The online Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OTI) license renewal process is on schedule to commence in mid-2017.
In total, almost 5,000 parties will need to have their license renewed over a three-year period. Commission staff reported that significant progress has been made in building the information technology based system that will be used for OTI license renewals, and in beginning to advise regulated entities of the procedures for complying with the new requirements.
In February of next year, the FMC will officially contact the first group of those qualified to have their licenses renewed, providing affected individuals with user names, passwords, and instructions on the process for completing license renewals.
The new system will communicate with regulated parties via electronic mail and OTIs are reminded that their most current contact information needs to be on file at the commission.
