Information Collection Request
Title: Report of Marine Casualty & Chemical Testing of Commercial
Vessel Personnel.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0001.
Summary: Marine casualty information is needed for CG
investigations of commercial vessel casualties involving death, vessel
damage, etc., as mandated by Congress. Chemical testing information is
needed to improve CG detection/reduction of drug use by mariners.
Need: As delegated by the Secretary of Homeland Security to the
Commandant, 46 U.S.C. 6101 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe
regulations for the reporting of marine casualties involving death,
serious injury, material loss of property, material damage affecting
the seaworthiness of a vessel, or significant harm to the environment.
It also requires information on the use of alcohol be included in a
marine casualty report. Section 7503 of title 46 of the U.S.C.,
authorizes the Coast Guard to deny the issuance of licenses,
certificates of registry, and merchant mariner's documents (seaman's
papers) to users of dangerous drugs. Similarly, 46 U.S.C. 7704 requires
the Coast Guard to revoke such papers unless a holder provides
satisfactory proofs that the holder has successfully completed a
rehabilitation program acceptable to the Coast Guard and is determined
to be, by a competent substance abuse professional, free from misuse of
chemical substances and that the risk of subsequent misuse of chemical
substances is sufficiently low to justify returning to safety-sensitive
positions.
Forms:
CG-2692, Report of Marine Casualty, Commercial Diving
Casualty, or OCS-related Casualty:
CG-2692A, Barge Addendum.
CG-2692B, Report of Mandatory Chemical Testing Following a

Respondents: Vessel owners and operators.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from
21,525 hours to 19,179 hours a year, due to a decrease in the estimated
annual number of responses.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.
Dated: September 3, 2025.
