SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Ocean Shipments Moving
Under Export-Import Bank Financing.
OMB Control Number: 2133–0013.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Abstract: MARAD uses this
information collection to monitor
compliance with the cargo preference
laws by parties covered under PR 17
and 46 U.S.C. 55304, compile annual
information on EXIM Bank-financed
shipments, and when applicable,
provide for an informal grievance
procedure, in the event there is a
question or complaint pertaining to
cargo preference matters.
The monthly shipping reports, with
substantiating documents provide the
only basis for MARAD to exercise its
legislative responsibility to monitor
EXIM Bank-financed cargoes that are
transported on U.S.-flag vessels,
recipient flag vessels, and on third-flag
vessels according to the determinations
and certifications of vessel nonavailability that have been granted. The
compilation of the statistics from the
shipping reports forms the basis for
determining compliance with PR 17 for
each loan participant. This information
is also provided to the EXIM Bank and
is the nucleus for conducting annual
reviews of the shipping activities of the
EXIM Bank programs.
MARAD uses the information
collected as part of the Transparency
Initiative with the EXIM Bank. MARAD
also intends to use collected
information to assist EXIM Bank
shippers with finding suitable U.S.-flag
vessels and resolving requests for
certifications of non-availability.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: MARAD Mariner Preparedness
Exercise Survey (Mariner PrepEx
Survey).
OMB Control Number: 2133–0550.
Type of Request: Extension with
change of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The Mariner PrepEx Survey
is a component of MARAD’s Mariner
Preparedness Exercise Program. The
survey will be conducted on a voluntary
basis and provide vital information to
the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) program.
Periodic surveying is necessary in view
of the dynamics that affect the RRF
program, which include changes in the
RRF fleet composition, readiness status,
ship location, as well as changes to the
seafaring manpower base. The survey is
an integral part of the Mariner
Preparedness Exercise Program and is
designed to gauge mariner’s training and
military experience levels, willingness
to participate in time of national need,
and awareness of working in a contested
environment.
Respondents: Merchant Mariners.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,750.
Estimated Number of Responses:
1,750.
Estimated Hours per Response: 0.0833
(5 minutes).
Annual Estimated Total Annual
Burden Hours: 145.83/146 hours.
Frequency of Response: Once
Annually.
A 60-day Federal Register Notice
soliciting comments on this information
collection was published on October 2,
2025, (FR 47899, Vol. 90, No. 189). The
posting received one non-substantive
comment commending the minor
changes to the survey and
recommending a reduction of the
reported public burden to ensure
participation in the survey. In response,
MARAD clarified that total respondents
and burden hours were increased to
reflect the potential expansion of the
RRF fleet, which will require more
mariners and crew aboard additional
vessels. However, the total time taken to
complete the survey (i.e., five (5)
