Information Collection Request

    Title: Vessel and Facility Response Plans (Domestic and 
International), and Additional Response Requirements for Prince William 
Sound, Alaska.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0066.
    Summary: The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) required the 
development of Vessel and Facility Response Plans to minimize the 
impact of oil spills. OPA 90 also required additional response 
requirements for Prince William Sound. Shipboard Oil Pollution 
Emergency Plans and Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plans are 
required of other vessels to minimize impacts of oil spills.
    Need: This information is needed to ensure that vessels and 
facilities are prepared to respond in event of a spill incident. The 
information will be reviewed by the Coast Guard to assess the 
effectiveness of the response plan.
    Forms: CG-6083, Application for Approval/Revision of Vessel 
Pollution Response Plans and Vessel Response Plan (VRP) Express Search 
Tool.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels and facilities.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 
136,460 hours to 75,395 hours a year. The decrease in burden is 
primarily due to a decrease in the estimated annual number of Facility 
Response Plan (FRP) respondents.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: 29 April 2016.
Thomas P. Michelli,
U.S. Coast Guard, Deputy Chief Information Officer.
