The collection of information requires
vessels with a cargo capacity of 250 barrels or more of oil or

Transfer procedures provide basic safety information for operating
transfer systems with the goal of pollution prevention.

The change of burden is an
adjustment due to fluctuations in vessel population. While the hour
burden did not increase significantly, the total number of
responses did increase substantially. This is a result of a
correction in the Coast Guards data collection and analysis
methodology which enabled us to accurately capture additional
subpopulations.
