Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change (i.e., increase) in burden is both a PROGRAM CHANGE and an ADJUSTMENT. The PROGRAM CHANGE results from the “Passenger Weight and Inspected Vessel Stability Requirements” Final Rule [USCG-2007-0030; RIN 1625-AB20]. The Coast Guard amended its regulations governing the stability of passenger vessels and the maximum number of passengers that may safely be permitted on board a vessel. The average American weighs significantly more than the assumed average weight per person utilized in prior regulations, and the maximum number of persons permitted on a vessel is determined by several factors, including an assumed average weight for each passenger. The updated regulations more accurately reflect today’s average weight per person, maintaining intended safety levels by taking this weight increase into account. The ADJUSTMENT is the result of a change in the way the Marine Safety Center tabulates responses. Previously, only plan reviews which culminated with a letter being sent to the submitter were counted, whereas the MSC now tabulates all responses submitted for review.
