1For example, collections that collect PII to 

provide remuneration for participants of focus 

groups and cognitive laboratory studies will be 

submitted under this request. All Privacy Act 

requirements will be met. 

2As defined in OMB and Agency Information 

Quality Guidelines, ‘‘influential’’ means that ‘‘an 

agency can reasonably determine that 

dissemination of the information will have or does 

have a clear and substantial impact on important 

public policies or important private sector 

decisions.’’ 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FDA’s functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Generic Clearance for Quantitative 

Testing for the Development of FDA 

Communications 

OMB Control Number 0910–0865— 

Extension 

This notice requests extension of 

OMB approval of the FDA information 

collection for a generic clearance that 

allows FDA to use quantitative social/ 

behavioral science data collection 

techniques (i.e., surveys and 

experimental studies) to test consumers’ 

reactions to FDA communications or 

educational messaging about FDAregulated food and cosmetic products, 

dietary supplements, and animal food 

and feed. To ensure that 

communications activities and 

educational campaigns have the highest 

potential to be received, understood, 

and accepted by those for whom they 

are intended, it is important to assess 

communications while they are under 

development. Understanding 

consumers’ attitudes, motivations, and 

behaviors in response to potential 

communications and education 

messaging plays an important role in 

improving FDA’s communications. 

If the following conditions are not 

met, FDA will submit an information 

collection request to OMB for approval 

through the normal PRA process: 

• The collections are voluntary; 

• The collections are low burden for 

participants (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

participants, or burden hours per 

participant) and are low cost for both 

the participants and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collections are 

noncontroversial; 

• Personally-identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary 1 and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 2

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative findings; the collections will 

not be designed or expected to yield 

statistical data or used as though the 

results are generalizable to the 

population of study. 

To obtain approval for an individual 

generic collection submission that meets 

the conditions of this generic clearance, 

an abbreviated supporting statement 

will be submitted to OMB along with 

supporting documentation (e.g., a copy 

of the survey or experimental design 

and stimuli for testing). 

FDA will submit individual 

quantitative collections under this 

generic clearance to OMB. Individual 

quantitative collections will also 

undergo review by FDA’s Research 

Involving Human Subjects Committee, 

senior leadership in the Center for Food 

Safety and Applied Nutrition, and PRA 

specialists. 

Respondents to this collection of 

information may include a wide range 

of consumers and other FDA 

stakeholders such as producers and 

manufacturers who are regulated under 

FDA-regulated food and cosmetic 

products, dietary supplements, and 

animal food and feed. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows:

1There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. 

Based on a review of the information 

collection since our last request for 

OMB approval, we have made no 

adjustments to our burden estimate. The 

total estimated annual burden is 10,498 

hours. Current estimates are based on 

both historical numbers of participants 

from past projects as well as estimates 

for projects to be conducted in the next 

3 years. The number of participants to 

be included in each new survey will 

vary, depending on the nature of the 

compliance efforts and the target 

audience.

Coast Guard 

[Docket No. USCG–2021–0408] 

Guidance: Change 3 to NVIC 24–14 

Guidelines on Qualification for STCW 

Endorsements as Electro-Technical 

Rating on Vessels Powered by Main 

Propulsion Machinery of 750 KW/1,000 

HP or More 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

the availability of Change 3 to 

Navigation and Vessel Inspection 

Circular (NVIC) 24–14: Guidelines on 

Qualification for STCW Endorsements 

as Electro-Technical Rating (ETR) on 

Vessels Powered by Main Propulsion 

Machinery of 750 kW/1,000 HP or More. 

This NVIC provides guidance to 

mariners concerning STCW 

endorsements for ETR, including 

training and qualifications. This change 

notice revises NVIC 24–14 to indicate 

that the Coast Guard will allow mariners 

to qualify for an STCW endorsement as 

ETR without completing approved 

training for high voltage systems or 

computer systems and maintenance. 

DATES: The policies announced in 

Change-3 to NVIC 24–14 are effective as 

of August 26, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: To view documents 

mentioned in this notice, search the 

docket number USCG–2021–0408 using 

the Federal eRulemaking Portal at 

https://www.regulations.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information about this document, 

contact James Cavo, Mariner 

Credentialing Program Policy Division 

(CG–MMC–2), Coast Guard; telephone 

202–372–1205; email MMCPolicy@

uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast 

Guard will use NVIC 24–14 and 46 CFR 

part 12 to establish whether mariners 

are qualified to hold STCW rating 

endorsements as Electro-Technical 

Rating (ETR) on Vessels Powered by 

Main Propulsion Machinery of 750 kW/ 

1,000 HP or More. As specified in 46 

CFR 12.611, mariners seeking this 

endorsement must complete an 

approved training for High Voltage 

Systems and Computer Systems and 

Maintenance. The standards of 

competence requirements for STCW 

endorsements as ETR are found in Table 

A–III/7 of the STCW Code. That STCW 

table does not include standards of 

competence relevant to high voltage 

systems or computer systems and 

maintenance. 

The Coast Guard will not enforce the 

requirement for approved courses in 

Computer Systems and Maintenance or 

High Voltage Systems for an ETR 

endorsement because it places a higher 

training burden on U.S. mariners 

compared to what is required of the 

international maritime workforce for a 

similar endorsement. The time and cost 

for a mariner to complete these courses 

outweighs any benefit the course would 

provide because the mariner does not 

use this knowledge and proficiency in 

their ETR capacity. Therefore, we have 

determined this training requirement 

goes beyond the skillset necessary and 

the level of responsibility associated 

with an ETR endorsement, and thus is 

unnecessary and overly burdensome. 

For these reasons, this Commandant 

Change Notice will allow mariners to 

qualify for an STCW endorsement as 

ETR without completing approved 

training for computer systems and 

maintenance and for high voltage power 

systems. 

The approved High Voltage Power 

Systems training courses will still be 

required and utilized for the ElectroTechnical Officer endorsement. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
