Information obtained under 46 CFR 515 and through Form FMC-18 is used to determine the qualifications of ocean transportation intermediaries (OTIs) and their compliance with shipping statutes and regulations and to enable the FMC to discharge its duties under the Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, by ensuring that OTIs maintain acceptable evidence of financial responsibility. The types of respondents are persons desiring to obtain a license to act as an OTI; under the Act, OTIs may be either an ocean freight forwarder, a non-vessel-operating common carrier, or both.
