSHNET (WMEC-167) is the second oldest medium endurance vessel in the fleet (the oldest being the USCGC STORIS (WMEC-38)). After more than 60 years of continuous service, USCGC STORIS (WMEC-38) and USCGC ACUSHNET (WMEC-167) have become increasingly costly to support. Excessive maintenance problems stemming from the age of the vessels result in reduced reliability and increased operating costs. The vessels have reached the end of their service lives. The USCG intends to decommission and then to report both vessels as excess personal property to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), an independent Federal agency responsible for property management and utilization government-wide. Ultimately, the vessels may be disposed through either the GSA personal property disposal process or another statutorily authorized personal property disposal process. Possible disposal outcomes include, but are not limited to, transfer of one or both vessels to another Federal agency, conveyance to a State or local government or other non-Federal entity, transfer to a foreign government, or scrapping. The EA will address the potential environmental impacts of the vessels' decommissioning and disposal. The EA will consider the various alternatives to the proposed action, including but not limited to, keeping the vessels in a commissioned status ( *i.e.* , the “no action” alternative) or disposal of the vessels through the GSA or other disposal process. The EA will also address potential impacts of connected actions, including replacement of the USCGC STORIS (WMEC-38) and USCGC ACUSHNET (WMEC-167). You can address any questions about the proposed action or the EA to the USCG representative identified in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . After receiving public comments, the USCG will prepare an EA and we will publish a **Federal Register** notice announcing its public availability. (If you want that notice to be sent to you, please contact the USCG representative identified in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT .) You will have an opportunity to review and comment on the EA.

(ICR)abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. TSA published a **Federal Register** notice, with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following collection of information on January 11, 2006, 71 FR 1763. DATES: Send your comments by June 23, 2006. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication. ADDRESSES: Comments may be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attention: DHS-TSA Desk Officer, at

(571)227-1381. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information, unless it displays a valid OMB control number. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to—

(1)Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2)Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;

(3)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Information Collection Requirement *Title:* TSA Claims Management System. *Type of Request:* New collection. *OMB Control Number:* Not yet assigned. *Form(s):* Supplemental Information Form, Payment Form. *Affected Public:* Members of the traveling public who believe they have experienced property loss or damage, a personal injury, or other damages due to the negligence or wrongful act or omission of a TSA employee, and decide to file a Federal tort claim against TSA. *Abstract:* TSA needs to collect certain information, in addition to that collected on the Standard Form 95, from claimants in order to investigate claims properly. TSA is seeking approval for its two supplemental forms, as well as the electronic claims management system currently in development, which will ease the burden on claimants and streamline the claims process. TSA will use the data collected from claimants to investigate and analyze tort claims against the agency to determine alleged TSA liability and to reimburse claimants when claims are approved. For more information, please see TSA's Claims Management Office Internet Web site at *http://www.tsaclaims.org.* *Number of Respondents:* 24,000. The number of respondents (28,800) TSA estimated in its January 11 notice was a high estimate and, after further evaluation, TSA believes this figure is a much closer estimate. *Estimated Annual Burden Hours:* 6,400. In light of the reduction in the number of estimated annual respondents, TSA has also made a corresponding reduction in the estimated annual burden hours reported in its January 11 notice.
