Information Collection Request

Title: Great Lakes Pilotage.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0086.

Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Three U.S. Pilot Associations and Individual

Pilots on the Great Lakes.

Forms: None.

Abstract: The Office of Great Lakes Pilotage is seeking OMB's

approval to change Great Lakes Pilotage data collection requirements

for the three U.S. pilot associations it regulates. This change would

require submission of data to an electronic data collection system.

This new system is identified as the Great Lakes Electronic Pilot

Management System. This electronic system replaces the manual paper

submissions previously used to collect data on bridge hours, vessel

delay, detention, cancellation/movement, pilot travel, revenues, pilot

availability, and related data. This change will ensure that the

required data is available in a timely manner and will allow immediate

accessibility to data crucial from both an operational and ratemaking

standpoint. Currently, this information is being recorded manually.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 18 hours a year.

Dated: December 15, 2006.

R. T. Hewitt,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,

Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
