Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT. The increase is due to the Coast Guard revising the burden estimate per response. The burden per response was increased from 3 hours to 30 hours per response to reflect the change in complexity/detail of the information provided. The three hour burden estimate had remained unchanged for approximately 20 years. This change in burden per response resulted in an increase in the estimated annual burden. Additionally, in this information collection request, the Coast Guard has dropped the reference to form CG-4355, as the document is no longer used.
