DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

The Department of Defense has

submitted to OMB for clearance, the

following proposal for collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35).

Title, Form Number, and OMB

Number: Shipper’s Export Declaration

(SED) Program; ENG Form 7513; OMB

Number 0710–[To be Determined].

Type of Request: New Collection.

Number of Respondents: 13,000.

Responses Per Respondent: 12.

Annual Responses: 164,367.

Average Burden Per Response: 11

minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 29,737.

Needs and Uses: The data collected

are movements of foreign cargo from

one foreign country to another foreign

country through a U.S. water port. Since

goods are neither produced nor

consumed in the U.S., they do not count

in the balance of trade statistics, but are

important from a water transportation

standpoint. Vessels moving these goods

are federally maintained channels, and

these goods should be included in

federal water transportation in multimodal transportation analysis. The

Army Corps of Engineers and Maritime

Administration (MARAD) use the data

from the program to satisfy the missions

of their respective agencies. The Corps

is responsible for the operation and

maintenance of the nation’s waterway

system to ensure efficient and safe

passage of commercial and recreation

vessels. The support and management of

economically sound navigation projects

are dependent upon reliable navigation

data mandated by the River and Harbor

Appropriations Act of September 22,

1922 (42 Stat. 1043), as amended and

codified in 33 U.S.C. 555.

Affected Public: Business or Other

For-Profit.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Jim Laity.

Written comments and

recommendations on the proposed

information collection should be sent to

Mr. Laity at the Office of Management

and Budget, Desk Officer for the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, Room 10202,

New Executive Office Building,

Washington, DC 20503.

DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert

Cushing.

Written requests for copies of the

information collection proposal should

be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR,

1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite

1204, Arlington, VA 22202–4302.

Dated: October 11, 2000.
