The change (i.e., increase) in burden is both an ADJUSTMENT and a PROGRAM CHANGE. The adjustment is due to rounding up of calculations in Appendix A Table 4. The program change is due to the Prong V Final Rule. This rule requires that vessel owners and/or operators ensure that inspection, maintenance and recharging of fire extinguishers are carried out in accordance with NFPA 10: 2010. NFPA 10 requires that the annual maintenance and recharging of fire extinguishers be done by certified persons. As such, vessel owners and/or operators are required to keep on file a copy of the NFPA 10 certificate for the individual conducting the annual maintenance.
