The Coast Guard office of Bridge Programs requires information obtained from the BPAG to evaluate navigational and environmental impacts of proposed bridge projects that cross navigable waters of the US. Respondents include public and private bridge owners. 33 USC. 401, 491, and 525 are the authorities for this collection.

EO: EO 13604 Name/Subject of EO: Improving Performance of Federal Permitting and Review of Infrastructure Projects
The Estimated burden for the period FY18 - FY20 is 10, 306 hours which averages to 3,435 hours per year. All calculations presented in this document are based on the number of permit applications processed between FY18 and FY20. The previous submission of this form (FY15-FY17) included permit pre-application coordination between the Bridge Program and the applicant that is required as an application is prepared for submission. Recognition of this work more accurately captured the work of the Bridge Program and significantly increased the total burden hours. The Coast Guard stopped supporting the Bridge Registry and Information Exchange (BRIX) database that was used to capture this data and the new database solution is not expected to be fully operational for Bridge Program activities until 2022, therefore reliable data for the full data period is unavailable. This submission does not include pre-application work and will therefore show a dramatic decrease from the last submission in burden hours due to this omission.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
