Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (81 FR 14870, March 18, 2016)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). We received one comment from a
commenter to the 60-day Notice. The comment was not related to the
periodic renewal of this information collection. The comment was about
the need to correct outdated organizational addresses and standards of
certain materials incorporated by reference in title 46 CFR subchapter
L, Offshore Supply Vessels. The Coast Guard will consider this comment
in an ongoing rulemaking that will revise offshore supply vessel
standards.
Information Collection Request
Title: Offshore Supply Vessels--Title 46 Code of Federal Regulation
Subchapter L.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0065.
Summary: Title 46 U.S.C. 3305 and 3306 authorizes the Coast Guard
to prescribe safety regulations. Title 46 CFR subchapter L promulgates
marine safety regulations for offshore supply vessels (OSV).
Need: The OSV posting/marking requirements are needed to provide
instructions to those onboard of actions to be taken in the event of an
emergency. The reporting/recordkeeping requirements verify compliance
with regulations without Coast Guard presence to witness routine
matters, including OSVs based overseas as an alternative to Coast Guard
inspection.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 2,068
hours to 2,353 hours a year due to an increase in the estimated annual
number of respondents. The change is due to the methodology for
calculating burden being revised to better distinguish between the
burden elements. The last Information Collection Request (ICR) simply
estimated 304 responses per respondent. This ICR presents 3 distinct
burden elements--(1) plan review and records submission; (2)
recordkeeping & posting/marking; and (3) alternative annual inspection
submissions. This ICR also shows the difference in activity level
between existing OSVs and newly constructed OSVs.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: June 30, 2016.
Marilyn Scott-Perez,
Acting Deputy Chief Information Officer, U.S. Coast Guard.
