Information Collection Request

    Title: Adequacy Certification for Reception Facilities and Advance 
Notice--33 CFR part 158.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0045.
    Summary: This information helps ensure that waterfront facilities 
are in compliance with reception facility standards. Advance notice 
information from vessels ensure effective management of reception 
facilities.
    Need: Section 1905 of Title 33 U.S.C. gives the Coast Guard the 
authority to certify the adequacy of reception facilities in ports. 
Reception facilities are needed to receive waste from ships which may 
not discharge at sea. Under the regulations in 33 CFR part 158 there 
are discharge limitations for oil and oily waste, noxious liquid 
substances, plastics and other garbage.

    Forms:
     CG-5401, Certificate of Adequacy for Reception Facility
     CG-5401A, Application for a Reception Facility Certificate 
of Adequacy (COA) for Oil, Form A
     CG-5401B, Application for a Reception Facility Certificate 
of Adequacy (COA) for Noxious Liquid Substance (NLS) Residues and 
Mixtures Containing NLS Residues, Form B
     CG-5401C, Application for a Reception Facility Certificate 
of Adequacy for Garbage, Form C
     CG-5401D, Application for a Reception Facility Certificate 
of Adequacy for Ozone Depletion Substances and Exhaust Gas Cleaning 
System Residue, Form D
     CG-5401X, Certificate of Adequacy (COA) Application

    Why is the Coast Guard proposing a new form: The Coast Guard is 
adding a new optional form CG-5401X to streamline the application 
process. The new form may be used when a facility is applying for more 
than one COA type (i.e., MARPOL Annex category). The COA types are--Oil 
Residue (Annex I), Noxious Liquid Substances (Annex II), Garbage (Annex 
V), Ozone Depleting Substances (Annex VI) and Exhaust Gas Cleaning 
Systems (Annex VI).
    Respondents: Owners and operators of reception facilities, and 
owners and operators of vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 4,167 
hours to 3,963 hours a year, due to the estimated decrease in time to 
complete a COA application.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq., 
chapter 35, as amended.
