Information Collection Request

    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); and 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 Coast Guard 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.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 207 
hours to 16.5 hours a year due to the change in the average number of 
recall campaigns conducted during the last 21 years.

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

    Dated: June 19, 2018.
James D. Roppel,
Acting Chief, U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Information Management.
