Miscellaneous Actions
The change in burden is a PROGRAM CHANGE due to the 1625-AC63 PMC rulemaking. • Program Change – decrease of 154 hours – is due to the change (i.e., extension from 2 to 5 years) of the validity period of medical certificates for certain mariners. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged. In addition to the rulemaking Program Change above, the Coast Guard in April 2025 decommissioned the Homeport website. This site provided, among other things, a web-based method for mariners to "check" on their credential application status. While this method is no longer available, the Coast Guard provides "status checks" via phone, email and Live Chat. Details are at—Homeport. Status checks are not a required element of credential application process, and the Coast Guard considers the removal of the Homeport web-based method as imposing no extra burden to mariners.
