FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 96-02]


World Class Freight Inc. v. Worldlink Logistics, Inc. and 
Worldlink International; Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint filed by World Class Freight Inc. 
(``Complainant'') against Worldlink Logistics, Inc. and Worldlink 
International (``Respondents'') was served January 26, 1996. 
Complainant alleges that the Respondents have violated sections 
8(a)(1), and 10(b)(1), (10, (11) and (12) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 
46 U.S.C. app. Secs. 1707(a)(1) and 1709(b)(1), (10), (11) and (12), by 
having no tariff rate on file for a 40' container shipped CY/CY from 
Singapore to Los Angeles, demanding additional untariffed freight 
charges at destination in order to release the container, and seeking 
excessive freight charges from Respondents while not doing so from 
other shippers.
    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 January 27, 
1997, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by May 
27, 1997.
Joseph C. Polking,
Secretary.
