Coast Guard Cost Savings Under current regulations, the COTP
examines the Operations Manuals, Emergency Manuals, and amendments that are submitted by LNG and LHG
facilities, and the Operations Manuals and amendments that are submitted by MTR facilities. After examining LNG
and LHG documentation, the COTP
finds the document either adequate or inadequate. If the document is found adequate, the current regulation requires that the Captain of the Port returns one copy to the facility owner or operator marked Examined by the Coast Guard. 100 The same applies to MTR
facility documentation. If the document is found to be adequate, the current regulation requires that the COTP . . .
return one copy of the manual marked Examined by the Coast Guard. 101 All these copies are currently submitted to the COTP by facilities in the form of two printed copies.

facilities in either electronic or printed format, depending on the format in which the document was received.102 In rare cases when there are extensive suggested edits, the COTP may choose to send back a copy of the manual with the corrections noted. If a document was received from a facility in printed format, then it likely will not be returned to the facility in electronic format. As previously stated, Coast Guard SMEs estimated that 90 percent of LNG/LHG facility documents will be received in electronic format, and 75
percent of MTR facility documents will be. We estimated that this is the same percentage the COTP will return to the facilities in electronic format.
The cost savings the Coast Guard will experience from returning electronic responses will be the shipping and handling costs saved by not having to mail back the printed editions of the Operations Manuals, Emergency Manuals, and amendments. The Coast 102 The regulatory text in title 33 of the CFR
127.019e, 154.320c2, and 154.325d through e states that the COTP will notify the facility with an explanation of why it does not meet this part.
The form of the notification will depend on the complexity and/or of the inadequacies that need to be addressed. If there are many that need to be addressed it may prove more logical to return a marked copy of the manual to the facility owner or operator. Some types of inadequacies, for example diagrams, illustrations, and/or maps that may need to be modified may also prove easier to communicate with a manual that is marked, as opposed to a notification.

Guard, like the private sector, will likely use a mailing service such as UPS or FedEx Ground shipping. Since the same packages will be returned to the facilities, the Coast Guards mailing costs will likely be the same as the private sectors. For a 0.5-inch manual, this is estimated to total $9.25, and for a 5-page amendment, this is estimated to total $8.23.103
Because labor costs differ between the Coast Guard and the private sector, labor-handling costs do also. The Coast Guard personnel expected to package documents to return to facilities will be either E4s or E5s. According to the latest available Commandant Instruction, the fully loaded hourly rate for an E4 is $45.00, and for an E5
$54.00.104 We assumed that it takes the Coast Guard the same amount of time to pack and prepare a 0.5-inch manual and a 5-page amendment for shipping as it takes the private sector: 5 Minutes, rounded to the closest whole minute, for a 0.5-inch manual, and 4 minutes for a 5-page amendment.105 106 We estimated labor costs at $3.60 for an E4 and $4.32
