The OSV posting/marking requirements are needed to provide instructions to those on board of actions to be taken in the event of an emergency. The reporting/recordkeeping requirements verify compliance with regulations without CG presence to witness routine matters, including OSVs based overseas as an alternative to CG reinspection.
The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT due to a change in vessel population. Over time the CG has maintained vessel data on several agency databases. With each transition from one database to another, the amount of vessel data (e.g. level of detail) and the method for making data extractions has changed. Most recently the database change was from MSIS to MISLE. MISLE is able to house more details on vessel types and descriptions. In some cases data calls include vessels that may not have been available under a less refined database such as MSIS. As a result, the recent shift from MSIS to MISLE is the cause for the increase in vessel population.
