The collection of information requires owner, operator, agent, or master of a vessel to apply in writing to the Coast Guard before commencement of the inspection for certification, when a waiver is desired from the requirements of navigation and vessel in- spection, or to request a Continuous Synopsis Record.
The change in burden (i.e., increase) is an ADJUSTMENT due to several factors. First, an increase in vessel population. Second, a change in the Coast Guard's data collection method which enabled us to more accurately capture additional subpopulations not previously accounted for during data queries.
