LOGBOOK FAMILY OF FORMS - AMENDMENT 1
Revision of a currently approved collection   No

Disapproved and continue 03/17/1986
Retrieve Notice of Action (NOA) 01/24/1986
The regulations implementing the Paperwork Reduction Act prohibit an agency from collecting information that duplicates information otherwi accessible to the agency (5 CFR 1320.4). The proposed collection woul result in substantial duplication with at least one other collection already in place: 0648-0052. The supporting statement does not adequately address why the existing collection is not sufficient for NOAAs needs or why it cannot be modified. Nor does it explain how the information it would collect is "more precise" than what is already being collected (this being one of the reasons for instituting the proposed collection). While the accompanying regulation alludes to th selection of a sample, the statement says the collection does not employ statistical methods and that all individuals involved will be sampled. No explanation is provided as to why a sample would not be sufficient. In addition, the statement does not explain the need for a mandatory collection.
