   The agency received NVO/ocean freight forwarder license applications from All Express Cargo, Miami (Tibisay Tovar, member); Global Parcel System, Miami (Alejandro Alvarez, managing member); Menn Logistics, Kirkland, Wash. (Anna Nickolaychuk, president); and Sea Marine Transport, Houston (Moises Sarabia Leon, manager).

   In addition, the agency received applications for a change to qualifying individuals from Brookfield Relocation, Shelton, Conn. (Susan Dumire, assistant vice president); and Graylion Logistics, Jacksonville, Fla. (Glenn R. Patch, president); for a trade name addition from Covenant Global Logistics, Houston (Mabel G. Gold, president) for CGL Shipping; and for a business structure change from Innocent Peter Ajaroh, Houston (Innocent L. Emedo, managing member) to Innglo Global Shipping.
   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 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.
