Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 172 / Thursday, September 4, 2008 / Notices 51643 

Affected Public: Merchant marine 

training schools. 

Abstract: The information is needed 

to ensure merchant marine training 

schools meet minimal statutory 

requirements. The information is used 

to approve the curriculum, facility, and 

faculty for these schools. Section 7315 

of 46 U.S.C. authorizes an applicant for 

a license or document to substitute the 

completion of an approved course for a 

portion of the required sea service. 

Section 10.302 of 46 CFR contains the 

Coast Guard regulations for course 

approval. 

Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has increased from 27,675 hours 

to 97,260 hours per year. 

2. Title: Ships’ Stores Certification for 

Hazardous Materials Aboard Ships. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0034. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Suppliers and 

manufacturers of hazardous products 

used on ships. 

Abstract: The information is needed 

to ensure personnel aboard ships are 

made aware of the proper usage and 

stowage instructions for certain 

hazardous materials. Provisions are 

made for waivers of products in special 

DOT hazard classes. Section 3306 of 46 

U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to 

prescribe regulations for the 

transportation, stowage, and use of 

ships’ stores and supplies of a 

dangerous nature. Part 147 of 46 CFR 

contains the regulations for hazardous 

ships’ stores. 

Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has increased from 9 hours to 12 

hours per year. 

3. Title: Ports and Waterways Safety—

Title 33 CFR Subchapter P. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0043. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Master, owner, or 

agent of a vessel. 

Abstract: 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. Provisions in 

33 CFR chapter I, subchapter P, allow 

any person directly affected by the rules 

therein to request a deviation from any 

of the requirements as long as it does 

not compromise safety. This collection 

enables the Coast Guard to evaluate 

information the respondent supplies for 

determination of whether it justifies the 

request for a deviation. 

Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has decreased from 3,171 hours 

to 2,865 hours per year. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as 

amended. 

Dated: August 27, 2008.
