FMC updates service fees

FMC updates service fees

   The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has revised its list of service fees, effective April 4.

   These fees cover the filing of petitions and complaints; various public information services, such as record searches, document copying and admissions to practice; filing ocean transportation intermediary license applications; applications for special permission; service contracts; and agreements. In addition, the FMC has established a separate fee for filing terminal exempt agreements.

   The agency said its user fees comply with the White House’s Office of Management and Budget guidelines.
