The information sought here is needed to ensure compliance with our rules on electrical engineering for the design and construction of U.S. flag commercial vessels. Respondents are owners, operators, and builders of vessels.
The change (i.e., increase) in the number of responses and the hour burden is an ADJUSTMENT and is strictly due to an increase in the number of electrical engineering plans submitted for review. This increase may be due to higher than normal shipyard activity. The methodology for estimating hour burden per response per year remains unchanged.
