In the Maritime Transportation
Security Act of 2002 (MTSA), Congress directed the Secretary of the
Department in which the Coast Guard is operating to require all
crewmembers on vessels calling at U.S. ports to carry and present
on demand any identification the Secretary decides is necessary.
The Act also directed the Secretary to develop forms and processes
for the identification and verification of crewmembers.
The change in burden is an
ADJUSTMENT due to a decrease in the crewmember populations along
with a correction in the number of hours associated with processing
the forms. The average annual number of respondents changed from
24,681 to 21,625 based on the more recent arrivals data. However,
the number of net labor hours increased as a result of the
correction from 34,553 to 62,713, a difference of 28,160. There is
no proposed change to the recordkeeping requirements of this
collection.
