Equipment, Construction, and Materials.
    OMB Control Number: 2115-0141.

these rules. When the Coast Guard approves any safety equipment or 
material for use on a commercial vessel or pleasure craft, it issues 
the manufacturer a Certificate of Approval.
    Respondents: Manufacturers of safety equipment and materials.
    Frequency: On occasion.
