IAW Title 46 CFR Parts 10, 11, 12, 13, and 16, the collection of this information is necessary to determine competency, character & physical qualifications for the issuance of a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) or Medical Certificate.
This request is being submitted in association with the Final Rule,RIN 1625âAA16, Implementation of the Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978,and Changes to National Endorsements
There is an adjustment (increase) in the respondent's burden as a result of the 12,000 respondents (CG-719K & CG-719K/E) that were not accounted for in the last Supporting Statement, but were accounted for in the table above. . The optional form CG-719C will not contribute to a burden increase because the information was required to be provided previously by the applicant in a format of their choosing attached to the application. By instituting a form this will allow faster and more consistent processing and support the future movement to a wholly electronic application system.

The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:

(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
