FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 95-10]


Puerto Rico Shipping Association v. Puerto Rico Ports Authority; 
Filing of Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint filed by Puerto Rico Shipping 
Association (``Complainant'') against Puerto Rico Ports Authority 
(``Respondent'') was served July 6, 1995. Complainant alleges that 
Respondent has violated sections 10(b)(12) and (d) of the Shipping Act 
of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app. Secs. 1709(b)(12) and (d) and sections 16 
First, and 17 of the Shipping Act of 1916, 46 U.S.C. app Secs. 815 
First, and 816, in connection with its establishment of an April 5, 
1995, rate increase for services and facilities it makes available to 
common carriers by water and other users of marine terminal facilities 
in the port of San Juan.
    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 and 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 July 6, 
1996, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by 
November 6, 1996.
Joseph C. Polking,
Secretary.
