FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 94-05]

 

Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

    Maritrend, Inc. v. the Galveston Wharves, the Board of Trustees 
of the Galveston Wharves, John G. Unbehagen, W.H. (``BB'') Nelson, 
Harry Brown, Louis Pauls, Jr., Rudy Teichman and Doug J. Marchand.

    Notice is given that a complaint filed by Maritrend, Inc. 
(``Complainant'') against The Galveston Wharves, The Board of Trustees 
of the Galveston Wharves, John G. Unbehagen, W.H. (``BB'') Nelson, 
Harry Brown, Louis Pauls, Jr., Rudy Teichman and Doug J. Marchand 
(``Respondents'') was served March 8, 1994. Complainant alleges that 
Respondents have violated section 16 First of the Shipping Act of 1916, 
46 U.S.C. app. 815, and section 10 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 
U.S.C. app. 1709, by denying, and conspiring to deny, Complainant a 
Stevedore license because of Complainant's non-union status. 
Complainant also seeks a ruling regarding Commission jurisdiction.
    This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of Administrative 
Law Judges. Hearing in this matter, if any is held, shall commence 
within the time limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61, and only after 
consideration has been given by the parties and the presiding officer 
to the use of alternative forms of dispute resolution. The hearing 
shall include oral testimony and cross-examination in the discretion of 
the Presiding Officer only upon 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 matter in issue is such that an oral hearing and cross-
examination are necessary for the development of an adequate record. 
Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR 502.61, the initial decision of 
the Presiding Officer in this proceeding shall be issued by March 8, 
1995, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by July 
6, 1995.
Joseph C. Polking,
Secretary.
