Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT due a change in the vessel population. While the methodology for calculating burden/response remains unchanged, the population information (i.e., the large increase) is derived from a new Coast Guard database—MISLE. 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 for ICR 1625-0104.
