FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 94-08]

 

Great White Fleet, Ltd. v. Southeastern Paper Products Export, 
Inc.; Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint filed by Great White Fleet, Ltd. 
(``Complainant'') against Southeastern Paper Products Export, Inc. 
(``Respondent'') was served April 11, 1994. Complainant alleges that 
Respondent violated section 10(a)(1) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 
U.S.C. app. 1709(a)(1), by refusing to pay lawful freight charges on 
two shipments of tissue paper from Gulfport, Mississippi to Puerto 
Limon, Coast Rica and making a post-shipment proposal to apply tariff 
rates only to subsequent shipments. Complainant requests that the 
proceeding be conducted pursuant to the shortened procedure contained 
in Subpart K of the Commission's rules, 46 CFR 502.181 et seq.
    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 April 10, 
1995, and the final decisions of the Commission shall be issued by 
August 8, 1995.
Joseph C. Polking,
Secretary.
