SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to 
OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard 
collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information 
describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on 
the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection, 
and other important information describing the Collections. There is 
one ICR for each Collection.
    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether this ICR should be 
granted based on the Collection being necessary for the proper 
performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard 
would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the 
collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the 
collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
information subject to the collection; and (4) ways to minimize the 
burden of collections on respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. These 
comments will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred 
to in this Notice.

Information Collection Request

    Title: Standard Numbering System for Undocumented Vessels.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0108.
    Type of Request: Extension of a previously approved collection.
    Respondents: Owners of all undocumented vessels propelled by 
machinery. ``Owners'' may include individuals or households, non-profit 
organizations, and small businesses (e.g., liveries that offer 
recreational vessels for rental by the public) or other for-profit 
organizations.
    Abstract: The Standard Numbering System (SNS) collects information 
on undocumented vessels and vessel owners operating on waters subject 
to the jurisdiction of the United States. Federal, State, and local law 
enforcement agencies use information daily or as warranted from the 
system for enforcement of boating laws or theft and fraud 
investigations. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the 
United States, the need has increased for identification of 
undocumented vessels to meet port security and other missions to 
safeguard the homeland.
    Forms: None.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains the same at 286,458 
hours a year.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: February 7, 2011.
