authority.
    Form: None.
    Abstract: 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 
International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC). The CSC requires

Subchapter N.

safety regulations related to OCS activities. The regulations include 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for annual inspections of

emergency evacuation plans, and equivalency determinations.

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 theses regulations in 33 CFR, Parts 151 and 
158, there are discharge limitations for oil and oily waste, noxious 
liquid substances, plastics and other garbage.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 1,058 hours a year.
