percent figure represents the estimated 10 percent of manuals that will be submitted to the COTP in printed format, 30 percent of which will be found inadequate.82 In this case, one printed document will be mailed as opposed to the two under the current regulation, so these facilities will save the cost of producing and mailing one printed copy.
Likewise, for amendments submitted electronically, the 14 percent figure reflects the 90 percent estimate combined with the SME estimate that 15

percent of all amendments submitted are found to not be adequate.83 In this case, the cost savings would arise from no longer having to produce and mail two printed copies. For amendments submitted in printed format, the analogous percentage is 2 percent.84 In this case, the associated cost savings would come from only needing to produce and mail one printed copy instead of the previous two.
The Reduction in Printed Documents Needed column reflects the documents no longer needed as a result of the
actions in the first column compared to current regulations. For example, in the first row, when LNG/LHG facilities submit their manuals in electronic form, as opposed to print, they will not need to submit two copies of electronic manuals. As a result, these facilities will experience a cost savings that is equal to the cost of assembling the documents.
In the second row, the facilities that continue to submit printed manuals instead of electronic will experience a cost savings from having to submit one document instead of two.85

production cost figures cited in this column can be found in tables 7 and 8.

Table 11 presents the administrative cost savings to MTR facilities from producing fewer Operations Manuals.
Of MTR facilities, Coast Guard SMEs estimated that 75 percent will convert their Operations Manuals to an electronic format. The remaining 25
percent of MTR facilities will still experience some administrative cost savings, since they will only be required to produce and mail in one copy of their manuals instead of the current two.
With respect to inadequate documents that have been returned to facilities by the COTP, facilities cost savings will depend on whether they send these back to the COTP in electronic or printed format. If they send documents back in electronic format, facilities will experience the cost savings associated with not having to produce and mail two copies. If they send documents back in printed format, they will only
experience the cost savings associated with not having to produce and mail one copy, as they will be sending one printed document as opposed to the two required in the current regulations.
Table 11 shows that the instances of Operations Manuals forecast to be required annually is 261 and the instances of amendments is 442, based on MISLE data. A more thorough discussion of these numbers can be found in the Affected Population section of this final rule.
The Expected Rate of Electronic Documents Submitted column shows the percentage of documents expected to be submitted in electronic format as opposed to print. For the manuals, this was 75 percent, and for the amendments, 25 percent. As stated previously, these numbers were based on Coast Guard SME input.
We derived the 23 percent figure from SME estimates that 30 percent of the
manuals submitted electronically will require correction.86 We derived the 8
percent figure in an analogous manner.87 Similarly, we derived the 11
percent and 4 percent figures from the SME estimate that 15 percent of all amendments submitted are found to be inadequate.88 89
The Reduction in Paper Documents Needed column reflects, analogously to table 10, the decrease in each type of document required in paper form. For inadequate documents that are submitted electronically to the COTP, the cost of two paper documents is saved as they will no longer need to send a printed copy. Those submitting printed documents in response to inadequacies pointed out by the COTP
will experience a cost savings associated with one printed document, as they will only be sending in one copy as opposed to the currently required two.

82 10 percent multiplied by 30 percent is 3
percent.
83 90 percent multiplied by 15 percent equals 13.5
percent, rounded up to 14 percent.
84 10 percent multiplied by 15 percent equals 1.5
percent, rounded to 2 percent.

85 The current regulations require the submission of two documents, while the final rule requires those facilities submitting printed documentation to submit only one copy of each document instead of two.
86 30 percent multiplied by 75 percent equals 23
percent rounded to closest whole percentage.

87 30 percent multiplied by 25 percent equals 7.5
percent, rounded to 8 percent.
88 15 percent multiplied by 75 percent equals 11
percent rounded to closest whole percentage.
89 15 percent multiplied by 25 percent equals 3.75
percent, rounded to 4 percent.
