Although the
fundamental principle of reduction in costs within the government
is the basis of this change in information collection, it stands
only on the basis of an agreement between MARAD and the Coast
Guard. This collection is approved for use through May 31, 1984 on
the understanding that MARAD is developing a rule to combine the
two authorities for information collection. After publication of
such a rule, this collection can be evaluated in a clearer
light.
