Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change (i.e., increase) in hour burden is an ADJUSTMENT and is strictly due to an increase in the estimated number of equipment/material manufacturers. The Coast Guard now uses a relatively new data base--MISLE--for estimating these data and this allows us to more accurately determine the number of manufacturers. 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 estimated number of equipment/material manufacturers. The methodology for estimating responses per year remains unchanged.
