Short Statement: The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT due to a change (i.e., decrease) in the vessel population. The vessel population is derived from the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE) database. For this ICR, we added screening criteria to ensure that only active vessels are included in the population. There is no proposed change to the reporting or recordkeeping requirements of this collection. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and the methodology for calculation burden, remain unchanged.
