Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Characteristics of Liquid Chemicals Proposed for Bulk 
Water Movement.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0007.
    Summary: The Coast Guard requires manufacturers of new chemicals to 
submit data on new materials. From the data, the Coast Guard determines 
appropriate precautions.
    Need: Title 46 CFR parts 30 to 40, 151, 153, and 154 govern the 
transportation of hazardous materials. The chemical industry constantly 
produces new materials that must be moved by water. Each of these new 
materials has unique characteristics requiring special attention to 
their mode of shipment.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Manufacturers of chemicals.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 78 hours 
to 600 hours a year.
    2. Title: Direct User Fees for Inspection or Examination of U.S. 
and Foreign Commercial Vessels.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0074.
    Summary: This collection requires the submission of identifying 
information such as a vessel's name, identification number, and of the 
owner's choice of whether or not to pay fees for future years. A 
written request to the Coast Guard is necessary.
    Need: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 [Pub. L. 101-
508], which amended 46 U.S.C. 2110, requires the Coast Guard to collect 
user fees from inspected vessels. To properly collect and manage these 
fees, the Coast Guard must have current information on identification. 
This collection helps to ensure we get that information and manage it 
efficiently.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Owners of vessels.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden hours has decreased from 
4,268 hours to 4,160 hours a year.
    3. Title: Audit Reports under the International Safety Management 
(ISM) Code.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0084.
    Summary: This information helps to determine whether U.S. vessels, 
subject to SOLAS 74, engaged in international trade, are in compliance 
with that treaty. Organizations recognized by the Coast Guard conduct 
ongoing audits of vessels' and companies' safety management systems.
    Need: Title 46 U.S.C. 3203 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe 
regulations regarding safety management systems. The rules for those 
systems and hence the safe operation of vessels are contained in 33 CFR 
part 96.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels, and organizations 
authorized to issue ISM Code certificates for the United States.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 16,873 
hours to 18,610 hours a year.
    4. Title: Facilities Transferring Oil or Hazardous Materials in 
Bulk--Letter of Intent and Operations Manual.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0093.
    Summary: A Letter of Intent is a notice to the Coast Guard Captain 
of the Port indicating an operator's intention to manage a facility 
that will transfer bulk oil/hazardous materials to or from vessels. An 
Operations Manual (OM) is also required for this type of facility. The 
OM establishes procedures to follow when conducting transfers and in 
the event of a spill.
    Need: Under 33 U.S.C. 1321 and Executive Order 12777, the Coast 
Guard is authorized to prescribe regulations to prevent the discharge 
of oil/hazardous substances from facilities and to contain such 
discharges. The Letter of Intent regulation is contained in 33 CFR 
154.110 and the OM regulations are contained in 33 CFR part 154 subpart 
B.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Operators of facilities that transfer oil or hazardous 
materials in bulk.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 53,960 
hours to 90,076 hours a year.
    5. 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) requires the Coast Guard to compile and maintain a comprehensive 
list of spill removal equipment. This collection helps fulfill that 
requirement.
