Public Participation and Request for

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

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. 

James D. Roppel, 

U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Chief, Office of 

Information Management.
