Merchant Mariner License, Certificates, and Document Application; Criminal Record Review in Issuing Licenses, CORS, MMDs; Access to NDR; 5-Year Terms of Validity
The collection is approved for three years, with the exception of the new 719B. We received only one comment pertaining to this and other collections under this OMB number (March 31 letter from Charter Industry Services, Inc). We assume that problems identified are being addressed and would appreciate brief report on this, especially pertaining to having each Regional Exam Center using its own forms and procedures. Also, with respect to the 719B, we are concerned with the generality of the several questions in Part VI. For example, the question whether you have ever used a dangerous drug could be construed as overly broad. We would like to resolve our concerns expeditiously, perhaps with a Conference call, involving OST and the program office responsible for this collection.

The collection is necessary to determine qualification of mariners for issuing licenses. OPA 90 mandates that individuals must give their consent for Coast Guard to review NDR reports for issuance/renewal. Criminal offenses may revoke credentials. OPA 90 mandate reduces terms of validity to 5 years.
