Title: Navigation Safety Equipment for Towing Vessels
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 09/28/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/19/1995
Terms of Clearance: Box # 5 was checked NO, but we assume this is a Section 3504(H) submission as indicated by the preamble. (This was recieved incomplete, through page 42. The overall burden of this collection is quite large as are the costs imposed on many operators. OMB wants to review closely public comment and agency responses prior to the final rule. Consistent with new regulations in 1320.12, we ask that a submission be made at least 60 days prior to the final rule stage in order to review the final information requirements. We have taken this action under the existing requirements in Section 1320 in a short time frame, as this was submitted on 9/19/95 in order to try to minimize confusion over what requirements the submission should conform to, and assuming Coast Guard intends this as a 3504(H) submission.
