The Ports and Waterways Safety Act
authorizes the Coast Guard to require pre-arrival messages from any
vessel entering a port or place in the United Sates. This
information is required to control vessel traffic, develop
contingency plans and enforce regulations. Vessel owners and
operators may apply for a waiver of rules.
The change in burden is a
PROGRAM CHANGE due to the "Vessel Requirements for Notices of
Arrival and Departure, and Carriage of Automatic Identification
System" (NOA-AIS) [USCG-2005-21869; RIN 1625-AA99] rulemaking. The
change in burden is a decrease of -53,161 hours (from 164,144 hours
to 110,983 hours per year).
