SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act

collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information

describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on

the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection,

and other important information describing the Collections. There is

The Coast Guard invites comments on whether these ICRs should be

granted based on the Collections being necessary for the proper

performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard

would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the

Collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the

Collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of

Information Collection Requests

1. Title: Direct User Fees for Inspection or Examination of U.S.

and Foreign Commercial Vessels.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0074.

Summary: This collection requires the submission of identifying

information such as a vessel's name and identification number, and of

the owner's choice whether or not to pay fees for future years. A

written request to the Coast Guard is necessary.

Need: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 [Pub. L. 101-

508], which amended 46 U.S.C. 2110,

[[Page 42537]]

requires the Coast Guard to collect user fees from inspected vessels.

To properly collect and manage these fees, the Coast Guard must have

current information on identification. This collection helps to ensure

that we get that information and manage it efficiently.

Forms: N/A.

Respondents: Owners of vessels.

Frequency: Annually.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 4,160

hours to 2,782 hours a year due to a reduction in the estimated annual

number of response.

2. Title: Audit Reports under the International Safety Management

Code.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0084.

Summary: This information helps to determine whether U.S. vessels,

subject to SOLAS 74, engaged in international trade, are in compliance

with that treaty. Organizations recognized by the Coast Guard conduct

ongoing audits of vessels' and companies' safety management systems.

Need: Title 46 U.S.C. 3203 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe

regulations regarding safety management systems. Title 33 CFR part 96

contains the rules for those systems and hence the safe operation of

vessels.

Forms: N/A.

Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels, and organizations

authorized to issue ISM Code certificates for the United States.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 18,610

number of respondents.

3. Title: Facilities Transferring Oil or Hazardous Materials in

Bulk--Letter of Intent and Operations Manual.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0093.

Summary: A Letter of Intent is a notice to the Coast Guard Captain

of the Port that an operator intends to operate a facility that will

transfer bulk oil or hazardous materials to or from vessels. An

Operations Manual (OM) is also required for this type of facility. The

OM establishes procedures to follow when conducting transfers and in

the event of a spill.

Need: Under 33 U.S.C. 1321 and Executive Order 12777 the Coast

Guard is authorized to prescribe regulations to prevent the discharge

of oil and hazardous substances from facilities and to contain such

discharges. The Letter of Intent regulation is contained in 33 CFR

154.110 and the OM regulations are contained in 33 CFR part 154 subpart

B.

Forms: N/A.

Respondents: Operators of facilities that transfer oil or hazardous

materials in bulk.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 84,247

hours to 45,748 hours a year due to a reduction in the estimated annual

number of respondents.
