*Frequency:*                     On occasion.                

*Burden Estimate:*                     The estimated burden has increased from 1,601 hours to 1,642 hours a year due to an increase in the estimated annual number of respondents.                

                    2.                     *Title:*                     Ports and Waterways Safety—Title 33 CFR subchapter P.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1625-0043.                

*Summary:*                     This collection of information allows the master, owner, or agent of a vessel affected by these rules to request a deviation from the requirements governing navigation safety equipment to the extent that there is no reduction in safety.

This collection enables the Coast Guard to evaluate the information the respondent supplies, to determine whether it justifies the request for a deviation.                

*Forms:*                     NONE.

*Burden Estimate:*                     The estimated burden has decreased from 2,447 hours to 2,110 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual number of responses.                

                    3.                     *Title:*                     Outer Continental Shelf Activities—Title 33 CFR subchapter N.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1625-0044.

*Need:*                     The information is needed to ensure compliance with the safety regulations related to OCS activities.

                    4.                     *Title:*                     Alternate Compliance Program.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1625-0081.                

*Summary:*                     This information is used by the Coast Guard to assess vessels participating in the voluntary Alternate Compliance Program (ACP) before issuance of a Certificate of Inspection.                

*Need:*                     Sections 3306 and 3316 of 46 U.S.C. authorize the Coast Guard to establish vessel inspection regulations and inspection alternatives.

                    5.                     *Title:*                     Crewmember Identification Documents.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1625-0113.                

*Summary:*                     This information collection covers the requirement that crewmembers on vessels calling at U.S. ports must carry and present on demand an identification that allows the identity of crewmembers to be authoritatively validated.                

*Need:*                     Title 46 U.S.C. 70111 mandated that the Coast Guard establish regulation about crewmember identification. The regulations are in 33 CFR part 160 subpart D.

*Burden Estimate:*                     The estimated burden has increased from 30,275 hours to 34,293 hours a year due to an increase in the estimated time to acquire an acceptable identification document.                

*Authority:*                     The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
