Trade Net, Inc. v. Cho Yang Shipping Co., LTD.; Notice of Filing 
of Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint filed by Trade Net, Inc. 
(``Complainant'') against Cho Yang Shipping Co., Ltd. (``Respondent'') 
was served December 19, 1997. Complainant alleges that Respondent has 
violated section 8(c) of the Shipping Act of 1984 (``the Act''), 46 
U.S.C. app. Sec. 1707, by failing and refusing to make available the 
essential terms of a service contract to Complainant, a similarly 
situated shipper, on the same basis as they have been made applicable 
to the original contract shipper.
    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 in 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 December 
21, 1998, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by 
April 20, 1999.
Ronald D. Murphy,
Assistant Secretary.
