Information Collection Request

Title: Report of Oil or Hazardous Substance Discharge; and Report

of Suspicious Maritime Activity.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0096.

Summary: Any discharge of oil or a hazardous substance must be

reported to the National Response Center (NRC) so that the pre-

designated on-scene coordinator can be informed and appropriate spill

mitigation action carried out. The NRC also receives suspicious

activity reports from the public and disseminates this information to

appropriate entities.

Need: 33 CFR 153.203, 40 CFR 263.30 and 264.56, and 49 CFR 171.15

mandate that the NRC be the central place for the public to report all

pollution spills. 33

[[Page 13741]]

CFR 101.305 mandates that owners or operators of those vessels or

facilities required to have security plans, report activities that may

result in a Transportation Security Incident (TSI) or breaches of

security to the NRC. Voluntary reports are also accepted.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Persons-in-charge of a vessel or onshore/offshore

facility; owners or operators of vessels or facilities required to have

security plans; and the public.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 1,980

hours to 3,683 hours a year, due primarily to an increase in the

estimated hour burden per response. The Coast Guard revised the hour

burden per response from 5 minutes to 8.5 minutes per response. Based

on recent NRC data, the change more accurately reflect the time per

response.

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

35, as amended.

Dated: March 4, 2022.

Kathleen Claffie,

Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
