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

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

Previous Request for Comments

Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (85 FR 62315, October 2, 2020)

hazardous materials transfer procedures. No changes have been made to

the information collection request. Accordingly, no changes have been
