Information Collection Request

Title: Streamlined Inspection Program.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0085.

Summary: The Coast Guard established an optional Streamlined

Inspection Program (SIP) to provide owners and operators of U.S.

vessels an alternative method of complying with inspection requirements

of the Coast Guard.

Need: The SIP regulations under 46 CFR part 8, subpart E, offer

owners and operators of inspected vessels an alternative to traditional

Coast Guard inspection procedures. Title 46 U.S.C. 3306 authorizes the

Coast Guard to prescribe regulations necessary to carry out the

inspections of vessels required to be inspected under 46 U.S.C. 3301,

and 46 U.S.C. 3103 allows the Coast Guard to rely on reports,

documents, and records of other persons who have been determined to be

reliable, and other methods that have been determined to be reliable to

ensure compliance with vessels and seamen requirements under 46 U.S.C.

subtitle II.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from

13,298 hours to 13,330 hours a year, due to an increase in the

estimated annual number of responses.

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

35, as amended.

Dated: February 8, 2024.

Kathleen Claffie,

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