    Type of Request: Renewal of a Previously Approved Information 
Collection.
    Background: Pursuant to E.O. 12656 and 49 CFR 1.81, the Maritime 
Administration (MARAD) issues, for emergency planning and preparedness 
purposes, a Port Readiness Plan (PRP) to each strategic commercial 
seaport (port) designated by the Commander, Military Surface Deployment 
and Distribution Command (SDDC). The PRP identifies specific facilities 
that DoD may need to support the deployment of Armed Forced of the 
United States or other emergency needs to promote the national defense. 
The collection of quarterly information is necessary to validate the 
ports' ability to provide PRP-delineated facilities to the DOD within 
the PRP-delineated timeline.
    Respondents: Strategic Commercial Seaports who have been designated 
by the Commander, SDDC and who have been issued a PRP by MARAD.
    Affected Public: Strategic Commercial Seaports.
    Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 17.
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 4.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 1 Hour.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 68.
    Public Comments Invited: Comments are invited on: Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the 
Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed information 
collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
