The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking public comments on their request to extend approval for an information collection related to audit reports under the International Safety Management Code. This involves ensuring that U.S. vessels comply with international treaties on safety management systems. The Coast Guard invites feedback on the necessity, utility, and potential burden of the information collection by January 8, 2025, through the Federal eRulemaking Portal. The estimated annual burden for respondents has increased due to more responses received.
Simple Explanation
The Coast Guard wants to keep asking people for information about how safe ships are, but they're asking if there's a better way to do it without taking too much time or effort. They're inviting everyone to share their thoughts on this by January 8, 2025.
