SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Quarterly Readiness of Strategic Seaport Facilities 
Reporting.
    OMB Control Number: 2133-0548.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a Previously Approved Information 
Collection.
    Abstract: Pursuant to the Defense Production Act of 1950, as 
amended (Pub. L. 111-67), E.O. 13603, E.O. 12656 and 46 CFR part 340, 
MARAD works with the DoD to ensure national defense preparedness. 
Accordingly, MARAD issues Port Planning Orders (PPOs) to Department of 
Defense-designated Strategic Commercial Seaports in order to provide 
the Department of Defense (DoD) port facilities in support of military 
deployments during national emergencies. The collection of quarterly 
information is necessary to validate the port's ability to provide the 
PPO delineated facilities to the DoD within the PPO delineated time 
frame.
    Quarterly reports will seek information related to berthing 
capability, staging and general availability of the port by readiness 
hours.
    Respondents: Strategic Commercial Seaports who have been designated 
by the Commander, Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command 
(SDDC) and who have been issued a PPO by MARAD.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 16.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 4.
    Estimated Hours per Response: 1 hour.
    Annual Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 64.
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
