Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 122 / Wednesday, June 25, 2014 / Notices Policy Analysis and Notices Consistent with the Administrative Procedures Act and Department of Transportation rulemaking policy, MARAD is publishing this policy in the Federal Register to indicate how it plans to exercise the discretionary authority provided by Section 3508 of the CVSSA. Nothing in this notice or in the policy itself requires MARAD to exercise its discretionary authority under the CVSSA. This policy establishes a voluntary program in which successful applicants may obtain MARAD cruise vessel security and safety training provider certification. Paperwork Reduction Act: The information collection requirements in this final policy are being submitted for approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. The sections that contain the information collection requirements are detailed in the above section entitled ‘‘HOW TO BECOME A MARITIME ADMINISTRATION (MARAD) CERTIFIED CVSSA TRAINING PROVIDER’’ and the estimated time to fulfill each requirement and to prepare a complete application are estimated in the section entitled ‘‘Collection Summary’’ below. The OMB is required to make a decision concerning the collection of information requirements contained in this final policy within 60 days after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, a comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication. [To direct your comments, see section entitled ADDRESSES]. MARAD intends to obtain a current OMB control number for the information collection requirements resulting from this rulemaking action prior to the effective date of this final policy. The OMB control number, when assigned, will be announced by separate notice in the Federal Register. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Collection Summary Persons or organizations seeking training provider certification must submit certain information described in the above section entitled ‘‘How to become a Maritime Administration Certified CVSSA Training Provider’’ and must sign a training provider agreement. No particular form is required for the application procedure. However, all information described in the application procedure must be submitted and is necessary for proper review of the applicant’s qualifications. The training provider agreement will be required to VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:01 Jun 24, 2014 Jkt 232001 follow the published format and be signed by the successful applicant before MARAD will issue its certification. To maintain certification, training providers will be required to undergo audits and to provide audit reports to MARAD. Need for and Use of the Information: The information collected will be used to analyze the applicant’s methods and process of instruction in providing information that is comprehensive in scope and consistent with the USCG Model Course. Information arising under training provider audits will be used to ensure that certified training providers remain qualified throughout the certification period. The training provider agreement is necessary to establish an understanding between the agency and the training provider that certain terms must be met in order to obtain and maintain MARAD training provider certification. Without this information, MARAD would not be able to offer the benefit of its training provider certification to program applicants. MARAD training provider certification will assist the USCG in ensuring cruise vessel CVSSA compliance. Description of Respondents: Individuals, partnerships, or corporations seeking training provider certification. Annual Responses: Once the policy is effective, the agency anticipates as many as 35 submissions each year. Certification is anticipated to span a period of 5 years before expiration and renewal. However, the agency does anticipate the collection of information annually from the same estimated number of training providers seeking to maintain their certification by complying with agency audits. Annual Burden: 40 hours per program participant or 1400 hours total. Authority: The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010, 46 U.S.C. 3508, The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
