Information Collection Request
1. Title: Plan Approval and Records for Marine Engineering
Systems--46 CFR Subchapter F.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0097.
Summary: This collection of information requires an owner or
builder of a commercial vessel to submit to the U.S. Coast Guard for
review and approval, plans pertaining to marine engineering systems to
ensure that the vessel will meet regulatory standards.
Need: 46 U.S.C. 3306 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe vessel
safety regulations including those related to marine engineering
systems. 46 CFR Subchapter F prescribes those requirements. The rules
provide the specifications, standards and requirements for strength and
adequacy of design, construction, installation, inspection, and choice
of materials for machinery, boilers, pressure vessels, safety valves,
and piping systems upon which safety of life is dependent.
Respondents: Owners and builders of commercial vessels.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 3,090
hours to 3,567 hours a year.
2. Title: Mandatory Ship Reporting System for the Northeast and
Southeast Coasts of the United States.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0103.
Summary: The information is needed to reduce the number of ship
collisions with endangered northern right whales. The rules establish
two mandatory ship-reporting systems off the northeast and southeast
coasts of the United States.
Need: 33 U.S.C. 1230(d) authorizes the Coast Guard to implement and
enforce these ship reporting systems. The collection involves ships'
reporting by radio to a shore-based authority when entering the area
covered by the reporting system. The ship will receive, in return,
information to reduce the likelihood of collisions between themselves
and northern right whales--an endangered species--in the areas
established with critical-habitat designation.
Respondents: Operators of certain vessels.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 88 hours
to 226 hours a year.
3. Title: Barges Carrying Bulk Hazardous Materials.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0104.
Summary: This information is needed to ensure the safe shipment of
bulk hazardous liquids in barges. The requirements are necessary to
ensure that barges meet safety standards and to ensure that barge's
crewmembers have the information necessary to operate barges safely.
Need: 33 U.S.C. 1903 and 46 U.S.C. 3703 authorize the Coast Guard
to prescribe rules related to the carriage of liquid bulk dangerous
cargoes. 46 CFR part 151 prescribes rules for barges carrying bulk
liquid hazardous materials.
Respondents: Owners and operators of tank barges.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 10,903
hours to 13,255 hours a year.
Dated: November 30, 2005.
