FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Petition P5-99]


Petition of A.P. Moller-Maersk Line for an Exemption From the 
Notice Requirement of 46 CFR 530.9; Notice of Filing of Petition

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to Section 16 of the Shipping 
Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app. Sec. 1715, A.P. Moller-Maersk Line 
(``Petitioner'') has petitioned for an exemption to the notice 
requirements of 46 CFR 530.9. Petitioner states it soon will acquire 
the international liner business of Sea-Land Service, Inc., and will 
operate under the name A.P. MOLLER-MAERSK SEA-LAND. As a result, 
Petitioner states that approximately 3,000 existing service contracts 
will be affected by the acquisition and name change. Petitioner 
requests an exemption from the requirement to file separate electronic 
notices of assignment for each service contract, and asks instead that 
it be permitted to file a single notice listing all of the service 
contracts that are assigned to it in whole or in part.
    In order for the Commission to make a thorough evaluation of the 
petition for exemption, interested persons are requested to submit 
views or arguments in reply to the petition no later than November 24, 
1999. Replies shall consist of an original and 15 copies, be directed 
to the Secretary, Federal Maritime Commission, Washington, D.C. 20573-
0001, and be served on counsel for Petitioner, Wayne R. Rhode, Esq., 
Sher & Blackwell, 1850 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
    Copies of the petition are available for examination at the Office 
of the Secretary of the Commission, 800 North Capitol Street, N.W., 
Room 1046, Washington, DC.
Bryant L. VanBrakle,
Secretary.
