USC 1225 Name of Law: Navigation and Navigable Waters
The change (i.e., increase) in
hour burden is an ADJUSTMENT and is strictly due to an increase in
the annual number of requests for permits. The Coast Guard now uses
a relatively new data base--MISLE--for estimating permit activity
and this allows us to more accurately determine the annual number
of permit requests. The methodology for estimating hour burden per
response per year remains unchanged. The change in the number of
responses is strictly due to an increase in the annual number of
requests for permits. The methodology for estimating responses per
year remains unchanged.
