Information Collection Request
Title: Applications for Vessel Inspection, Waiver and Continuous
Synopsis Record.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0002.
Summary: The collection of information requires the owner,
operator, agent, or master of a vessel to apply in writing to the Coast
Guard before the commencement of an inspection for certification, when
a waiver is desired from the requirements of navigation and vessel
inspection, or to request a Continuous Synopsis Record.
Need: 46 U.S.C. 3306 authorizes the Coast Guard to establish
regulations to protect life, property, and the environment. The
reporting requirements are part of the Coast Guard's Marine Safety
Program.
Forms:
<bullet> CG-2633, Application for Waiver and Waiver Order.
<bullet> CG-3752, Application for Inspection of U.S. Vessel.
<bullet> CG-6039, Application for Continuous Synopsis Record.
Respondents: Vessel owner, operator, agent, master or interested
U.S. Government agency.
Frequency: On occasion, annually, or on a 5-year cycle.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 745
hours to 1,005 hours per year due to an increase in the estimated
annual number of responses.
To streamline the inspection application process, the Coast Guard
updated form CG-3752 (Application for Inspection of U.S. Vessel). This
update consolidates the original form and form CG-3752A (Application
for Inspection of U.S. Vessel (New Construction)) into a single, two-
page document.
Respondents only complete the second page if a U.S. vessel is under
new construction or entering certificated service. Table 1 shows the
updated features and benefits to the public and the Coast Guard.
Table 1--Improvements and Justifications
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated feature Benefits

and electronic signatures to increase
efficiency, while retaining manual entry
options if needed.
Standardized Fields.......... Ensure the submitted values align
seamlessly with the Coast Guard's
internal database.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite these structural updates, the estimated burden for the new
form remains unchanged.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.
