Title: MARAD's Marine Transportation Economic Impact Model Data
Needs.
OMB Control Number: 2133-0538.
Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
Affected Public: The target population for the survey will be
approximately 100 U.S. vessel and marine terminal operating companies.
Forms: MA-1051, MA-1052.
Abstract: This collection will provide current marine
transportation system operational data for the Marine Transportation
Economic Impact Model that is not available through other means. The
model uses information collected through surveys of the maritime
operating areas to develop a profile of the industry. Since the last
survey in 1999, significant increases in fuel, surface transportation,
and security costs have occurred, as well as the introduction of new
information and environmental technologies that have substantially
affected marine transportation system operations.
Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 450 hours.
Addressees: Send comments to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street,
Northwest, Washington, DC 20503, Attention MARAD Desk Officer.
Comments Are Invited On: Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have

practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. A comment to OMB is best assured of having its
full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.
Authority: 49 CFR 1.66.
Dated: April 20, 2011.
