Abstract: The collection of information requires passenger vessels to have posted two placards that contain safety and operating instructions on the use of cooking appliances that use liquefied gas or compressed natural gas. Respondents are owners and operators of passenger vessels. The statutory authority is 46 U.S.C. 3306 (Navigational Rules Act of 1980) (inspected vessels) and 46 U.S.C. 4302 (recreational vessels). This authority is delegated by the Secretary to the Coast Guard via the Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, Revision No. 01.2. (II)(79) and (92)(b).
