Abstract: 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. The Bridge Permit Application Template was removed and is now appendix B. Additional appendices were added for the Plan Sheet Job Aid, Lighting Guide, and additional plan sheet samples added. The application was updated, simplifying documentation and providing more clarity.
