Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Coast Guard Keeps CSM Reporting
The Coast Guard asked OMB to extend approval to keep collecting Cargo Securing Manuals (OMB Control Number 1625-0122) with no changes. If you are an owner, operator, or master of certain cargo vessels, you must continue to submit new or updated Cargo Securing Manuals as required under 33 CFR 97.
Estimated Paperwork Burden Drops
The Coast Guard says the estimated annual hour burden for this collection decreased from 280 hours to 260 hours per year due to a drop in the number of CSM submissions. That change reduces the total paperwork time by 20 hours per year for all respondents combined.
