This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act

describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on
the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection,
and other important information describing the Collections. There is
one ICR for each Collection.
The Coast Guard invites comments on whether these ICRs should be
granted based on the Collections being necessary for the proper
performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard
would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the
Collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the
Collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
information subject to the Collections; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the Collections on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology. In response to your comments, we may revise these ICRs or
decide not to seek approval for the Collections. We will consider all
comments and material received during the comment period.

Summary: This information collection provides the means to develop
and submit a claim to the National Pollution Funds Center to seek
compensation for removal costs and damages incurred resulting from an
oil discharge or substantial threat of discharge. This collection also
provides the requirements for a responsible party to advertise where
claims may be sent after an incident occurs.
Need: This information collection is required by 33 CFR part 136,
for implementing 33 U.S.C. 2713(e) and 33 U.S.C. 2714(b).
Forms: None.
Respondents: Individuals, Businesses, Federal government, state
government, local government, Indian tribes, responsible parties,

8,267 hours a year.
2. Title: State Access to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for
Removal costs under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0068.
Summary: This information collection is the mechanism for a
Governor, or their designated representative, of a state to make a
request for payment from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) in
an amount not to exceed $250,000 for removal cost consistent with the
National Contingency Plan required for the immediate removal of a
discharge, or the mitigation or prevention of a substantial threat of

[[Page 58531]]
implementing 33 U.S.C. 2712(d)(1) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA
90). The information provided by the State to the NPFC is used to
determine whether expenditures submitted by the state to the OSLTF are
compensable, and, where compensable, to ensure the correct amount of
reimbursement is made by the OSLTF to the state. If the information is
not collected, the Coast Guard and the National Pollution Funds Center
will be unable to justify the resulting expenditures, and thus be
unable to recover costs from the parties responsible for the spill when
they can be identified.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Governor of a state or their designated
representative.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden will remain at 3 hours per
year.
