Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Defect/Noncompliance Report and Campaign Update Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0010.
    Summary: Manufacturers whose products contain defects that create a 
substantial risk of personal injury to the public or fail to comply 
with an applicable Coast Guard safety standard are required to conduct 
defect notification and recall campaigns in accordance with 46 U.S.C. 
4310. Regulations in 33 CFR 179 require manufacturers to submit certain 
reports to the Coast Guard concerning progress made in notifying owners 
and making repairs.
    Need: Under 46 U.S.C. 4310(d) and (e); 33 CFR 179.13 and 179.15, 
the manufacturer shall provide the Commandant of the Coast Guard with 
an initial report consisting of certain information about the defect 
notification and recall campaign being conducted and follow up reports 
describing progress. Upon receipt of information from a manufacturer 
indicating the initiation of a recall, the Recreational Boating Product 
Assurance Branch assigns a recall campaign number, and sends the 
manufacturer CG forms CG-4917 and CG-4918 for supplying the 
information.
    Forms: CG-4917; Defect/Noncompliance Report and CG-4918; Campaign 
Update Report.
    Respondents: Manufacturers of boats and certain items of 
``designated'' associated equipment (inboard engines, outboard motors, 
sterndrive engines or an inflatable personal flotation device approved 
under 46 CFR 160.076.
    Frequency: Quarterly.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 252 to 207 
hours annually. The number of campaigns has decreased due to the pro-
active nature of the Coast Guard factory inspectors who detect and 
correct recreational boat deficiencies before a watercraft is placed in 
the market for sale.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: July 8, 2015.

    Sincerely,
Thomas P. Michelli,
U. S. Coast Guard, Deputy Chief Information Officer.
