FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 99-18]


Stallion Cargo, Inc.--Possible Violations of Sections 10(a)(1) 
and 10(b)(1) of the Shipping Act of 1984; Notice of Investigation

    Notice is given that the Commission, on October 5, 1999, served an 
Order of Investigation and Hearing on Stallion Cargo, Inc. 
(``Stallion''), a tariffed and bonded non-vessel operating common 
carrier (``NVOCC''). The Order institutes a formal investigation to 
determine whether Stallion violated sections 10(a)(1) and 10(b)(1) of 
the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. App. Sections 1709(a)(1) and 
(b)(1), by knowingly and willfully obtaining transportation at less 
than the rates and charges otherwise applicable through misdescription 
of the commodities actually shipped, and charging, demanding, 
collecting or receiving less or different compensation for the 
transportation of property than the rates and charges shown in its 
NVOCC tariff. Should violations be found, the proceeding will determine 
whether to impose civil penalties, suspend Stallion's tariff, suspend 
or revoke its license, and issue a cease and desist order. The full 
text of the Order may be viewed on the Commission's home page at 
www.fmc.gov, or at the Office of the Secretary, Room 1046, 800 N. 
Capitol Street, NW, Washington, DC. Any person may file a petition for 
leave to intervene in accordance with 46 CFR 502.72.
Bryant L. VanBrakle,
Secretary.
