information to determine whether the collections are necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the Department. In particular, 
the Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical 
utility of the collections; (2) the accuracy of the Department's 
estimated burden of the collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information that is the subject of the 
collections; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of collections on 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.

all ICRs addressed. Comments to DMS must contain the docket number of
