Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Alternative Compliance for International and Inland 
Navigation Rules--33 CFR Parts 81 and 89.
    OMB Control Number: 2115-0073.
    Summary: The information collected provides an opportunity for the 
owner, operator, builder, or agent of a unique vessel to present her or 
his reasons why the vessel cannot comply with existing International or 
Inland Navigation Rules and how it might achieve alternative 
compliance. If one is appropriate, the Coast Guard issues a Certificate 
of Alternative Compliance.
    Need: Certain vessels cannot comply with the International 
Navigation Rules (33 U.S.C. chapter 30) or Inland Navigation Rules (33 
U.S.C. chapter 34). The Coast Guard therefore provides an opportunity 
for alternative compliance. However, it cannot determine whether 
alternative compliance is appropriate, or what kind of alternative 
compliance might be necessary, without this collection.
    Respondents: Owners, operators, builders, and agents of vessels.
    Frequency: One-time application.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 153 hours a year.

    Dated: March 5, 2001.
V.S. Crea,
Director of Information and Technology.
