Coast Guard is
in process of consolidating this COI with other COI's. To complete
the process, USCG requested an extension until 12/02 of the
existing collection. When USCG resubmits, we would approve for the
full 3 year term (probably 12/05). The numbers shown for burden
reflect the anticipated consolidation. When resubmitting, inventory
coorections will be made for collections no longer in use.
2115-0121 has been extended as it otherwise expires in 09/02.
