Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Oil and Hazardous Material Pollution Prevention and 
Safety Records, Equivalents/Alternatives and Exemptions.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0095.
    Summary: This information is needed to minimize the number and 
impact of pollution discharges and accidents occurring during transfer 
of oil or hazardous materials. This information will also be used to 
evaluate proposed alternatives and requests for exemptions.
    Need: The information collection requirement contained in this 
regulation is needed to: (1) Prevent or mitigate the results of an 
accidental release of bulk liquid hazardous materials being transferred 
at waterfront facilities; (2) ensure that facilities and vessels that 
use vapor control systems are in compliance with the safety standards 
developed by the Coast Guard; (3) provide equipment and operational 
requirements for facilities and vessels that transfer oil or hazardous 
materials in bulk to or from vessels with a 250 or more barrel 
capacity; and (4) provide procedures for vessel or facility operators 
who request exemption or partial exemption from the requirements of the 
pollution prevention regulations.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of bulk oil and hazardous 
materials facilities and vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 1,440 hours a year.
    2. Title: Requirements for the Use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas and 
Compressed Natural Gas as Cooking Fuel on Passenger Vessels.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0099.
    Summary: The collection of information requires passenger vessels

[[Page 69981]]

to have posted two placards that contain safety and operating 
instructions on the use of cooking appliances that use liquefied gas or 
compressed natural gas.
    Need: Title 46 U.S.C. 3306(a)(5) authorizes the Coast Guard to 
prescribe regulations for the use of vessel stores of a dangerous 
nature. These regulations are prescribed in both un-inspected and 
inspected passenger vessel regulations.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of passenger vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 2,680 
hours to 2,547 hours a year.
    3. Title: Periodic Gauging and Engineering Analyses for Certain 
Tank Vessels Over 30 Years Old.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0101.
    Summary: This information is used to verify the structural 
integrity of older tank vessels. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 required 
the issuance of regulations related to the structural integrity of tank 
vessels, including periodic gauging of the plating thickness of tank 
vessels over 30 years old.
    Need: Title 46 U.S.C. 3703 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe 
regulations related to tank vessels, including design, construction, 
alteration, repair, and maintenance. Section 31.10-21a of 46 CFR sets 
out the regulations related to periodic gauging and engineering 
analyses of certain tank vessels over 30 years old.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of certain tank vessels.
    Frequency: Every 5 years.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 13,688 hours a year.
    4. Title: National Response Resource Inventory.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0102.
    Summary: The information is needed to improve the effectiveness of 
deploying response equipment in the event of an oil spill. It may also 
be used in the development of contingency plans.
    Need: Section 4202 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-
380) required the Coast Guard to compile and maintain a comprehensive 
list of spill removal equipment. This collection helps fulfill that 
requirement.
    Respondents: Oil spill removal organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 1,224 
hours to 1,236 hours a year.
