SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to

OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard

collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information

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. These comments will help OIRA determine whether to approve

the ICRs referred to in this Notice.

We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments

and related materials. Comments to Coast Guard or OIRA must contain the

OMB Control Number of the ICR. They must also contain the docket number
