facilities will be impacted per year.117
As we found the total number of MTR
facilities to be 2,497, the proportion of impacted facilities is 21 percent.118 Our search of the MISLE database found 1,390 unique owners of all MTR
facilities.119 We reduced the 1,390 to a representative sample.120 Applying this formula, while assuming a 95-percent confidence interval, yielded a sample size of 385. We base our small business analysis on this sample size.121 Of the 385 facilities, we estimate that 276
should be considered small. Of those 276 facilities, 145 were small in terms of either gross sales or number of employees according to the definition provided by the SBA. Sales and employee data was not available for the remaining 131 facilities, so we assumed that these facilities were also small.
We estimate the total number of impacted unique MTR facility operators at 292.122 We estimate the total cost savings, as shown in table 19, to be $35,929 per year for all MTR facilities per year.123 Hence, we estimate that the projected cost savings per impacted facility will be $123.05 per year.124
Assuming that the proportion of small facilities among the 292 total impacted facilities reflects the ratio of small facilities in the sample derived by the application of the sample size estimated 72 percent, we estimate a total population of 210 small facilities.125 For the 145 small MTR facilities for which gross sales data existed, there were no 117 See the discussion under the Affected Population section of this RA.
118 Rounded to closest whole percentage point 527 divided by 2,497 equals 21.1 percent. This assumes that this ratio, based on historical MISLE
data over the past 10 years, remains constant over the future.
119 We conducted this search of the MISLE
database in Mid-December 2020.
120 We used two equations and then took the higher value, as derived from them, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The two equations are as follows: Z2pq/e2 and N/1+Ne2. Each term in these equations is defined as follows:
Z=1.96, e=0.05, p=0.5, q=0.5, N = X, the relevant number of observations. The application of the two equations yields the following numbers:
1.9620.50.5/0.052 = 310.6 rounded to 311
and 1,390/1+1,3900.052 = 384.16 rounded to 385. As 385 is the higher number we select it as our relevant sample size.
121 We picked the 385 from the 1,390 by assigning the 1,390 a randomly selected number between 0
and 1 using the random number generator in Excel and then picking the first 385 facilities, from highest to lowest, based on the number the random number generator created for each.
122 1,390 multiplied by 21 percent equals 291.9.
123 From table 19, rounded to closest whole dollar.
124 $35,929 divided by 292 equals $123.05.
125 276 divided by 385 equals 71.7 percent. 292
multiplied by 72 percent equals 210.24.

facilities for which costs savings exceeded 1 percent of gross revenue.
Based on the information provided above, the Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605b that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
C. Assistance for Small Entities Under section 213a of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, Public Law 104
121, we want to assist small entities in understanding this final rule so that they can better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking.
The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this final rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agencys responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1
888REGFAIR 18887343247.
D. Collection of Information This final rule calls for a revision to two collections of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44
U.S.C. 35013520. As defined in 5 CFR
1320.3c, collection of information comprises reporting, recordkeeping, monitoring, posting, labeling, and other similar actions. The title and description of the collections of information, a description of those who must collect the information, and an estimate of the total annual burden follow. The estimate covers the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing sources of data, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection.
This final rule changes the collections of information required for waterfront facilities handling LNG and LHG, described in OMB Control Number 16250049, and facilities transferring oil or hazardous materials in bulk, described in OMB Control Number 16250093. This final rule does not change the content of responses, nor the estimated burden of each response, but decreases the total annual burden for both of these collections of information.
The Coast Guard will submit this collection of information amendments to OMB for its review.

Title: Waterfront Facilities Handling Liquefied Natural Gas LNG and Liquefied Hazardous Gas LHG.
OMB Control Number: 16250049.
Summary of the Collection of Information: LNG and LHG present a risk to the public when transferred at waterfront facilities. Title 33 CFR part 127 prescribes safety standards for the design, construction, equipment, operations, maintenance, personnel training, and fire protection at waterfront facilities handling LNG or LHG. The facility operators must submit Operational Manuals, Emergency Manuals, and amendments to the Coast Guard.
Need for Information: The information in an Operations Manual is used by the Coast Guard to ensure the facility follows proper and safe procedures for handling LNG and LHG
and to ensure facility personnel are trained and follow proper and safe procedures for transfer operations. The Emergency Manual is used by the Coast Guard to ensure the facility follows proper procedures in the event of an emergency during transfer operations.
These procedures include actions in the event of a release, fire, or other event that requires an emergency shutdown, first aid, or emergency mooring or unmooring of a vessel. Operations Manuals and Emergency Manuals are updated periodically by amendments to ensure they are kept current to reflect changes in procedures, equipment, personnel, and telephone number listings.
Use of Information: The Coast Guard uses this information to monitor compliance with the rule.
Description of the Respondents:
Waterfront Facilities Handling LNG and LHG.
Number of Respondents: This final rule will not have any impact on the number of respondents. Based on the Coast Guards MISLE database, there are currently 121 LNG and LHG facilities operating in the United States and its territories.126 The final rule will reduce the number of hours spent assembling manuals and amendments, submitting them to the COTP, updating numerous copies of each manual that is amended, and ensuring that the most recent version of the manual with all amendments is available to the PIC.
126 In the most current collection of information, the number of LNG and LNG facilities was 108. The current figure of 121 reflects an increase in this population; it is not due to a change made by the final rule. The relevant collection of information, 16250049, can be found in Regulations.Gov https www.regulations.gov/docket?D=USCG2019-0353.
