SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Determination of Fair and Reasonable Rates for Carriage of
Agriculture Cargoes on U.S. Commercial Vessels--46 CFR.
OMB Control Number: 2133-0514.
Type of Request: Renewal of Previously approved collection.
Abstract: 46 U.S.C. 55305 and the Food Security Act of 1985 require
that at least 50% of U.S. government sponsored agriculture bulk and
packaged cargoes be shipped on U.S.-flag vessels to the extent that
such vessels are available at fair and reasonable rates. Pursuant to 46
CFR part 381, Government agencies must comply with the cargo preference
laws and must submit data to the Maritime Administration (MARAD) on
U.S. and foreign-flag carriage of preference cargoes under their
control. Part 382 requires U.S. operators to submit specific data to
MARAD regarding fair and reasonable guideline rates for the carriage of
preference cargoes on U.S.-flag vessels. The collection of vessel data
contributes toward the U.S. Department of Transportation's strategic
goal of National Security. In addition, this data collection requires
U.S.-flag operators to submit vessel-operating costs and capital costs
data to MARAD officials on an annual basis. This information is needed
by MARAD to establish fair and reasonable guideline rates for carriage
of specific cargoes on U.S. vessels.
Respondents: U.S. citizens who own and operate U.S.-flag vessels.
Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 35.
Total Estimated Number of Responses: 62.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Estimated Times per Respondent: 1-4 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 170.
Public Comments Invited: Comments are invited on: Whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the
information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the
Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed information
collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
