Title 46 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) 3306
authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to regulate the
transportation, stowage, and use of ships’ stores and supplies of a
dangerous nature. The responsibility to issue and oversee
regulations governing ships’ stores has been delegated to the Coast
Guard. Title 46 CFR 147 contains the regulations which govern
ships’ stores. The collection of information is made necessary for
two important reasons: (1) so that manufacturers and suppliers will
label hazardous ships’ stores with certain minimum information, and
(2) to allow for waivers and special approvals related to hazardous
ships’ stores on a case-by-case basis where detailed regulations
are impracticable. The statutory authority is 46 U.S.C.
3306.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
