Information Collection Request

1. Title: Applications for Vessel Inspection, Waiver, and

Continuous Synopsis Record

OMB Control Number: 1625-0002.

Summary: The collection of information requires the owner,

operator, agent, or master of a vessel to apply in writing to the Coast

Guard before the commencement of an inspection for certification; when

a waiver is desired from the requirements of navigation and vessel

inspection; or, to request a Continuous Synopsis Record.

Need: Title 46 U.S.C. 3306 and 3309 authorize the Coast Guard to

establish regulations to protect life, property, and the environment.

These reporting requirements are part of the Coast Guard's Marine

Safety Program.

Forms: CG-2633, CG-3752, CG-3752A, CG-6039.

Respondents: Vessel owner, operator, agent, master or interested

U.S. Government agency.

Frequency: On occasion, annually, or on a 5-year cycle.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 848 hours

to 1,315 hours a year.

2. Title: Various International Agreement Safety Certificates and

Documents

OMB Control Number: 1625-0017.

Summary: The associated 15 forms are evidence of compliance with

the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS)

for certain U.S. vessels on international voyages. Without the proper

certificates or documents, a U.S. vessel could be detained in a foreign

port.

Need: SOLAS applies to all mechanically propelled cargo vessels of

500 or more gross tons (GT), and to all mechanically propelled

passenger vessels carrying more than 12 passengers that engage in

international voyages. SOLAS and title 46 CFR 2.01-25 list certificates

and documents that may be issued to vessels.

Forms: CG-967, CG-968, CG-968A, CG-969, CG-3347, CG-3347B, CG-4359,

CG-4360, CG-4361, CG-5643, CG-5679, CG-5679A, CG-5680, CG-6038, CG-

6038A.

Respondents: Owners and operators of SOLAS vessels.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 127 hours

to 169 hours a year.

3. Title: Alternative Compliance for International and Inland

Navigation Rules--33 CFR Parts 81 and 89

OMB Control Number: 1625-0019.

Summary: The information collected provides an opportunity for an

owner, operator, builder, or agent of a unique vessel to present their

reasons why the vessel cannot comply with existing International/Inland

Navigation Rules, and, how alternative compliance can be achieved. If

appropriate, a Certificate of Alternative Compliance is issued.

Need: Certain vessels cannot comply with the International

Navigation Rules (see 33 U.S.C. 1601 through 1608; 28 U.S.T. 3459, and

T.I.A.S. 8587) and Inland Navigation Rules (33 U.S.C. 2001 through

2073). The Coast Guard thus provides an opportunity for alternative

compliance. However, it is not possible to determine whether

appropriate, or what kind of alternative procedures might be necessary,

without this collection.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Vessel owners, operators, builders and agents.

Frequency: One-time application.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 122 hours

to 50 hours a year.

4. Title: Oil and Hazardous Materials Transfer Procedures

OMB Control Number: 1625-0030.

Summary: The collection of information requires vessels with a

cargo capacity of 250 barrels or more of oil/hazardous materials to

develop and maintain transfer procedures. Transfer procedures provide

basic safety information with the goal of pollution prevention.

Need: Title 33 U.S.C. 1231 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe

regulations related to the prevention of pollution. Title 33 CFR Part

155 prescribes pollution prevention regulations including those related

to transfer procedures.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Operators of certain vessels.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 133 hours

to 164 hours a year.

Dated: September 15, 2010.
