   In addition, the FMC received license applications for changes to qualifying individuals from Air and Cargo Services, Forest Park, Ga. (Krista Hancock, vice president); C.P.S. International, Miami (Leopoldo Reyes, chief operating officer); and Scan-Shipping, Keasbey, N.J.

   Persons knowing of any reason why an applicant should not receive an OTI license or amendment are urged to contact the FMC’s Office of Transportation Intermediaries in Washington, D.C. Lists of licensed OTIs (applications approved, bonds in place and fully licensed) — both ocean freight forwarders and NVOs — also are available on the FMC website.
