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

the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection, 
and other important information describing the Collection. There is one

the proper performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the 
Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical 
utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of 
the Collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of information subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the 
burden of the Collection on respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. These 
comments will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred 
to in this Notice.
    We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments 
and related materials. Comments to Coast Guard or OIRA must contain the 
OMB Control Number of the ICR. They must also contain the docket number

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (80 FR 42509, July 17, 2015) 
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no comments. 
Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.

Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Defect/Noncompliance Report and Campaign Update Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0010.
    Summary: Manufacturers whose products contain defects that create a 
substantial risk of personal injury to the public or fail to comply 
with an applicable Coast Guard safety standard are required to conduct 
defect notification and recall campaigns in accordance with 46 U.S.C. 
4310. Regulations in 33 CFR 179 require manufacturers to submit certain 
reports to the Coast Guard concerning progress made in notifying owners 
and making repairs.
    Need: Under 46 U.S.C. 4310(d) and (e); and 33 CFR 179.13 and 
179.15, the manufacturer shall provide the Commandant of the Coast 
Guard with an initial report consisting of certain information about 
the defect notification and recall campaign being conducted and follow 
up reports describing progress. Upon receipt of information from a 
manufacturer indicating the initiation of a recall, the Recreational 
Boating Product Assurance Branch assigns a recall campaign number, and 
sends the manufacturer CG Forms CG-4917 and CG-4918 for supplying the 
information.
    Forms: CG-4917, Defect/Noncompliance Report and CG-4918, Campaign 
Update Report.

    Respondents: Manufacturers of boats and certain items of 
``designated'' associated equipment (inboard engines, outboard motors, 
sterndrive engines or an inflatable personal flotation device approved 
under 46 CFR 160.076).
    Frequency: This Information Collection has recordkeeping 
requirements. The frequency for reporting is Quarterly.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 252 
hours to 207 hours annually. The number of campaigns has decreased due 
to the pro-active nature of the Coast Guard factory inspectors who 
detect and correct recreational boat deficiencies before a watercraft 
is placed in the market for sale.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: November 10, 2015.
Thomas P. Michelli,
U.S. Coast Guard, Deputy Chief Information Officer.
