FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 95-05]


Great Eastern Shipping, Inc. and Nordstar Line v. Vladimir 
Pisarenko and Spark International Trading, Inc.; Notice of Filing of 
Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint filed by Great Eastern Shipping, 
Inc. and Nordstar line (``Complainants'') against Vladimir Pisarenko 
and Spark International Trading, Inc. (``Respondents'') was served 
March 10, [[Page 15568]] 1995. Complainants allege that Respondents, 
jointly and severally have violated section 10(a)(1) of the Shipping 
Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app. Sec. 1709(a)(1) by knowingly and willfully 
and fraudulently attempting to obtain, by means of a false 
classification and/or by other unjust and unfair means, ocean 
transportation of cargo of less than the rate and charges otherwise 
applicable.
    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 20, 
1996, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by June 
20, 1996.
Joseph C. Polking,
Secretary.
