Information Collection Request
Title:
Applications for Vessel Inspection, Waiver and Continuous Synopsis Record.
OMB Control Number:
1625-0002.
Summary:
The collection of information requires the owner, operator, agent, or master of a vessel to apply in writing to the Coast Guard before the commencement of an inspection for certification, when a waiver is desired from the requirements of navigation and vessel inspection, or to request a Continuous Synopsis Record.
Need:46 U.S.C. 3306 authorizes the Coast Guard to establish regulations to protect life, property, and the environment. The reporting requirements are part of the Coast Guard's Marine Safety Program.
Forms:
CG-2633, Application for Waiver and Waiver Order.
CG-3752, Application for Inspection of U.S. Vessel.
CG-6039, Application for Continuous Synopsis Record.
Respondents:
Vessel owner, operator, agent, master or interested U.S. Government agency.
Frequency:
On occasion, annually, or on a 5-year cycle.
Hour Burden Estimate:
The estimated burden has increased from 745 hours to 1,005 hours per year due to an increase in the estimated annual number of responses.
To streamline the inspection application process, the Coast Guard updated form CG-3752 (
Application for Inspection of U.S. Vessel). This update consolidates the original form and form CG-3752A (
Application for Inspection of U.S. Vessel (New Construction)) into a single, two-page document.
Respondents only complete the second page if a U.S. vessel is under new construction or entering certificated service. Table 1 shows the updated features and benefits to the public and the Coast Guard.
