Information Collection Requests
1. Title: Safety Approval of Cargo Containers.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0024.
Summary: This information collection requires owners and
manufacturers of cargo containers to submit information and keep
records associated with the approval and inspection of those
containers. This information is needed 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 450-453.
These rules are necessary because the U.S. is signatory to the CSC. The
CSC
[[Page 54301]]
requires that all containers be safety approved before they are used in
trade. These rules prescribe only the minimum requirements of the CSC.
Respondents: Owners and manufacturers of containers, and
organizations that the Coast Guard delegates to act as an approval
authority.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 73,272 hours a year.
2. Title: Outer Continental Shelf Activities--Title 33 CFR
Subchapter N
OMB Control Number: 1625-0044.
Summary: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act, as amended,
authorizes the Coast Guard to promulgate and enforce regulations
promoting the safety of life and property on OCS facilities. These
regulations are in 33 CFR, Chapter I, Subchapter N.
Need: The information is needed to ensure compliance with the
safety regulations related to OCS activities. The regulations include
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for annual inspections of
fixed OCS facilities, employee citizenship records, station bills,
emergency evacuation plans, and equivalency determinations.
Respondents: Operators of facilities and vessels engaged in
activities on the OCS.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 5,867 hours a year.
3. Title: Adequacy Certification for Reception Facilities and
Advance Notice--33 CFR Part 158.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0045.
Summary: This information collection is needed to evaluate the
adequacy of reception facilities prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Adequacy. Information for the advance notice ensures effective
management of reception facilities and reduces the burden to facilities
and ships.
Need: Section 1905 of 33 U.S.C. gives the Coast Guard the authority
to certify the adequacy of reception facilities in ports. Reception
facilities are needed to receive waste from ships which may not
discharge at sea. Under these regulations, in 33 CFR part 151 and 158,
there are discharge limitations for oil and oily waste, noxious liquid
substances, plastics and other garbage.
Respondents: Owners and operators of reception facilities, and
owners and operators of vessels.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 1,058 hours a year.
Dated: August 30, 2004.

Assistant Commandant for C4 and Information Technology.
