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 Collection. There is one
ICR for each Collection. The Coast Guard invites comments on whether
this ICR should be granted based on the Collection being necessary for
the proper performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the
Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical
utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of
the Collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of information subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the Collection 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 ICR 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

Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.
Information Collection Request
Title: Barges Carrying Bulk Hazardous Materials.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0104.
Summary: This information is needed to ensure the safe shipment of
bulk hazardous liquids in barges. The requirements are necessary to
ensure that barges meet safety standards and to ensure that barge's
crewmembers have the information necessary to operate barges safely.
Need: Title 46 U.S.C. 3703 authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe
rules related to the carriage of liquid bulk dangerous cargoes. Title
46 CFR 151 prescribes rules for barges carrying bulk liquid hazardous
materials.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Owners and operators of tank barges.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from
28,958 hours to 40,307 hours a year. The burden change is due to a
change in the estimated annual number of new construction (n/c) tank
barges. In the last ICR submission, the Coast Guard estimated
approximately 160 n/c tank barges per year. In this ICR submission, the
Coast Guard estimates about 282 n/c tank barges per year.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.
