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. In response to
your comments, we may revise this ICR or decide not to seek an
extension of approval for the Collection. We will consider all comments
and material received during the comment period.
We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments
and related materials. Comments must contain the OMB Control Number of
the ICR and the docket number of this request, [USCG-2017-0104], and
must be received by October 10, 2017.

Information Collection Request
Title: Alternative Compliance for International and Inland
Navigation Rules--33 CFR parts 81 through 89.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0019.
Summary: The information collected provides an opportunity for an
owner, operator, builder, or agent of a unique vessel to present their
reasons why the vessel cannot comply with existing International/Inland
Navigation Rules and how alternative compliance can be achieved. If
appropriate, a Certificate of Alternative Compliance is issued.
Need: Certain vessels cannot comply with the International
Navigation Rules (see 33 U.S.C. 1601 through 1608; 28 U.S.T. 3459, and
T.I.A.S. 8587) and Inland Navigation Rules (33 U.S.C. 2001 through
2073). The Coast Guard thus provides an opportunity for alternative
compliance. However, it is not possible to determine whether
alternative compliance is appropriate, or what kind of alternative
procedures might be necessary, without this collection.
Forms: Not applicable.
Respondents: Vessel owners, operators, builders and agents.
Frequency: One-time application.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 230
hours to 207 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual
number of responses.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: August 3, 2017.
Marilyn L. Scott-Perez,
Chief, U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Information Management.
