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. Consistent with

the requirements of Executive Order 13771, Reducing Regulation and

Controlling Regulatory Costs, and Executive Order 13777, Enforcing the

Regulatory Reform Agenda, the Coast Guard is also requesting comments

on the extent to which this request for information could be modified

to reduce the burden on respondents. 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-2019-0253], and

must be received by June 7, 2019.

Information Collection Request


Title: Requirements for Lightering of Oil and Hazardous Material

Cargoes, and Advance Notice of Transfer.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0042.

Summary: The information for this report allows the U.S. Coast

Guard to provide timely response to an emergency and minimize the

environmental damage from an oil or hazardous material spill. The

information also allows the Coast Guard to control the location and

procedures for lightering activities. It also provides advance notice

of transfers at certain facilities.


[[Page 13946]]


Need: Section 3715 of Title 46 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to

establish lightering regulations. Title 33 CFR 156.200 to 156.330 and

156.400 to 156.430 prescribes the Coast Guard regulations for

lightering, including pre-arrival notice, reporting of incidents and

operating conditions. Section 1225 of 33 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast

Guard to prescribe advance notice of transfer regulations. Title 33 CFR

156.118 prescribe the regulations.

Forms: CG-4020, 4 Hour Advance Notice of Transfer.

Why is Coast Guard Proposing a New Form: The Coast Guard proposes

the use of a new form CG-4020--4 Hour Advance Notice of Transfer,

because we believe that the form will improve communications and

enhance information exchange accuracy. The optional form provides a

facility representative with a simple means of complying with the

existing advance notice of transfer requirements in 33 CFR 156.118.

Respondents: Owners, masters and agents of lightering vessels, and

facility representatives.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 372

hours to 985 hours a year, due to an increase in the estimated annual

number of responses.


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

Chapter 35, as amended.


Dated: April 2, 2019.

James D. Roppel,

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