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

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.
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. 2071). 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 207
hours to 180 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual
number of responses.
