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 these ICRs should be 
granted based on the Collections 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 
Collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
information subject to the Collections; and (4) ways to minimize the 
burden of the Collections on respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology. In response to your comments, we may revise these ICRs or 
decide not to seek approval for the Collections. We will consider all 
comments and material received during the comment period.

Information Collection Requests

    1. Title: Security Plans for Ports, Vessels, Facilities, and Outer 
Continental Shelf Facilities and Other Security-Related Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0077.
    Summary: This information collection is associated with the 
maritime security requirements mandated by the Maritime Transportation 
Security Act (MTSA) of 2002. Security assessments, security plans and 
other security-related requirements are found in Title 33 CFR chapter 
I, subchapter H, and 33 CFR Parts 120 and 128.
    Need: This information is needed to determine if vessels and 
facilities are in compliance with certain security standards.
    Forms: CG-6025, CG-6025A.
    Respondents: Vessel and facility owners and operators.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 1,278,068 
hours to 1,108,043 hours a year.

    2. Title: Streamlined Inspection Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0085.
    Summary: The Coast Guard established an optional Streamlined 
Inspection Program (SIP) to provide owners and operators of U.S. 
vessels an alternative method of complying with inspection requirements 
of the Coast Guard.
    Need: Section 3306 of 46 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to 
prescribe regulations necessary to carry out the inspections of vessels 
required under 46 U.S.C. 3301 and 46 U.S.C. 3103. The Coast Guard 
relies on reports, documents, records of other persons and other 
methods that have been determined to be reliable to ensure compliance 
with vessels and seamen requirements under 46 U.S.C. subtitle II. The 
Streamlined Inspection Program regulations under 46 CFR part 8, subpart 
E, offer owners and operators of affected vessels an alternative to 
traditional Coast Guard inspection procedures. Owners and operators of 
vessels opting to participate in the program will maintain a vessel in 
compliance with a Company Action Plan (CAP) and Vessel Action Plan 
(VAP) and have their own personnel periodically perform many of the 
tests and examinations conducted by marine inspectors of the Coast 
Guard. The Coast Guard expects participating vessels will continuously 
meet a higher level of safety and readiness throughout the inspection 
cycle.
    Forms: Not applicable.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion. Application and plan development occur only 
once at enrollment. Updates and revisions are required to be made every 
two years and the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) and the 
company will review the plans every five years.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 2,496 
hours to 2,774 hours a year.

    3. Title: Enhanced Maritime Domain Awareness via Electronic 
Transmission of Vessel Transit Data.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0112.
    Summary: The Coast Guard collects, stores, and analyzes data 
transmitted by LRIT to enhance maritime domain awareness (MDA). 
Awareness and threat knowledge are critical for securing the maritime 
domain and the key to preventing adverse events. Domain awareness 
enables the early identification of potential threats and enhances 
appropriate responses, including interdiction at an optimal distance 
with capable prevention forces.
    Need: To ensure port safety and security and to ensure the 
uninterrupted flow of commerce.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Owners or operators of certain vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 150 hours 
to 204 hours a year.

    Dated: April 29, 2011.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,
