Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published a 60-day notice (71 FR 11437, March 7, 2006)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). In this notice we stated that the
complete ICR would be available through both our online docket and at a
Coast Guard facility in Washington, DC. Because the complete ICR was
not made available online during the stated comment period, we reopen
the comment period for an additional 30 days (71 FR 32113, June 2,
2006). Neither notice elicited any comments.
