Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical

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

of information subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the

Previous Request for Comments

This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The

Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (80 FR 42509, July 17, 2015)

required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no comments.

Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.

Information Collection Request

1. Title: Defect/Noncompliance Report and Campaign Update Report.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0010.

Summary: Manufacturers whose products contain defects that create a

substantial risk of personal injury to the public or fail to comply

with an applicable Coast Guard safety standard are required to conduct

defect notification and recall campaigns in accordance with 46 U.S.C.

4310. Regulations in 33 CFR 179 require manufacturers to submit certain

reports to the Coast Guard concerning progress made in notifying owners

and making repairs.

Need: Under 46 U.S.C. 4310(d) and (e); and 33 CFR 179.13 and

179.15, the manufacturer shall provide the Commandant of the Coast

Guard with an initial report consisting of certain information about

the defect notification and recall campaign being conducted and follow

up reports describing progress. Upon receipt of information from a

manufacturer indicating the initiation of a recall, the Recreational

Boating Product Assurance Branch assigns a recall campaign number, and

sends the manufacturer CG Forms CG-4917 and CG-4918 for supplying the

information.

Forms: CG-4917, Defect/Noncompliance Report and CG-4918, Campaign

Update Report.

[[Page 72444]]

Respondents: Manufacturers of boats and certain items of

``designated'' associated equipment (inboard engines, outboard motors,

sterndrive engines or an inflatable personal flotation device approved

under 46 CFR 160.076).

Frequency: This Information Collection has recordkeeping

requirements. The frequency for reporting is Quarterly.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 252

hours to 207 hours annually. The number of campaigns has decreased due

to the pro-active nature of the Coast Guard factory inspectors who

detect and correct recreational boat deficiencies before a watercraft

is placed in the market for sale.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35, as amended.

Dated: November 10, 2015.

Thomas P. Michelli,

U.S. Coast Guard, Deputy Chief Information Officer.
