The information is needed to ensure
that merchant marine training schools meet minimal statutory
requirements. The information is used to approve the cirriculum,
facility and faculty for these schools. Respondents are merchant
mariner training schools.
The change in burden is due to
PROGRAM changes as proposed by the Supplementary Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (SNPRM) entitled "Implementation of the Amendments to
the International Convention on Standards of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, and Changes to
Domestic Endorsements" [Docket No. USCG-2004-17914; RIN 1625-AA16],
where training providers offering STCW courses must: 1) write and
maintain a QSS manual on those courses; 2) arrange an internal
audit of each Coast Guard approved STCW course twice every five
years; and 3) keep the audit records for Coast Guard inspection as
needed. As proposed, these changes impose additional reporting and
recordkeeping burden.
