Information Collection Request

Title: Safety Approval of Cargo Containers.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0024.

Summary: This information collection is associated with

requirements for owners and manufacturers of cargo containers to submit

information and keep records associated with the approval and

inspection of those containers. This information is required to ensure

compliance with the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC),

Need: This collection of information addresses the reporting and

recordkeeping requirements for containers in 49 CFR parts 450 through

used in trade. These rules prescribe only the minimum requirements of

the CSC.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Owners and manufacturers of containers, and

organizations that the Coast Guard delegates to act as an approval

authority.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from

129,345 hours to 159,678 hours a year, due to an increase in the

estimated annual number of responses.
