    Served: August 24, 2020.
        Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal
    Maritime Commission (Commission) by the Intermodal Motor Carriers
    Conference (IMCC) of the American Trucking Associations, Inc. (ATA),
    hereinafter ``Complainant'', against the Ocean Carrier Equipment
    Management Association Inc. (OCEMA), Consolidated Chassis Management,
    LLC (CCM), CMA CGM S.A., COSCO SHIPPING Lines Co. Ltd., Evergreen Line
    Joint Service Agreement, (FMC No. 011982), Hapag-Lloyd AG, HMM Co.
    Ltd., Maersk A/S, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., Ocean
    Network Express Pte. Ltd., Wan Hai Lines Ltd., Yang Ming Marine
    Transport Corp., and Zim Integrated Shipping Services, hereinafter

    [[Page 53370]]

    Complainant states they are ``a conference of the American Trucking
    Associations, Inc.'' and ``include ATA member companies engaged in
    intermodal transportation of property, including the interchange of
    chassis with respect to receipt and return of the containers of
    respondent ocean carriers.'' Complainants state that Respondents
    include: OCEMA, ``an association of major U.S. and foreign flag
    international common carriers; CCM, that operates a ``chassis provision
    model'' for members; and those ocean carriers and a carrier agreement,
    named in the case caption, which are each members of OCEMA and/or CCM.
        Complainant alleges that Respondents ``have adopted and imposed
    unjust and unreasonable regulations and engaged in unjust and
    unreasonable practices by requiring the use of OCEMA member default
    chassis providers, and denying motor carriers their right to select the
    chassis provider for merchant haulage movements, all in violation of 46
    U.S.C. 41102(c).'' Complainant seeks cease and desist orders and other
    relief.
        The full text of the complaint can be found in the Commission's
    Electronic Reading Room at https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/20-14/.
        This proceeding has been assigned to Office of Administrative Law
    Judges. The initial decision of the presiding office in this proceeding
    shall be issued by August 24, 2021, and the final decision of the
    Commission shall be issued by March 10, 2022.
