Previous Request for Comments

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

Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (81 FR 14870, March 18, 2016)

required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). We received one comment from a

commenter to the 60-day Notice. The comment was not related to the

periodic renewal of this information collection. The comment was about

the need to correct outdated organizational addresses and standards of

certain materials incorporated by reference in title 46 CFR subchapter

L, Offshore Supply Vessels. The Coast Guard will consider this comment

in an ongoing rulemaking that will revise offshore supply vessel

standards.

Information Collection Request

Title: Offshore Supply Vessels--Title 46 Code of Federal Regulation

Subchapter L.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0065.

Summary: Title 46 U.S.C. 3305 and 3306 authorizes the Coast Guard

to prescribe safety regulations. Title 46 CFR subchapter L promulgates

marine safety regulations for offshore supply vessels (OSV).

Need: The OSV posting/marking requirements are needed to provide

instructions to those onboard of actions to be taken in the event of an

emergency. The reporting/recordkeeping requirements verify compliance

with regulations without Coast Guard presence to witness routine

matters, including OSVs based overseas as an alternative to Coast Guard

inspection.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 2,068

hours to 2,353 hours a year due to an increase in the estimated annual

number of respondents. The change is due to the methodology for

calculating burden being revised to better distinguish between the

burden elements. The last Information Collection Request (ICR) simply

estimated 304 responses per respondent. This ICR presents 3 distinct

burden elements--(1) plan review and records submission; (2)

recordkeeping & posting/marking; and (3) alternative annual inspection

submissions. This ICR also shows the difference in activity level

between existing OSVs and newly constructed OSVs.

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

Chapter 35, as amended.

Dated: June 30, 2016.

Marilyn Scott-Perez,

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