SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Mariner Survey Pre-Test.
OMB Control Number: 2133–NEW.
Type of Request: New information
collection request.
Abstract: The Maritime
Administration intends to conduct a
Pre-Test for a survey of individuals who
hold appropriate merchant mariner
credentials issued by the U.S. Coast
Guard. This voluntary Mariner Survey
Pre-Test information collection is
limited to cognitive interviews and a
pilot survey of a sample of credentialed
U.S. merchant mariners to validate and
improve the design of a questionnaire
and other components for a subsequent
full Mariner Survey. Cognitive
interviews will be conducted either
online or over telephone; pilot survey
responses will be primarily conducted
online, with a mail survey option.
Upon completion of this Pre-Test
collection and analysis, MARAD
intends to request separate approval for
the full biennial Mariner Survey of all
appropriately credentialed U.S.
merchant mariners to determine the
number of qualified mariners who are
available and willing to serve on short
notice on U.S. government-owned
sealift ships or commercial ships during
a period of national need. The most
recent survey of this scope was
completed in 2002. The availability of a
reliable, current estimate on the number
of mariners willing to serve in times of
war, armed conflict, or national
emergency is critical to the U.S. national
security.
Respondents: Individuals who hold
appropriate merchant mariner

credentials issued by the U.S. Coast

Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.

Respondents: 690 (40 cognitive
interviews; 650 pilot survey
respondents).
Frequency of Collection: One-time.
Estimated Times per Respondent: 45
minutes for cognitive interviews; 20
minutes for pilot survey.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 247.
Public Comments Invited: Comments

whether the information will have

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.
A comment to OMB is best assured of
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
