First, the change (i.e., increase) in hour burden is a PROGRAM CHANGE due to the BWDS rulemaking [USCG-2001-10486; RIN 1625-AA32]. The new reporting requirement- • allow a vessel owner/operator to request compliance extension. The final rule's new collection of information is a result of public comments received in the NPRM. In this final rule, we have included a paperwork provision to allow a vessel owner/operator to request an extension if they cannot practicably comply with the compliance date otherwise applicable to their vessel. This extension provision gives flexibility to vessel owners and operators to comply with this rule. Second, listed below are additional revisions to the collection- • Coast Guard has developed an Instruction sheet. • Updates are provided for cost burden and government cost associated with this collection of information. Third, the BWM reporting requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged.
