The Coast Guard announces that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the amendment of an existing collection of information, as requested by the Coast Guard and described in the final rule published on July 16, 2013. The final rule revised safety regulations for facility and vessel vapor control systems (VCSs) to promote safe VCS operation in an expanded range of activities now subject to current Federal and State environmental requirements, reflect industry advances in VCS technology, and codify the standards for the design and operation of a VCS at tank barge cleaning facilities. The revised regulations increase operational safety by regulating the design, installation, and use of VCSs, but they do not require anyone to install or use VCSs. The OMB must approve any regulatory provisions that constitute a collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act, before an agency can enforce those provisions. Having received OMB's approval, the Coast Guard will now enforce collection of information requirements in the final rule. This rulemaking promotes the Coast Guard's maritime safety and stewardship missions.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; information collection approval.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces that the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) has approved the amendment of an existing collection of 
information, as requested by the Coast Guard and described in the final 
rule published on July 16, 2013. The final rule revised safety 
regulations for facility and vessel vapor control systems (VCSs) to 
promote safe VCS operation in an expanded range of activities now 
subject to current Federal and State environmental requirements, 
reflect industry advances in VCS technology, and codify the standards 
for the design and operation of a VCS at tank barge cleaning 
facilities. The revised regulations increase operational safety by 
regulating the design, installation, and use of VCSs, but they do not 
require anyone to install or use VCSs. The OMB must approve any 
regulatory provisions that constitute a collection of information under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act, before an agency can enforce those 
provisions. Having received OMB's approval, the Coast Guard will now 
enforce collection of information requirements in the final rule. This 
rulemaking promotes the Coast Guard's maritime safety and stewardship 
missions.

DATES: The collection of information requirements contained in the July 
16, 2013 final rule (78 FR 42596) and approved by the OMB as an 
amendment to existing collection of information, control number 1625-
0060, will be enforced beginning September 10, 2015. The requirements 
include provisions for VCS certifications, recertifications, periodic 
operational reviews, approval requests, reviews of operating manuals, 
failure analyses, operational review letters, and relabeling. These 
requirements aid the Coast Guard and industry in ensuring industry's 
regulatory compliance and safe practices in connection with VCSs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard's final rule, 78 FR 42596 
(July 16, 2013), contained information collection provisions that 
cannot be enforced against any member of the public until OMB approves 
those provisions and assigns one or more OMB control numbers. The OMB 
has now approved those provisions and assigned OMB Control Number 1625-
0060, and the Coast Guard will enforce them beginning September 10, 
2015.
