Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Proposed Rules
for labor expended to obtain the title and actual fees for the title.
No further action would be required by vessel owners. Vessel owners do not need to renumber their vessels as a result of the proposed rule, since existing hull numbers are unrelated to
owners as a result of the proposed rule, but not mandated by the rule itself.
There are other potential costs of the rule detailed in future section. For a comprehensive list of all potential costs, please refer to Table 1.
titling. No equipment is required by vessel owners for compliance.
Table 2 below summarizes this section detailing potential costs of the proposed rule. All are considered indirect costs, as they are costs that may be imposed by the State on vessel

Costs to the Coast Guard We estimate that the Government costs associated with this regulatory action would be labor costs for the Coast Guard to: 1 Process MOAs from the States; 2 coordinate with States; and 3 update the Coast Guard website. No additional equipment would be needed to perform these tasks under the proposed rule.
In order to process an MOA, it is first transmitted from the States to a Coast Guard compliance officer in BSX and then to the Commandant or designee for approval. To coordinate with the States, a Coast Guard compliance officer would engage with and respond to inquiries from the States. The Coast Guard estimates that a Coast Guard compliance officer would spend 0.25
hour to process an MOA from a State
and another 0.25 hour to transmit it to the Commandant or designee for approval. The Commandant or designee would spend 0.2 hour to approve an MOA Cost = Count of MOAs 0.5
hour Compliance officers wage rate + 0.2 hour Commandants wage rate.
As a result of this proposal, we estimate that the Coast Guard would need to engage with, respond to inquiries, and coordinate with States regarding VIS participation and UCOTAV compliance. Eighteen States are not in the VIS We estimate that a Coast Guard compliance officer would need to coordinate with each of these States for VIS participation.21 To engage with and respond to inquiries from States, we estimate that the compliance officer would spend 0.5 hour per States
inquiry to coordinate a response Cost =
18 States 0.5 hour Compliance officers wage rate. For the 47 States needing to adopt UCOTAV, we estimate that a Coast Guard compliance officer would spend 0.5 hour per State to assist Cost = 47 States 0.5 hour
Compliance officers wage rate.
Lastly, the Coast Guard would need to update its website with information on this proposed rule. We estimate that 1
hour would be needed by a computer technician and an additional 0.25 hour for a compliance officer to supervise and approve the update. This is a onetime task that is expected to occur in the first year of the final rules enactment Cost = 0.25 hour Coast Guard compliance officers wage rate + 1
hour Federal computer technicians wage rate.
