Any discharge of oil or a hazardous
substance must be reported to the National Response Center (NRC) so
that the pre-designated on-scene coordinator can be informed and
appropriate spill mitigation action carried out. The NRC also
receives suspicious activity reports from the public and
disseminates the info to appropriate entities.

The change in burden is an
ADJUSTMENT due to a change (i.e., decrease) in the number of NRC
reports received by the Coast Guard. It is unknown why we have seen
a large decrease in the number of annual responses. The reporting
requirements, and the methodology for calculating burden, remain
unchanged.
