Information Collection Request

    Title: Great Lakes Pilotage.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0086.
    Summary: The Office of Great Lakes Pilotage is seeking OMB's 
approval to change Great Lakes Pilotage data collection requirements 
for the three U.S. pilot associations it regulates. This change would 
require submission of data to an electronic data collection system. 
This new system is identified as the Great Lakes Electronic Pilot 
Management System. This electronic system replaces the manual paper 
submissions previously used to collect data on bridge hours; vessel 
delay, detention, cancellation, and moveage; pilot travel; revenues; 
pilot availability; and related data. This change will ensure that the 
required data is available in a timely manner and will allow immediate 
accessibility to data crucial from both an operational and ratemaking 
standpoint. Currently, this information is being recorded manually.
    Need: To comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements 
respecting the ratemaking and oversight functions imposed upon the 
agency.
    Respondents: Three U.S. Pilot Associations and Individual Pilots on 
the Great Lakes.
    Frequency: Daily.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 18 hours a year.

    Dated: September 22, 2006.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command, 
Control, Communications. Computers and Information Technology.
