subchapter N.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0044.

Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Operators of facilities and vessels engaged in

activities on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended,

authorizes the Coast Guard to promulgate and enforce regulations

promoting the safety of life and property on OCS facilities. These

Abstract: Section 1905 of 33 U.S.C. gives the Coast Guard the

Reception facilities are needed to receive waste from ships which may

not be discharged at sea. Under regulations in 33 CFR part 158 there

are discharge limitations for oil/oily waste, noxious liquid

substances, plastics, and other garbage. This information collection is

needed to evaluate the adequacy of reception facilities prior to

issuance of a Certificate of Adequacy. Information for the advance

notice ensures effective management of reception facilities and reduces

the Coast Guard to establish regulations to promote the safety of life

and property of facilities and vessels. Subpart E of 33 CFR part 154

contains Coast Guard regulations for vapor control systems (VCS) and

certifying entities. The information is needed to ensure compliance

with U.S. regulations for the design of facility and tank vessel VCS.

The information is also needed to determine the qualifications of a

certifying entity.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 1,145

hours to 2,724 hours a year.
