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 Collection, 
and other important information describing the Collection. There is one 
ICR for each Collection.
    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether this ICR should be 
granted based on the Collection being necessary for 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. In response to 
your comments, we may revise this ICR or decide not to seek an 
extension of approval for the Collection. 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-2018-0791], and 
must be received by November 6, 2018.

Submitting Comments

    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking

Information Collection Request

    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 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 verify 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, Official Logbook.
    Respondents: Shipping companies.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated annual burden remains at 1,750 
hours a year.

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

    Dated: August 30, 2018.
