FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 95-18]


United Van Lines, Inc. and United Van Lines International, Inc. 
v. United Shipping USA, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Complaint and 
Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint filed by United Van Lines, Inc. 
and United Van Lines International, Inc. (``Complainants'') against 
United Shipping USA, Inc. (``Respondent'') was served October 25, 1995. 
Complainants allege that Respondent has violated sections 10(d)(1) and 
19(a) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app. Sec. 1709(d)(1) and 
Sec. 1718(a) by illegally appropriating complainants' name and good 
will as an NVOCC and by utilizing complainants' name and goodwill in 
acting and holding itself out as a freight forwarder without being 
licensed by the Commission.
    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 is such that an oral hearing the 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 October 25, 
1996, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by 
February 25, 1997.
Joseph C. Polking,
Secretary.
