   The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has received five ocean transportation intermediary license applications and changes for review.
   The FMC received a non-vessel-operating common carrier license application from CFR Rinkens, Paramount, Calif. (Maximiliaan Hoes, manager).
   The agency also received NVO/ocean freight forwarder license applications from Sig Global, Gardena, Calif. (James J. Oh, president); Super You Global, Palo Alto, Calif. (Hu Wang, chief executive officer); and Windstream International, South El Monte, Calif. (Jeff C. Chang, chief executive officer).  
   In addition, the agency received an application for a change to a qualifying individual from Javelin Logistics Corp., Newark, Calif. (Susan M. Foster, international services). 
   Persons knowing of any reason why an applicant should not receive an OTI license or amendment are urged to contact the FMC’s Office of Transportation Intermediaries in Washington, D.C., at (202) 523-5843. Lists of licensed OTIs (applications approved, bonds in place and fully licensed) — both ocean freight forwarders and NVOs — are also available on the FMC Website.
