Short Statement:
The change in burden is due to PROGRAM changes as proposed by the Supplementary Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) entitled "Implementation of the Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, and Changes to Domestic Endorsements" [Docket No. USCG-2004-17914; RIN 1625-AA16], where training providers offering STCW courses must: 1) write and maintain a QSS manual on those courses; 2) arrange an internal audit of each Coast Guard approved STCW course twice every five years; and 3) keep the audit records for Coast Guard inspection as needed. As proposed, these changes impose additional reporting and recordkeeping burden.
