TITLE:  Audit Reports under the International Safety Management Code.

OMB CONTROL NUMBER:  1625-0084.

SUMMARY:  This information helps to determine whether U.S. vessels,
subject to SOLAS 74, engaged in international trade, are in compliance
with that treaty.  Organizations recognized by the Coast Guard conduct
ongoing audits of vessels’ and companies’ safety management systems.

NEED:  Title 46 U.S.C. 3203 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe
regulations regarding safety management systems.  Title 33 CFR part 96
contains the rules for those systems and hence the safe operation of
vessels.

FORM:  N/A.

RESPONDENTS:  Owners and operators of vessels, and organizations
authorized to issue ISM Code certificates for the United States.

FREQUENCY:  On occasion.

BURDEN:  The estimated burden has decreased from 17,660 hours to 10,221
hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual number of
responses.
