Information Collection Request

1. Title: Application and Permit to Handle Hazardous Materials.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0005.

Summary: The information sought by this collection, which includes

form CG-4260, ensures the safe handling of explosives and other

hazardous materials around ports and aboard vessels.

Need: Sections 1225 and 1231 of 33 U.S.C. authorize the Coast Guard

to establish standards for the handling, storage, and movement of

hazardous materials on a vessel and waterfront facility. Regulations in

33 CFR 126.17, 49 CFR 176.100, and 176.415 prescribe the rules for

facilities and vessels.

Respondents: Shipping agents and terminal operators that handle

hazardous materials.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 145 hours

to 185 hours a year.

2. Title: Security Zones, Regulated Navigation Areas, and Safety

Zones.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0020.

Summary: The Coast Guard collects this information only when

someone seeks a security zone, a regulated navigation area, or safety

zone. It uses the information to assess the need to establish one of

these areas.

Need: Sections 1226 and 1231 of 33 U.S.C.; 50 U.S.C. 191 and 195;

and parts 6 and 165 of 33 CFR give the Coast Guard Captain of the Port

(COTP) the authority to designate security zones in the United States

for as long as deemed necessary to prevent damage or injury. Section

1223 of 33 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe rules to

control vessel traffic in areas he or she deems hazardous because of

reduced visibility, adverse weather, or vessel congestion. Section 1225

of 33 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to establish rules to allow the

designation of safety zones where access is limited to authorized

persons, vehicles, or vessels to protect the public from hazardous

situations.

Respondents: Federal, State, and local government agencies, vessels

and facilities.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 194 hours

to 295 hours a year.

3. Title: Self-propelled Liquefied Gas Vessels.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0029.

Summary: To ensure compliance with our rules for the design and

operation of liquefied gas carriers, the Coast Guard needs the

information sought in this collection utilizing agency form numbers CG-

4355 and CG-5148.

Need: Sections 3703 and 9101 of 46 U.S.C. authorize the Coast Guard

to establish regulations to protect life, property, and the environment

from the hazards associated with the carriage of dangerous liquid cargo

in bulk. Part 154 of 46 CFR prescribes these rules for the carriage of

liquefied gases in bulk on self-propelled vessels by governing the

design, construction, equipment, and operation of these vessels and the

safety of personnel aboard them.

Respondents: Owners and operators of self-propelled vessels

carrying liquefied gas.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 5,416

hours to 6,566 hours a year.

4. Title: Plan Approval and Records for Electrical Engineering

Regulations--Title 46 CFR Subchapter J.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0031.

Summary: The information sought is required to ensure compliance

with our rules on electrical engineering for the design and

construction of U.S. flag commercial vessels.

Need: Sections 3306 and 3703 of 46 U.S.C. authorize the Coast Guard

to establish rules to promote the safety of life and property in

commercial vessels. The electrical engineering rules appear at 46 CFR

chapter I, subchapter J (parts 110 through 113).

Respondents: Owners, operators, and builders of vessels.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 1,151

hours to 3,529 hours a year.

5. Title: Streamlined Inspection Program.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0085.

Summary: The Coast Guard established an optional Streamlined

Inspection Program (SIP) to provide owners and operators of U.S.

vessels an alternative method of complying with inspection requirements

of the Coast Guard.

Need: Section 3306 of 46 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to

prescribe regulations necessary to carry out inspections of vessels

required under 46 U.S.C. 3301. Within the same subtitle, 46 U.S.C. 3103

allows the Coast Guard to rely on reports, documents, and records of

other persons/methods determined to be reliable, to ensure

[[Page 64235]]

compliance with vessels and seamen requirements. The SIP regulations

under 46 CFR part 8, subpart E, offer owners and operators of inspected

vessels an alternative to traditional Coast Guard inspection

procedures. Owners and operators of vessels opting to participate in

the program will maintain them in compliance with a Company Action Plan

(CAP) and Vessel Action Plan (VAP). They will have their own personnel

periodically perform many of the tests/examinations conducted by marine

inspectors of the Coast Guard, who expect participating vessels will

continuously meet a higher level of safety/readiness throughout the

inspection cycle.

Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels.

Frequency: On occasion. Application and plan development occur only

once, at time of enrollment. Updates and revisions are required to be

made every two years by the applicant. The Officer in Charge, Marine

Inspection (OCMI) and the company SIP agent will review the plans every

five years.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 2,138

hours to 2,496 hours a year.

Dated: November 8, 2007.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,
