Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 152 / Wednesday, August 11, 2021 / Rules and Regulations for an E5 to mail a 0.5-inch manual.107
We estimated that it costs $3.15 for an E4 and $3.78 for an E5 to mail a 5page amendment.108 We took an average
of the E4 and E5 rates, thus deriving an estimated labor cost of $3.96 per 0.5inch manual and $3.47 per 5-page amendment.109 Thus, the average total
cost to mail a 0.5-inch manual is $13.21, and to mail a 5-page amendment is $11.70. These costs are summarized in table 21.

In addition to the documents that have been found adequate, there is the issue of those documents that are deemed inadequate by the COTP. The current regulations require the COTP to notify the facility in writing.110 This notification usually comes in the form of a marked-up copy of the document, showing what needs to be corrected.

This final rule provides the COTP the option to respond electronically or in print to either electronic or printed copies from the facility operators. The COTP will not be obligated to respond in the same format that the manual is submitted.
In summary, the cost savings for the Coast Guard will arise from the reduced

number of printed Operations Manuals, Emergency Manuals, and amendments returned to LNG, LHG, and MTR
