Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden is both an ADJUSTMENT and a PROGRAM CHANGE (see section 8). The Adjustment results in a reduction in burden (-140,245 hours) and is due to a reduction in the number of responses in VRP (TVRP & NTVRP), FRP and SOPEP/SMPEP. The Program Change results in an increase in burden (+202 hours) and is due to the inclusion of alternatives/waivers that were previously unaccounted for in the collection. The following items listed below are changes to the collection: • Updated to account for alternatives/waivers. • Combined TVRP & NTVRP elements into VRP for calculation/summary purposes as the method for estimating burden is the same. • Aligned with other new/1-year/5-year resubmit plan cycles. • Simplified to account for several rulemakings now approved and incorporated into ICR. • Updated to account for a new voluntary industry practice by certain SMFF resource providers. • Updated to account for SMPEP activities. • Updates are provided for cost burden associated with this collection of information. • The Coast Guard has updated printable instructions for this collection of information.
