OMB No. 1625-0008 Exp: mm/dd/yyyy

Who must comply?	Any event sponsor wishing to conduct activity that may block, interfere or impede safe navigation on the navigable waters of the United States.
What is this collection about?	Marine events may actually block navigation channels or cause interference with adjacent vessel traffic or with the ability of larger commercial vessels to safely navigate designated shipping lanes. Also, adjacent vessel traffic may interfere with the safety or conduct of the marine event. The permit application provides the Coast Guard with the minimum information needed to identify the marine event and the event contact, to consider whether or not an event is likely to result in the loss of human life unless special precautions are taken.
Where do I find the requirements for this information?	Title 33 CFR 100, is available at http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov. Select TITLE 33 – SAFETY OF LIFE ON NAVIGABLE WATERS, and follow to Part 100.15(d)
When must information be submitted to the Coast Guard?	Information must be submitted to the Coast Guard 135 days prior to the proposed event (33 CFR 100.15c).
How is the information submitted?	The information is to be submitted to the local Sector Commander who has jurisdiction of the affected navigable waters. A list of Coast Guard Sectors can be found at http://www.uscg.mil/top/units/. The information should be mailed to the attention of the: Commanding Officer.
What happens when complete information is received?	The Coast Guard uses this information to identify each marine event, the event sponsor and responsible representatives for accountability, clarifying information and event control, to determine whether the event requires and merits Coast Guard approval, Coast Guard or Coast Guard Auxiliary supervision or assistance and what impacts the event may have on navigation and on the environment.
For additional information, contact--	Commandant (CG-54121), U.S. Coast Guard, 2100 Street. SW, Stop 7581 SW, Washington D.C. 20593-7581
