Facilities and Tank Vessels

OMB No. 1625-0060

Exp: 11/30/2011


Who must comply?

An owner and operator of a facility or tank vessel that uses a vapor control system (VCS) to control vapor during marine transfer operations, and Coast Guard (CG) accepted third-party certifying entities (CEs).

What is this collection about?

The information is used by the CG and the third-party VCS CEs to ensure compliance with U.S. regulations for design, installation, and operation of marine VCSs. The information is used by the CG to determine whether an entity is qualified to be accepted as a third-party VCS CE.

Where do I find the requirements for this information?

Title 33 CFR Part 154, Subpart E, and Title 46 CFR Part 39, which are available at—http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov.

When must information be submitted to the Coast Guard?

An owner or operator of a facility or a tank vessel that uses a marine VCS must submit information to a third-party VCS CE, the CG Marine Safety Center (MSC), or the CG Captain of the Port (COTP), and in some cases to the CG Headquarters (CG-5223), before a marine VCS is installed, operating, or modified. An entity applying for CG acceptance as a third-party VCS CE must submit information to CG-5223 and receive approval before it can act as a VCS CE. The VCS CEs must submit information to CG-5223 and the COTP after certifying or recertifying a facility VCS for marine operations.

How is the information submitted?

In writing or electronically via e-mail. Information may be submitted to the CG COTP at the local Sector Office, the CG MSC, or CG-5223. Contact info is below.

What happens when complete information is received?

CG-5223 will review the information and determine if an applicant is qualified to be accepted as a third-party VCS CE. CG-5223 will advise the applicant in writing. The VCS CEs, the MSC, or the COTP will review the information to ensure that a VCS is designed, installed, and operating in accordance with U.S. regulations. CG-5223 will review exemption requests. CG will keep information for records.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.

The Coast Guard estimates that the average burden per response for this report varies per information collection—about 15 minutes to record VCS facility maintenance; 1.5 hours for a new tank vessel VCS submission; 2 hours for a certifying entity submission; and up to 34.5 hours for a new facility VCS submission. You may submit any comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate or any suggestions for reducing the burden to: Commandant (CG-522), U.S. Coast Guard, 2100 2nd St. SW Stop 7126, Washington D.C. 20593-7126 or Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (1625-0060), Washington, DC 20503.
