Short Statement: The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT due to a change (i.e., decrease) in the estimated annual number of respondents.

The reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged. In this ICR, we have dropped the reference to 2 Coast Guard forms as these forms are accounted for under COI 1625-0002. The forms are-the Application for Inspection of U.S. Vessels (CG-3752) and Application for Inspection of U.S. Vessels (New Construction)(CG-3752A).
