SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to 
OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard 
collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information 
describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on 
the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the 
Collections, and other important information describing the 
Collections. There is one ICR for each Collection.
    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether these ICRs should be 
granted based on the Collections being necessary for the proper 
performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard 
would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the 
Collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the 
Collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
information subject to the Collections; and (4) ways to minimize the 
burden of the Collections on respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology. In response to your comments, we may revise these ICRs or 
decide not to seek approval of revisions of the Collections. We will 
consider all comments and material received during the comment period.
    We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments 
and related materials. Comments must contain the OMB Control Number of 
the ICR and the docket number of this request, [USCG-2015-0070], and

Information Collection Requests

    1. Title: Shipping Articles.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0006.
    Summary: Title 46 United States Code 10302 and 10502 and Title 46 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 14.201 requires applicable owners, 
charterers, managing operators, masters, or individuals in charge to 
make a shipping agreement in writing with each seaman before the seaman 
commences employment. Additionally, 46 CFR 14.313 requires shipping 
companies to submit to the Coast Guard Shipping Articles three years 
after the article was generated; or submitted by shipping companies 
that go out of business or merges with another company; or upon request 
by the Coast Guard. Upon receipt and acceptance, Shipping Articles are 
transferred and archived at the Federal Records Center in Suitland, 
Maryland.
    Need: This collection provides verification, identification, 
location and employment information of U.S. merchant mariners to the 
following: (1) Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies for 
use in criminal or civil law enforcement purpose, (2) shipping 
companies, (3) labor unions, (4) seaman's authorized representatives, 
(5) seaman's next of kin, (6) whenever the disclosure of such 
information would be in the best interest of the seaman or his/her 
family.
    Forms: CG-705A.
    Respondents: Shipping companies.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 18,000 hours a year.
    2. Title: Official Logbook.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0018.
    Summary: The Official Logbook contains information about the 
voyage, the vessel's crew, drills, watches and operations conducted 
during the voyage. Official Logbook entries identify particulars of the 
voyage, including the name of the ship, official number, port of 
registry, tonnage, names and merchant mariner credential numbers of the 
master and crew, the nature of the voyage, and class of ship. In 
addition, it also contains entries for the vessel's drafts, maintenance 
of watertight integrity of the ship, drills and inspections, crew list 
and report of character, a summary of laws applicable to Official 
Logbooks, and miscellaneous entries.
    Need: Title 46 United States Code (U.S.C.) 11301, 11302, 11303, and 
11304 require applicable merchant vessels to maintain an Official 
Logbook. The Official Logbook contains information about the vessel, 
voyage, crew, and watch. Lack of these particulars would make it 
difficult for a seaman to certify vessel employment and wages, and for 
the Coast Guard to verify compliance with laws and regulations 
concerning vessel operations and safety procedures. The Official 
Logbook serves as an official record of recordable events transpiring 
at sea such as births, deaths, marriages, disciplinary actions, etc. 
Absent the Official Logbook, there would be no official civil record of 
these events. The courts accept log entries as proof that the logged 
event occurred. If this information was not collected, the Coast 
Guard's Commercial Vessel Safety Program would be negatively impacted, 
as there would be no official record of U.S. merchant vessel voyages. 
Similarly, those seeking to prove that an event required to be logged 
occurred would not have an official record available.
    Forms: CG-706B.
    Respondents: Shipping companies.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 1,750 hours a year.
