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: Sections 70034 and 70051 of 46 U.S. Code, 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. Code
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. Code
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 decreased from 928
hours to 485 hours a year, due to a decrease in the estimated annual
number of responses.
