OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 07/10/2024
	Date Received in OIRA: 07/03/2024
Terms of Clearance: The agency is seeking a non-substantive change to add approximately 50 respondents to its respondent population without any substantive changes to the collection. OIRA would not typically grant such a change as a non-substantive adjustment. However, the agency has argued that 1) the scope should have included this expanded population from the beginning and was omitted based solely on an error, and 2) the added respondents themselves expected to be a part of the survey population based on the original notice and comment period.

Abstract: The Building American Production Capacity for Electric Port Equipment and other Port Infrastructure Items collection is essential to identify the demand for electrically powered port equipment and infrastructure items supported by pooled procurement. This initiative, which is comprised of an online survey and interview with diverse American port stakeholders, will also support Buy American/Buy America objectives and American manufacturers of electrically powered port equipment. Survey responses will also help to identify a suitable port through which the procurement of electrically powered port equipment and infrastructure can be initiated. This survey is being conducted through a cooperative agreement between the Maritime Administration (MARAD) and the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA). Currently, many U.S. port authorities and marine terminal operators purchase diesel-powered dockside equipment, necessary for loading, unloading, and organizing shipping containers. Much of this equipment is foreign made, in short supply, and increases exposure to dangerous emissions that contribute to climate change. The recent passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), commonly referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, which was signed into law on November 15, 2021, provides a federal grant stream that will modernize U.S. ports infrastructure over the next five years. Specifically, this Bill assures resources for the development of a domestic capacity of clean electric-powered American alternatives to replace and reduce emissions by predominantly foreign-made diesel port equipment.

Short Statement: The proposed collection is a new information collection which has a public burden impact. An estimated 150 potential respondents will take an average of 15 minutes to review the survey and interview requests and choose whether or not to participate, or to begin the survey and exit based on qualification questions. Of these, only 50 respondents will take two (2) hours respond once to this collection. Therefore, the total combined respondents and responses for this collection are 200, while the total combined burden hours associated with this collection is 137.5 or 138 hours. Approximately 90% of this collection is fully electronic. The remaining 10% is expected to include phone calls and on-line meetings expected to use the same amount of time.
