Information Collection Request

    Title: Various International Agreement Pollution Prevention 
Certificates and Documents, and Equivalency Certificates.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0041.
    Summary: Required by the adoption of the International Convention 
for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78) and other 
international treaties, these certificates and documents are evidence 
of compliance for U.S. vessels on international voyages. Without the 
proper certificates or documents, a U.S. vessel could be detained in a 
foreign port.
    Need: Compliance with treaty requirements aids in the prevention of 
pollution from ships.
    Forms:
     CG-5352, International Oil Pollution Prevention 
Certificate.
     CG-5352A, Form A Supplement to the International Oil 
Pollution Prevention Certificate (IOPP Certificate).
     CG-5352B, Form B Supplement to the International Oil 
Pollution Prevention Certificate (IOPP Certificate).
     CG-6047, International Sewage Pollution Prevention 
Equivalency Certificate.

operators a way to document equivalent compliance with the Hong Kong 
International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound 
Recycling of Ships, 2009 (Hong Kong (HK) Convention). The form may aid 
a U.S. vessel during a foreign Port State Control boarding.
    Respondents: Owners, operators, or masters of vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 2,993 
hours to 4,350 hours, due to an increase in the estimated number of 
responses. In addition, the estimated burden has increased by 19 hours, 
due to a new optional form--the International Certificate on Inventory 
of Hazardous Materials (Statement of Voluntary Compliance) (form CG-
16478). The total estimated burden is 4,369 hours.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35, as amended, and is 33 U.S.C. 1901-1911
