OMB Control Number: 1625-0041.

Summary: Required by the adoption of the International Convention

for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78) and other

of compliance for U.S. vessels on international voyages. Without the

proper certificates or documents, a U.S. vessel could be detained in a

foreign port.

Need: Compliance with treaty requirements aids in the prevention of

pollution from ships.

operators a way to document equivalent compliance with the Hong Kong

International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound

Recycling of Ships, 2009 (Hong Kong (HK) Convention). The form may aid

a U.S. vessel during a foreign Port State Control boarding.

Respondents: Owners, operators, or masters of vessels.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 2,993

hours to 4,350 hours, due to an increase in the estimated number of

responses. In addition, the estimated burden has increased by 19 hours,

due to a new optional form--the International Certificate on Inventory

of Hazardous Materials (Statement of Voluntary Compliance) (form CG-

16478). The total estimated burden is 4,369 hours.

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