Collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the

Collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of

Information Collection Requests

1. Title: Security Plans for Ports, Vessels, Facilities, and Outer

Continental Shelf Facilities and Other Security-Related Requirements.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0077.

Summary: This information collection is associated with the

maritime security requirements mandated by the Maritime Transportation

Security Act (MTSA) of 2002. Security assessments, security plans and

other security-related requirements are found in Title 33 CFR chapter

I, subchapter H, and 33 CFR Parts 120 and 128.

Need: This information is needed to determine if vessels and

facilities are in compliance with certain security standards.

Forms: CG-6025, CG-6025A.

Respondents: Vessel and facility owners and operators.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 1,278,068

hours to 1,108,043 hours a year.

2. Title: Streamlined Inspection Program.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0085.

Summary: The Coast Guard established an optional Streamlined

Inspection Program (SIP) to provide owners and operators of U.S.

vessels an alternative method of complying with inspection requirements

of the Coast Guard.

Need: Section 3306 of 46 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to

prescribe regulations necessary to carry out the inspections of vessels

required under 46 U.S.C. 3301 and 46 U.S.C. 3103. The Coast Guard

relies on reports, documents, records of other persons and other

methods that have been determined to be reliable to ensure compliance

with vessels and seamen requirements under 46 U.S.C. subtitle II. The

Streamlined Inspection Program regulations under 46 CFR part 8, subpart

E, offer owners and operators of affected vessels an alternative to

traditional Coast Guard inspection procedures. Owners and operators of

vessels opting to participate in the program will maintain a vessel in

compliance with a Company Action Plan (CAP) and Vessel Action Plan

(VAP) and have their own personnel periodically perform many of the

tests and examinations conducted by marine inspectors of the Coast

Guard. The Coast Guard expects participating vessels will continuously

meet a higher level of safety and readiness throughout the inspection

cycle.

Forms: Not applicable.

Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels.

Frequency: On occasion. Application and plan development occur only

once at enrollment. Updates and revisions are required to be made every

two years and the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) and the

company will review the plans every five years.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 2,496

hours to 2,774 hours a year.

3. Title: Enhanced Maritime Domain Awareness via Electronic

Transmission of Vessel Transit Data.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0112.

Summary: The Coast Guard collects, stores, and analyzes data

transmitted by LRIT to enhance maritime domain awareness (MDA).

Awareness and threat knowledge are critical for securing the maritime

domain and the key to preventing adverse events. Domain awareness

enables the early identification of potential threats and enhances

appropriate responses, including interdiction at an optimal distance

with capable prevention forces.

Need: To ensure port safety and security and to ensure the

uninterrupted flow of commerce.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Owners or operators of certain vessels.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 150 hours

to 204 hours a year.

Dated: April 29, 2011.

R.E. Day,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,

Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
