46 U.S.C. 4310 and 33 CFR part 179
require manufacturers of boats and certain items of associated
equipment to provide reports to the Coast Guard when their products
fail to comply with an applicable Federal safety standard or
contain defects which create a substantial risk of personal injury
to the public.
This is an ADJUSTMENT due to an
increase in burden. This increase is due to a correction from the
previous renewal submission. Because of the error in ROCIS
previously submitted, although there have been fewer recall
campaigns in the past three years, it will show as an increase.
This is partially a function of the number of boats that fail
compliance testing at the Coast Guard test facility. It is also a
function of economic forces; in a down economy there are fewer boat
manufacturers and in turn a fewer number of recalls. There has been
no change to the information being collected.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
