Information Collection Request
Title: Report of Marine Casualty and Chemical Testing of Commercial Vessel Personnel.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0001.
Summary: Marine casualty information is needed for Coast Guard investigations of commercial vessel casualties involving death, vessel damage, etc., as mandated by Congress. Chemical testing information is needed to improve Coast Guard detection/reduction of drug use by mariners.
Need: Section 6101 of 46 U.S.C., as delegated by the Secretary of Homeland Security to the Commandant, authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe regulations for the reporting of marine casualties involving death, serious injury, material loss of property, material damage affecting the seaworthiness of a vessel, or significant harm to the environment. It also requires information on the use of alcohol be included in a marine casualty report. Section 7503 of 46 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to deny the issuance of licenses, certificates of registry, and merchant mariner's documents (seaman's papers) to users of dangerous drugs. Similarly, 46 U.S.C. 7704 requires the Coast Guard to revoke such papers unless a holder provides satisfactory proofs that the holder has successfully completed a rehabilitation program acceptable to the U.S. Coast Guard and is determined to be, by a competent substance abuse professional, free from misuse of chemical substances and that the risk of subsequent misuse of chemical substances is sufficiently low to justify returning to safety-sensitive positions.
Forms: CG-2692, Report of Marine Casualty, Commercial Diving Casualty, or OCS-related Casualty; CG-2692A, Barge Addendum; CG-2692B, Report of Mandatory Chemical Testing Following a Serious Marine Incident Involving Vessels in Commercial Service; CG-2692C, Personnel Casualty Addendum; CG-2692D, Involved Persons and Witnesses Addendum.
Respondents: Vessel owners and operators.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 22,939 hours to 22,980 hours a year due to an increase in the estimated number of responses.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: November 28, 2018.
James D. Roppel,
Acting Chief, Office of Information Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
