Requirements for MODUs and Other Vessels Conducting Outer Continental Activities with Dynamic Positioning Systems

OMB No. 1625-new

Exp: mm/dd/yyyy


Who must comply?

Owners, operators of vessels and DP Assurance Organizations.

What is this collection about?

This information is used by the Coast Guard (CG) to—(1) ensure operators of Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems are properly trained, (2) ensure that the causes of DP incidents are properly addressed and corrected, and (3) ensure that Dynamic Positioning System Assurance Organizations (DPSAO) are highly qualified to act on behalf of the CG on DP related matters.

Where do I find the requirements for this information?

Title 33 CFR Parts 140, 143 & 146 and 46 CFR Parts 61 and 62 are available at—http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov, select TITLE and follow it to the Part.

When must information be submitted to the Coast Guard?

A vessel using DP to maintain station on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) must have copies of its Dynamic Positioning Operator/Dynamic Positioning Operator, Qualified (DPOs/DPOQs) Certificate of Training readily available at all times. An Annual DP Failure Investigation Report must be sent to CG at the end of every year. DP incidents that result in emergency disconnects or serious marine incidents must be reported to CG immediately following the incident. An application to become a recognized DPSAO must be submitted to the CG prior acting as a DP assurance organization acting on behalf of CG. The location and time of a DP survey must be reported to the CG at least 30 days prior to the survey. A vessel’s DP system plan must be submitted to the CG prior to the vessel operating on the U.S. OCS while using DP to maintain station.

How is the information submitted?

This information may be sent by mail, phone, fax or electronically submitted via e-mail to—

  • the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) at a CG Sector Office, for a DPSAO conducting a DP survey.

  • the Coast Guard OCS National Center of Expertise (NCOE), for a vessel owner or operating reporting a DP incident resulting in either an Emergency Disconnect or a Serious Marine Incident, or for a DPSAO submitting annual DP Investigation Reports and Applications to become a recognized DPSAO.

  • the Marine Safety Center (MSC), for a DPSAO submitting DP system plans.

A comprehensive list of contact info for Coast Guard units can be found at: http://www.uscg.mil/top/units/.

What happens when complete information is received?

The CG will review the information and—

  • determine whether the vessel has met the requirements necessary to operate on the U.S. OCS while using a DP system to maintain station.

  • determine whether a DPSAO is qualified to act on its behalf for DP related matters.

For additional information, contact--

Your local CG OCS NCOE, CG OCMI, or the MSC.



An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.

The Coast Guard estimates that the average burden for this report varies per information collection—about 6 minutes to report a DP Survey (Location and Time); 6 minutes for DPO/DPOQ Training recordkeeping; 20 minutes to report a DP Emergency Disconnect or Serious Marine Incident; 30 minutes to submit a DP System Plan; 4 hours to compile and submit an Annual DP Failure Investigation Report; up to 30 hours for a Registered DPSOA Application. You may submit any comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate or any suggestions for reducing the burden to: Commandant (CG-CVC), U.S. Coast Guard Stop 7501, 2703 Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE, Washington, DC 20593-7501 or Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (1625-new), Washington, DC 20503.
