FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Petition No. P1-22]


Petition of Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. for a 
Temporary Exemption From the Statutory Tariff Publication Requirements; 
Notice of Filing and Request for Comments

Served: February 25, 2022.
    Notice is hereby given that Expeditors International of Washington, 
Inc., (``Petitioner'') has petitioned the Commission pursuant to 46 
U.S.C. 40103 and 46 CFR 502.92 requesting a 90-day ``exemption from the 
statutory tariff publication requirements at 46 U.S.C. 40501 and the 
corresponding FMC regulations at 46 CFR 520.7(c), 520.8(a)(1) and 
520.8(a)(4) . . . .'' Petitioner states that it is a non-vessel-
operating common carrier (NVOCC) and that the exemption would ``allow 
time for it to cope with the consequences of a targeted cyber-attack 
that caused it to shut down most of its operating systems globally in 
protection of its systems, including its ability to access and update 
its electronic ocean transportation rate tariffs''.
    In order for the Commission to make a thorough evaluation of the 
requested exemption and rulemaking presented in the Petition, pursuant 
to 46 CFR 502.92, interested parties are requested to submit views or 
arguments in reply to the Petition no later than March 7, 2022. Replies 
shall be sent to the Secretary by email to [email protected] or by mail
