Short Statement:
The average estimated number of responses increased to 9,661 a year. This is an update due to increased marine traffic on the Great Lakes, higher number of pilots providing pilotage services, and better record keeping in the past four years. The information requested from the respondents has not changed. The total annual burden hours decreased to 1,455 hours because the pilot districts engaged in using the new electronic dispatching/invoicing/billing system. The new system required the pilots to accept and enter data for the pilotage jobs. The capital and startup costs changed because the Great Lakes Pilotage Advisory Committee recommended the pilot associations adopt new software to provide data to the GLPMS. This new software was developed and is maintained by the three pilot associations. Also, this software is providing better real time data adding to better record keeping. The information gathered on this new software has not changed from the previous software.
