Short Statement:
The change (i.e., increase) in hour burden is strictly due to an increase in the vessel population. The Coast Guard now uses a relatively new data base--MISLE--for estimating vessel populations and this allows us to more accurately estimate the vessels impacted by this COI. The methodology for estimating hour burden per respondent per year remains unchanged. The change in the number of responses is due to a change in the methodology used to determine number of Refuse Discharge Log (RDL) responses. Previously, the Coast Guard estimated the number of annual RDL responses as equal to the number of respondents. In this periodic renewal, we have changed the methodology to account for the estimated number of recordkeeping actions taken by each respondent for a year. Thus, instead of 1 response per respondent per year, we are estimating about 417 responses per respondent per year. We believe this more accurately reflects the amount of activity needed to comply with the RDL recordkeeping requirement. As stated above, the methodology for estimating hour burden per respondent per year remains unchanged. We have before, and continue, to estimate RDL hour burden per action (now equal to a response).
