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

Information Collection Request

Title: Security Zones, Regulated Navigation Areas, and Safety

Zones.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0020.

Summary: The Coast Guard collects this information only when

someone seeks a security zone, regulated navigation area, or safety

zone. It uses the information to assess the need to establish one of

these areas.

Need: Section 70034 and 70051 of 46 U.S.C., and parts 6 and 165 of

33 CFR give the Coast Guard Captain of the Port (COTP) the authority to

designate security zones in the U.S. for as long as the COTP deems

necessary to prevent damage or injury. Section 70001 of 46 U.S.C.

authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe rules to control vessel traffic

in areas he or she deems hazardous because of reduced visibility,

adverse weather, or vessel congestion. Section 70011 of 46 U.S.C.

authorizes the Coast Guard to establish rules to allow the designation

of safety zones where access is limited to authorized persons,

vehicles, or vessels to protect the public from hazardous situations.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Federal, State, and local government agencies, owners

and operators of vessels and facilities.

Frequency: On occasion.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 224

hours to 928 hours a year, due to an increase in the estimated annual

number of respondents.

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

35, as amended.
