    Title: Determination of Fair and Reasonable Rates for Carriage of 
Agriculture Cargoes on U.S.-Commercial Vessels--46 CFR 382.
    OMB Control Number: 2133-0514.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a Previously Approved Information 
Collection.
    Abstract: 46 U.S.C. 55305 and the Food Security Act of 1985 require 
that at least 50% of U.S. government sponsored agriculture bulk and 
packaged cargoes be shipped on U.S.-flag vessels to the extent that 
such vessels are available at fair and reasonable rates. Pursuant to 46 
CFR part 381, Government agencies must comply with the cargo preference 
laws and must submit data to the Maritime Administration (MARAD) on 
U.S. and foreign-flag carriage of preference cargoes under their 
control. Part 382 requires U.S. operators to submit specific data to 
MARAD regarding fair and reasonable guideline rates for the carriage of 
preference cargoes on U.S.-flag vessels. The collection of vessel data 
contributes toward the U.S. Department of Transportation's strategic 
goal of National Security.
    In addition, this data collection requires U.S.-flag operators to 
submit vessel-operating costs and capital costs data to MARAD officials 
on an annual basis. This information is needed by MARAD to establish 
fair and reasonable guideline rates for carriage of specific cargoes on 
U.S. vessels.
    Respondents: U.S. citizens who own and operate U.S.-flag vessels.
    Affected Public: U.S. citizens who own and operate U.S.-flag 
vessels.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 41.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 68.
    Annual Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 176.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
