Abstract: This information collection is revised by making minor changes to four forms due to an associated rule (RIN 0648-AW57). • This action updates the Regulatory citation on the bottom of the “Schedule B – Qualified Vessel for Construction, Acquisition and/or Mortgage Payments” and “Schedule B – Qualified Vessel for Reconstruction” forms. • In addition, on the “Schedule B – Qualified Vessel for Reconstruction” form it removes the reference to the minimum cost requirement under line F since the new Regulation has removed any minimum cost requirement on these types of projects. On the “Certificate of Construction/Reconstruction” form the “Note” on the bottom of the form was removed since it was an exception under the previous Regulation to allow program users to meet the minimum cost requirement. As previously mentioned, the minimum cost requirement no longer exists under the current Regulation. • We have modified the “Capital Construction Fund Agreement” to remove the term “interim” from the title and any other references in the document related to an interim Agreement. This was necessary to make the new form consistent with our program policies since all Agreements made previously under the original “Interim” form were always considered to be permanent Agreements. • Finally, we are taking this opportunity to add Privacy Act Statements (PASs) to all forms which collect PII and/or BII. Our CCF application previously had a PAS but it was not in the currently DOC-required format.

This resulted in a decrease of expected respondents from 2,000 to 1,445 since the last extension, resulting in a decrease of 555 responses, 435 hours and $3,247 in recordkeeping/reporting costs.
