This information is needed to enable
the Coast Guard to fulfill its responsibilities for maritime safety
under Title 46, U.S. Code. This collection is solely for this
purpose. The affected pulic includes some owners or operators of
large merchant vessels and all foreign-flag tankers calling at U.S.
ports.
The change in hour burden is an
ADJUSTMENT due to a change in vessel population/activity levels.
There is no proposed change to the reporting or recordkeeping
requirements of this collection. The reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain
unchanged. In this ICR, we estimate an annual increase in
respondents is due to an increase in thenumber of vessels that
carry out Cargo Gear recordkeeping. This change may be due to the
use of a different data base to collect the vessel population
(i.e., a shift from MISLE to SANS). In this ICR, we estimate an
annual decrease in responses and burden due to a decrease in the
number of vessels that carry out Shipping Papers recordkeeping.
This change may be due to the use of a different data base to
collect the vessel population (i.e., a shift from MISLE to SANS).
Updates are provided for cost burden associated with this
collection of information. Form CG-3585 was revised to better
distinguish between tank vessels and FPSOs and FPSs. The change to
the form is burden neutral as this is a CG-issued form that is
maintained by the vessel operator. The CG has created printable
instructions for this collection of information.
