American President Lines, LTD.; Notice of Application for Waiver 
of Section 804(a) of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as Amended

    American President Lines, Ltd. (APL), by application of June 9, 
1994, requests a waiver of the provisions of section 804(a) of the 
Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended (Act), so as to permit APL to use 
space on vessels operated by Transportacion Maritima Mexicana, S.A. de 
C.V. (TMM) for the carriage of cargoes in U.S. foreign trade.
    APL has recently entered into a slot charter agreement with TMM in 
foreign-to-foreign trade between Asia and Mexico. TMM's ships in 
transpacific service provide weekly service on an itinerary Manzanillo, 
Lazaro Cardenas, Long Beach, Yokohama, Kobe, Hong Kong, Kao-hsiung, 
Pusan, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, San Pedro, Ensenada, Manzanillo.
    APL requests the section 804 waiver to allow APL to use a portion 
of its space on the TMM vessels under the aforementioned agreement to 
accommodate overflow cargoes, which APL experiences from time to time, 
to carry these cargoes between foreign ports and U.S. ports. APL states 
that its request is limited in scope--it would not advertise TMM's 
sailings for U.S. foreign trade cargo, and APL anticipates that such 
cargoes on TMM would not exceed 50 FEU per week, on an annual average.
    This application may be inspected in the Office of the Secretary, 
Maritime Administration. Any person, firm, or corporation having any 
interest in such request within the meaning of section 804 of the Act 
and desiring to submit comments concerning the application must file 
written comments in triplicate with the Secretary, Maritime 
Administration, Room 7300, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20590. Comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. 
on July 7, 1994. This notice is published as a matter of discretion and 
publication should in no way be considered a favorable or unfavorable 
decision on the application, as filed or as may be amended. The 
Maritime Administrator will consider any comments submitted and take 
such action with respect thereto as may be deemed appropriate.
