Changes in estimated number of applications received annually: The estimated number of expected applications submitted to the Coast Guard has increased from 3000 to 5500. The Coast Guard's last burden estimate used 2005 data which indicated the historic yearly average number of permit applications received was approximately 3,000. In 2009 the Coast Guard conducted a survey of Coast Guard offices around the country and found that the number of permit applications annually received from the public has risen to approximately 5,500. The 2010 data suggest a similar pace. The numbers of Marine Event Permit applications received around the country in 2009 are as follows: 1st Coast Guard District (New England): 1300 5th Coast Guard District (Mid-Atlantic): 430 7th Coast Guard District (South East): 600 8th Coast Guard District (Gulf Coast and inland rivers): 416 9th Coast Guard District (Great Lakes): 487 11th Coast Guard District (California): 1526 13th Coast Guard District (Pacific Northwest): 293 14th Coast Guard District (Pacific Islands): 435 17th Coast Guard District (Alaska): 15 Total Marine Event Permits received in 2009: 5502 Changes in hourly burden: The estimated hourly burden to the public has increased from 3000 hours to 5270.83 hours. The Coast Guard has created a mechanism to submit the form CG-4423 electronically online through http://homeport.uscg.mil. To support this, the Coast Guard has modified the form to include an optional email address to allow http://homeport.uscg.mil to send automated email receipts to applicants. The Coast Guard continues to estimate that the aggregate time required for applicants to collect the data, fill out the paper form and mail it to the appropriate Coast Guard unit is 60 minutes. The Coast Guard estimates that the new online submission option will save applicants five minutes in processing time and approximately half of the applicants will select the online submission option. Because the Coast Guard has not previously allowed an online submission option, the 50% paper submission and 50% online submission is a rough estimate and will be refined as the program matures. The majority of the increase in burden hours is accounted for by the increase in the estimated number of applications expected annually. Changes in cost burden: The estimated cost burden has risen from $5833.33 to $280,144.61. In the past, the Coast Guard only accounted for the estimated cost of an administrative assistant (GS7 equivalent) to type the information into the form, figuring it took 20 minutes to type the form. This methodology was in error and did not account for the cost of collecting the information and preparing associated documents. Furthermore, the Coast Guard has found no information to substantiate the idea that administrative assistants type the CG-4423. Based on feedback from Coast Guard units processing permit applications, the Coast Guard estimates that most CG-4423s are completed by personnel who meet the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) definition of General and Operations Managers. The associated cost burden has been modified accordingly. Changes in annualized cost to the Federal Government: The estimated annualized cost to the Federal Government has risen from $3,625,500 to $4,880,125. The Coast Guard has updated the annual salary information for government personnel processing permit application and conducting environmental reviews to the most recent version of the governing publication (Commandant Instruction 7310.1 L, Standard Rates.) In addition, because the number of expected applications has increased from 3000 to 5500, the associated costs to the Federal Government have increased commensurately.
