The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT, due primarily for two reasons. First, subchapter J submissions are no longer counted under this collection. The reason is that subchapter J submissions are now covered by OMB control number 1625-0031. In 2005, subchapter J submissions accounted for 1,845 submissions, 24% of all submissions.
Second, the number of submissions of non-subchapter J plans to both the Coast Guard and non-Coast Guard parties (American Bureau of Shipping or Authorized Classification Societies) fell considerably between 2005 and 2008. In 2005 there were 5,941 non-subchapter J submissions but in 2008 only 4,815.
