SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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

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

Previous Request for Comments

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

[[Page 37465]]

Coast Guard has published the 60-day notice (82 FR 10375, February 10,

2017) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no

comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collections.

Information Collection Request

Title: National Response Resource Inventory.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0102.

Summary: The information is needed to improve the effectiveness of

deploying response equipment in the event of an oil spill. It may also

be used in the development of contingency plans.

Need: Section 4202 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-

380) requires the Coast Guard to compile and maintain a comprehensive

list of spill removal equipment in a response resource inventory (RRI).

This collection helps fulfill that requirement.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Oil spill removal organizations.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 1,752

hours to 1,378 hours a year. The change in burden is due to a change in

the methodology for calculating burden. In past ICRs we did not

differentiate between the industry hour burden for inputting a new RRI

submission or updating an existing RRI submission. In this ICR, we

estimate that it takes fewer hours (i.e., 50 percent fewer hours) to

review/update an existing RRI submission than to input a new

submission.

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

Chapter 35, as amended.

Dated: August 4, 2017.

Marilyn L. Scott-Perez,

Chief, U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Information Management.
