Information Collection Request


Title: Official Logbook.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0018.

Summary: The Official Logbook contains information about the

voyage, the vessel's crew, drills, watches, and operations conducted

during the voyage. Official Logbook entries identify particulars of the

voyage, including the name of the ship, official number, port of

registry, tonnage, names and merchant mariner credential numbers of the

master and crew, the nature of the voyage, and class of ship. In

addition, it also contains entries for the vessel's drafts, maintenance

of watertight integrity of the ship, drills and inspections, crew list

and report of character, a summary of laws applicable to Official

Logbooks, and miscellaneous entries.

NEED: Title 46, United States Code (U.S.C.) 11301, 11302, 11303,

and 11304 require applicable merchant vessels to maintain an Official

Logbook. The Official Logbook contains information about the vessel,

voyage, crew, and watch. Lack of these particulars would make it

difficult for a seaman to verify vessel employment and wages, and for

the Coast Guard to verify compliance with laws and regulations

concerning vessel operations and safety procedures. The Official

Logbook serves as an official record of recordable events transpiring

at sea such as births, deaths, marriages, disciplinary actions, etc.

Absent the Official Logbook, there would be no official civil record of

these events. The courts accept log entries as proof that the logged

event occurred. If this information was not collected, the Coast

Guard's commercial vessel safety program would be negatively impacted,

as there would be no official record of U.S. merchant vessel voyages.

Similarly, those seeking to prove that an event required to be logged

occurred would not have an official record available.

Forms: CG-706B.

Respondents: Federal agency maritime casualty investigators, Coast

guard inspectors, and shipping companies.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 1,750 hours a year.


Dated: July 28, 2011.

R.E. Day,

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

Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
