Information Collection Request
      Title: Defect/Noncompliance Report and Campaign Update Report.
      OMB Control Number: 1625-0010.
      Summary: Manufacturers whose products contain defects which create a substantial risk of personal injury to the public or which fail to comply with an applicable U.S. Coast Guard safety standard are required to conduct defect notification and recall campaigns in accordance with 46 U.S.C. 4310.  Regulations in 33 CFR 179 require manufacturers to submit certain reports to the Coast Guard about progress made in notifying owners and making repairs.
      Need: According to 46 U.S.C. 4310(d) and (e) and 33 CFR 179.13(a)(2) the 

manufacturer shall provide the Commandant of the Coast Guard with an initial report 

consisting of certain information about the defect notification and recall campaign being 

conducted.  Upon receipt of information from a manufacturer indicating the initiation of a 

recall, the Recreational Boating Product Assurance Branch assigns a recall campaign 

number, and sends the manufacturer a CG-4917 form for supplying the information.  

According to 33 CFR 179.15(a), a manufacturer who makes an initial report required by 

33 CFR 179.13 shall send to the Commandant of the Coast Guard a follow-up report 

within 60 days after the initial report.  

      Forms: 
 CG-4917, Defect/Noncompliance Report; and
 CG-4918, Campaign Update Report. 
      Respondents:  Manufacturers of boats and certain items of "designated" associated equipment (inboard engines, outboard motors, or sterndrive engines).    
      Frequency: Quarterly.  
      Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 166.5 hours to 162 hours a year, due to a decrease in the estimated annual number of responses and a decrease of recalls.
      Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.
Dated:  March 30, 2022.
