Information Collection Request

Title: Maritime Transportation System Recovery Essential Elements

of Information.

OMB Control Number: 1625--New.

Summary: This collection captures data on facilities, vessels, and

shared transportation infrastructure prior to a port disruption to be

able to characterize the port in its normal fully functioning

condition.

Need: 33 U.S.C. 1225, 46 U.S.C. 70103, and 50 U.S.C. 191 require

the U.S. Coast Guard to take action to prevent damage to, or the

destruction of, bridges, other structures, on or in navigable waters or

shore area adjacent; to minimize damage from and respond to a

transportation security incident; and to safeguard against destruction

of vessels, harbors, ports and waterfront facilities in the United

States and all territorial waters during a national emergency. To be

prepared to execute these responsibilities, the U.S. Coast Guard needs

to establish the normal fully functioning condition of a port prior to

a port disruption. Then, following a port disruption, the U.S. Coast

Guard may be able to compare the normal port condition to the disrupted

port condition, enabling the Marine Transportation System Recovery Unit

(MTSRU) to assist in prioritizing recovery efforts, and gauge the

effectiveness of the response.

Forms: CG-11410, Marine Transportation System Recovery Essential

Elements of Information and CG-11410A, Marine Transportation System

Recovery Facility Status.

Respondents: Owners or operators of United States waterfront

facilities.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: This is a new information collection. The

estimated burden is 2,250 hours a year.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35, as amended.

Dated: February 6, 2017.

Thomas P. Michelli,

U.S. Coast Guard, Chief Information Officer.
