ADVANCE NOTICE OF VESSEL ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

OMB No. 1625-0100 Exp: 01/31/2012

Who must comply?	Owners and operators of certain vessels.
What is this collection about?	This information is used by the Coast Guard (CG) to control vessel traffic, develop contingency plans, and enforce regulations.
Where do I find the requirements for this information?	Title 33 CFR 146 and 160, are available at—http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov, select TITLE 33 NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS, and follow to Parts 146 and 160 respectively.
When must information be submitted to the Coast Guard?	The information must be submitted 96 hours in advance of arrival. For voyages of less than 96 hours, information must be submitted at least 24 hours before entering the port or place of destination.
How is the information submitted?	The information must be submitted to the National Vessel Movement Center (NVMC) by one of several methods—internet, fax, email or phone. The preferred method is using electronic Notice of Arrival and Departure (eNOAD) format specified at the NVMC’s website—http://www.nvmc.uscg.gov/.
What happens when complete information is received?	The NVMC receives over 600 NOA submissions each day via internet, fax, email and phone. The volume of work required to process this number of submissions precludes verifying receipt for faxes. However, submissions sent through the eNOAD system will receive a confirmation receipt. After the data has been reviewed, the submitter will receive an email detailing any discrepancies, or a simple notification that the correct information was received.
For additional information, contact—	Your local CG Sector Office or the NVMC. A list of Coast Guard sectors, as part of a comprehensive list of Coast Guard units, can be found at http://www.uscg.mil/top/units/.
