This notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an

Collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the Collection;

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of information

subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the

Collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection

techniques or other forms of information technology. These comments

will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred to in this

Notice.

Information Collection Request

Title: Report of Oil or Hazardous Substance Discharge; and Report

of Suspicious Maritime Activity.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0096.

Summary: Any discharge of oil or a hazardous substance must be

reported to the National Response Center (NRC) so that the pre-

designated on-scene coordinator can be informed and appropriate spill

mitigation action carried out. The NRC also receives suspicious

activity reports from the public and disseminates this information to

appropriate entities.

Need: 33 CFR 153.203, 40 CFR 263.30 and 264.56, and 49 CFR 171.15

mandate that the NRC be the central place for the public to report all

pollution spills. 33 CFR 101.305 mandates that owners or operators of

those vessels or facilities required to have security plans, report

activities that may result in a Transportation Security Incident (TSI)

or breaches of security to the NRC. Voluntary reports are also

accepted.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Persons-in-charge of a vessel or onshore/offshore

facility; owners or operators of vessels or facilities required to have

security plans; and the public.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 3,683

hours to 3,905 hours a year, due to an increase in the estimated annual

number of responses.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq.,

chapter 35, as amended.
