This information is needed to ensure that: (1) certain US vsls develop and maintain a waste plan; (2) certain US vsls maintain refuse discharge records; (3) certain individuals that act as fuel transfer PIC receive a letter of instruction for prevention of pollution; (4) certain Great Lakes vsls conduct dry cargo residue recordkeeping.
First, the change (i.e., increase) in hour burden is a PROGRAM CHANGE due to the DCR rulemaking [USCG-2004-19621; RIN 1625-AA89]. The rulemaking proposes changes to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of this collection by-
 Requiring the development of a DCR Management Plan
 Eliminating the use of form CG-33 and the quarterly reporting of that info to the Coast Guard. Info must still be maintained on board the vessel for inspection by the Coast Guard.
 Allowing DCR recordkeeping in any format (i.e., hard copy or electronic).
Second, listed below are additional revisions to the collection-
 Changed title to reflect previously approved program change (ICR Ref. No. 200806-1625-002).
o Old title was-Waste Management Plans, Refuse Discharge Logs, and Letters of Intruction for Certain Persons-in-Charge (PIC).
o New title is- Waste Management Plans, Refuse Discharge Logs, Letters of Instruction for Certain Persons-in-Charge (PIC) and Great Lakes Dry Cargo Residue Recordkeeping.
 Coast Guard has revised the Instruction sheet for this collection to include the proposed DRC Management Plan requirement.
Third, the methodology for calculating burden remain unchanged.
