Who must comply?

Any event sponsor wishing to conduct activity that may block, or
impede safe navigation on the navigable waters of the United States.

What is this collection
about?

Marine events may actually block navigation channels or cause
interference with adjacent vessel traffic or with the ability of larger
commercial vessels to safely navigate designated shipping lanes. Also,
adjacent vessel traffic may interfere with the safety or conduct of the
marine event. The permit application provides the Coast Guard with
the minimum information needed to identify the marine event and the
event contact to consider whether or not an event is likely to result in
the loss of human life unless special precautions are taken.

Coast Guard approval. Coast Guard will assess whether supervision or
assistance is required and what impacts the event may have on
navigation and on the environment.
