Short Statement:
Update to Type Approval Requirements rulemaking that will result in a change (i.e., decrease) in the estimated annual number of responses. The rulemaking proposed to update the type approval requirements for certain types of equipment that survival craft are required to carry on U.S.-flagged vessels. The proposed rule is deregulatory and would remove Coast Guard type approval requirements for nine of these types of survival craft equipment and replace them with the requirement that the manufacturer self-certify that the equipment complies with a consensus standard. The change in burden is also an ADJUSTMENT due to the correction of an error that will result in a change (i.e., decrease) in the estimated annual number of responses.
