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

Notice.

We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments

Previous Request for Comments

This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The

Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (81 FR 28088, May 9, 2016)

required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). We received three comments from two

commenters to the 60-day notice.

The first comment was not related to the periodic renewal

of this information collection. The comment was about the need to

correct outdated organizational addresses and standards of certain

materials incorporated by reference in the title 33 CFR part 127

Waterfront Facilities Handling LNG and LHG. The Coast Guard will

consider this comment in an ongoing rulemaking that will revise these

facility standards.

The second comment recommended revising the hour burden

per response for certain reporting and recordkeeping activities. We

agree in part and have changed as recommended the estimated burden for

Operational and Emergency Manual development, and person in charge

certification. However, we have kept unchanged our estimated burden for

amendments to Operational and Emergency Manuals and declarations of

inspection, as the current estimates are more representative of the

time required for most activities of this nature.

The third comment recommended allowing LNG-LHG-related

submissions via https://HOMEPORT.uscg.mil to reduce administrative

burden. We will consider incorporating this option in the future.

Information Collection Request

Title: Waterfront Facilities Handling Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

and Liquefied Hazardous Gas (LHG).

OMB Control Number: 1625-0049.

Summary: Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and other Liquefied Hazardous

Gases (LHG) present a risk to the public when handled at waterfront

facilities. These rules should either prevent accidental releases at

waterfront facilities or mitigate their results. They are necessary to

promote and verify compliance with safety standards.

Need: Title 33 CFR part 127 prescribes safety standards for the

design, construction, equipment, operations, maintenance, personnel

training, and fire protection at waterfront facilities handling LNG or

LHG.

Forms: N/A.

Respondents: Owners and operators of waterfront facilities that

transfer LNG or LHG.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 6,425

hours to 9,734 hours a year due to several factors. First, the increase

is due to public comment that recommended increasing certain hour

burden estimates per response. Second, the increase is due to a

reevaluation by the Coast Guard that resulted in an increase in the

estimated annual number of LHG facility waterway suitability

assessments.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.

chapter 35, as amended.

Marilyn Scott-Perez,

U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Deputy Chief Information Officer.
