The Ports and waterways Safety Act
authorizes the Coast Guard to require pre-arrival messages from any
vessel entering a port or place in the United States. This
information is required to control vessel traffic, develop
contingency plans and enforce regulations. Vessel owners and
operators may apply for a waiver of rules.
The change (i.e., increase) in
burden is an ADJUSTMENT and is strictly due to an increase in the
number of vessel arrivals. The Coast Guard now uses a relatively
new data base--MISLE--for estimating vessel arrivals and this
allows us to more accurately estimate the vessels impacted by this
Collection Of Information. The methodology for estimating hour
burden per respondent per year remains unchanged.
