The OSV posting/marking requirements
are needed to provide instructions to those on board of actions to
be taken in the event of an emergency. The reporting/recordkeeping
requirements verify compliance with regulations without CG presence
to witness routine matters, including OSVs based overseas as an
alternative to CG reinspection.
The change in burden is an
ADJUSTMENT due to a change in vessel population. Over time the CG
has maintained vessel data on several agency databases. With each
transition from one database to another, the amount of vessel data
(e.g. level of detail) and the method for making data extractions
has changed. Most recently the database change was from MSIS to
MISLE. MISLE is able to house more details on vessel types and
descriptions. In some cases data calls include vessels that may not
have been available under a less refined database such as MSIS. As
a result, the recent shift from MSIS to MISLE is the cause for the
increase in vessel population.
