Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change (i.e., decrease) in burden is an ADJUSTMENT due to a decrease in the single-hulled tank vessel population. Single-hulled tank barges are being replaced by more modern double-hulled tank barges. This shift in vessel hull type is due to the mandated single-hull tank vessel phase-out prescribed in the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. There is no proposed change to the recordkeeping requirements of this collection. The recordkeeping requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged.
