This collection of information requires an owner or builder of a commercial vessel to submit to the U.S. Coast Guard for review and approval, plans pertaining to marine engineering systems to ensure tha the vessel will meet regulatory standards. Respondents are owners and builders of commercial vessels.
The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT due to a decrease in the estimated number of plans to be submitted to the CG annually. The change in the number of respondents is due to a change in the procedure used to count the number of unique respondentsÂneeded to eliminate double-counting. Double counting can occur when the same submitter uses two slightly different names (e.g. Joe instead of Joseph). The new procedure assures that such double counting is unlikely to occur. For this reason, however, there is a change in the number of respondents.
