Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change (i.e., increase) in burden is an ADJUSTMENT due to an increase in the estimated annual number of responses for vessels being documented, and inclusion of an estimate for undocumented vessels. The Coast Guard does not collect the information needed to explain this trend. There is no proposed change to the reporting requirements of this collection. The reporting requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged.
