Information Collection Request 

1. Title: Periodic Gauging and 

Engineering Analyses for Certain Tank 

Vessels Over 30 Years Old. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0101. 

Summary: The Oil Pollution Act of 

1990 required the issuance of 

regulations related to the structural 

integrity of tank vessels, including 

periodic gauging of the plating thickness 

of tank vessels over 30 years old. This 

collection of information is used to 

verify the structural integrity of older 

tank vessels. 

Need: Title 46 U.S.C. section 3703 

authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe 

regulations related to tank vessels, 

including design, construction, 

alteration, repair, and maintenance. 

Title 46 CFR section 31.10–21a 

prescribes the regulations related to 

periodic gauging and engineering 

analyses for certain tank vessels over 30 

years old. 

Forms: None. 

Respondents: Owners and operators 

of certain tank vessels. 

Frequency: Every 5 years. 

Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has decreased from 13,688 hours 

to 9,918 hours a year. 

2. Title: National Response Resource 

Inventory. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0102. 

Summary: The information is needed 

to improve the effectiveness of 

deploying response equipment in the 

event of an oil spill. It may also be used 

in the development of contingency 

plans. 

Need: Section 4202 of the Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–380) 

requires the Coast Guard to compile and 

maintain a comprehensive list of spill 

removal equipment. This collection 

helps fulfill that requirement. 

Forms: None. 

Respondents: Oil spill removal 

organizations. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has increased from 1,236 hours 

to 1,296 hours a year. 

3. Title: Mandatory Ship Reporting 

System for the Northeast and Southeast 

Coasts of the United States. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0103. 

Summary: The information is needed 

to reduce the number of ship collisions 

with endangered northern right whales. 

Coast Guard rules at 33 CFR part 169 

establish two mandatory ship-reporting 

systems off the northeast and southeast 

coasts of the United States. 

Need: The collection involves ships’ 

reporting by radio to a shore-based 

authority when entering the area 

covered by the reporting system. The 

ship will receive, in return, information 

to reduce the likelihood of collisions 

between themselves and northern right 

whales—an endangered species—in the 

areas established with critical-habitat 

designation. 

Forms: None. 

Respondents: Operators of certain 

vessels. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has decreased from 226 hours to 

211 hours a year. 

Dated: January 21, 2009.
