Privacy Act Notice 

Authority: 33 CFR 138.80, 33 U.S.C. § 2716, and 42 U.S.C. § 9608, authorizes the collection of this information.
Purpose: The Coast Guard will use this information as evidence that the owners and operators, including demise charterers, of certain vessels have established and are maintaining evidence of financial responsibility (i.e.,
ability to pay) sufficient to meet the maximum amount of liability to which they could be subjected under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2702(a); 33 U.S.C. 2704) (OPA'90), and the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. 9607) (CERCLA), in the event of a discharge, or substantial threat of discharge, of oil or a release, or threatened release, of
hazardous substances, into the navigable waters, adjoining shorelines or the exclusive economic zone of the United States.
Routine Uses: This information will be used by and disclosed to Coast Guard personnel and contractors or other agents who need the information to assist in activities related to the OPA'90 and CERCLA evidence of
financial responsibility requirements, including personnel responsible for the storage and ultimate disposal of the information. Additionally, the Coast Guard may share the information with facility operators, law
enforcement or other government agencies as necessary to respond to actual or threatened discharges of oil or releases of hazardous substances, or pursuant to its published Privacy Act system of records notice.
Disclosure: Furnishing this information (including your SSN) is voluntary; however, if the requested information is not furnished, the Coast Guard will be unable to certify compliance by vessel owners and operators,
including demise charterers, with the applicable OPA'90 and CERCLA evidence of financial responsibility requirements. This may result in the withholding or revocation of vessel clearance and other sanctions as
specified OPA'90, 33 U.S.C. 2716(b) and 42 U.S.C. 9608(a).
