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