Information Collection Request
1. Title: Course Approval and Records for Merchant Marine Training
Schools.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0028.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
[[Page 51643]]
Affected Public: Merchant marine training schools.
Abstract: The information is needed to ensure merchant marine
training schools meet minimal statutory requirements. The information
is used to approve the curriculum, facility, and faculty for these
schools. Section 7315 of 46 U.S.C. authorizes an applicant for a
license or document to substitute the completion of an approved course
for a portion of the required sea service. Section 10.302 of 46 CFR
contains the Coast Guard regulations for course approval.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 27,675
hours to 97,260 hours per year.
2. Title: Ships' Stores Certification for Hazardous Materials
Aboard Ships.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0034.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Suppliers and manufacturers of hazardous products
used on ships.
Abstract: The information is needed to ensure personnel aboard
ships are made aware of the proper usage and stowage instructions for
certain hazardous materials. Provisions are made for waivers of
products in special DOT hazard classes. Section 3306 of 46 U.S.C.
authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe regulations for the
transportation, stowage, and use of ships' stores and supplies of a
dangerous nature. Part 147 of 46 CFR contains the regulations for
hazardous ships' stores.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 9 hours to
12 hours per year.
3. Title: Ports and Waterways Safety--Title 33 CFR Subchapter P.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0043.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Master, owner, or agent of a vessel.
Abstract: This collection of information allows the master, owner,
or agent of a vessel affected by these rules to request a deviation
from the requirements governing navigation safety equipment to the
extent that there is no reduction in safety. Provisions in 33 CFR
chapter I, subchapter P, allow any person directly affected by the
rules therein to request a deviation from any of the requirements as
long as it does not compromise safety. This collection enables the
Coast Guard to evaluate information the respondent supplies for
determination of whether it justifies the request for a deviation.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 3,171
hours to 2,865 hours per year.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35, as amended.
Dated: August 27, 2008.
