Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in the burden is an ADJUSTMENT due to a change (i.e., increase) in the estimated annual number of responses. With one exception, there is no proposed change to the reporting or recordkeeping requirements of this collection. This ICR is revised to account for the recordkeeping burden of form CG-1270 (Certificate of Documentation (COD)). A COD is issued by the Coast Guard to a vessel owner. We estimate the recordkeeping burden of 3 minutes per response. CODs were issued in the past, but not accounted for under 1625-0027. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged.
