Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT. The decrease in burden is primarily due to a decrease in the estimated annual number of FRP respondents. The change is based on a new population screening criteria to eliminate duplicative and inactive bulk liquid waterfront facilities. The increase in responses is primarily due to the inclusion of responses related to the VRP Express Search Tool. The search tool feature allows the public to obtain VRP-related info via a webpage. The VRP Express Search Tool is new voluntary reporting element. The methodology for calculating burden remains unchanged. Also, the Coast Guard is suspending the use of CG-Form 6083 to review its functional necessity as part of our VRP acceptance and review process. Discontinuing the use of form CG-6083 is burden neutral, as planholder have always had the option to submit the same information by cover letter.
