## Information Collection Request

*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:*46 U.S.C. 3703 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe regulations related to tank vessels, including design, construction, alteration, repair, and maintenance. 46 CFR 31.10-21a prescribes the regulations related to periodic gauging and engineering analyses of certain tank vessels over 30 years old.                

*Forms:*                     None.                

*Respondents:*                     Owners and operators of certain tank vessels.                

*Frequency:*                     Every 5 years.                

*Hour Burden Estimate:*                     The estimated burden has increased from 2,784 hours to 2,842 hours a year, due to an increase in the estimated annual number of responses.                

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