IAW Title 46, US Code & Title 46,
CFR the collection of this information is necessary to determine
competency, character & physical qualifications for the
issuance of USCG licenses, certificates of registry & merchant
mariner documents.
A program change will result
from the Proposed Rules "Implementation of the Amendments to the
International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification
and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, and Changes to Domestic
Endorsements" (RIN 1625-AA16)( Docket No. USCG-2004-17914). The
Coast Guard is amending its regulations governing requirements for
credentialed mariners by adding an issuance of a medical
certificate for STCW-endorsed mariners. As a signatory to the STCW
Convention, this program change is necessary to demonstrate to the
International Maritime Organization that the United States has in
place certain regulations that implement the international
requirements and related amendments to the STCW Convention. This
program change will increase the number of annual responses of the
CG-719K or CG-719K/E by 3,201 and the total burden hours by 2,667.
The proposed change will not require additional information to be
collected; only increase the number of annual responses.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
