Narrative of Revisions

The purpose of the Narrative of Revisions is to clearly indicate revisions to a collection since the previous approval

Collection Title: Labeling required in 33 CFR Parts 181 and 183 and 46 CFR 25.10-3

OMB Control No.: 1625-0056

Current Expiration Date: 06/30/2010

Collection Instruments: Instructions

The following listed below are revisions to the collection:

• USCG is now using updated boat sales data.

• There has been a decrease in the burden time associated with this collection. USCG has reduced the reporting burden associated with this collection from 395,107 hours (previously approved) to 299,142 hours (current submission). The adjustments are due reductions in annual boat sales volume.

• Due to reductions in annual boat sales volume, there are fewer labeling requirements.

• Instructions have been created for this collection.

• Updates have been provided for government cost and burden cost associated with this collection of information.

• In 2007, there were 4,000 boats that were built during that year and this number was reported as the number of respondents with a response of 1 per respondent. This gave the impression that there was a one-to-one correspondence between respondents and responses when in fact there wasn’t. The burden reflected in the previous approval was combined as one group. This was an error on our part.

• To prevent further confusion and provide more clarity of the burden associated with this collection, the labels were broken down according to their respective category thus demonstrating a large increase in the number of responses for this collection from 4000 to 299,142. This is to ensure that a more accurate picture is portrayed as far as labeling requirements are concerned.
