Information Collection Request

    Title: Maritime Transportation System Recovery Essential Elements 
of Information.
    OMB Control Number: 1625--New.
    Summary: This collection captures data on facilities, vessels, and 
shared transportation infrastructure prior to a port disruption to be 
able to characterize the port in its normal fully functioning 
condition.
    Need: 33 U.S.C. 1225, 46 U.S.C. 70103, and 50 U.S.C. 191 require 
the U.S. Coast Guard to take action to prevent damage to, or the 
destruction of, bridges, other structures, on or in navigable waters or 
shore area adjacent; to minimize damage from and respond to a 
transportation security incident; and to safeguard against destruction 
of vessels, harbors, ports and waterfront facilities in the United 
States and all territorial waters during a national emergency. To be 
prepared to execute these responsibilities, the U.S. Coast Guard needs 
to establish the normal fully functioning condition of a port prior to 
a port disruption. Then, following a port disruption, the U.S. Coast 
Guard may be able to compare the normal port condition to the disrupted 
port condition, enabling the Marine Transportation System Recovery Unit 
(MTSRU) to assist in prioritizing recovery efforts, and gauge the 
effectiveness of the response.
    Forms: CG-11410, Marine Transportation System Recovery Essential 
Elements of Information and CG-11410A, Marine Transportation System 
Recovery Facility Status.
    Respondents: Owners or operators of United States waterfront 
facilities.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: This is a new information collection. The 
estimated burden is 2,250 hours a year.

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

    Dated: February 6, 2017.

U.S. Coast Guard, Chief Information Officer.
