Information Collection Request

    Title: CG-2554 Private Aids to Navigation Application. CG-4143 
Application for Class I Private Aids to Navigation on Artificial 
Islands/Fixed Structures.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0011.

SUMMARY: Under 14 U.S.C. 81, the Coast Guard is authorized to establish 
aids to navigation. Title 14 U.S.C. section 83 prohibits establishment 
of aids to navigation without permission of the Coast Guard. Title 33 
CFR section 66.01-5 provides a means for private individuals to 
establish privately maintained aids to navigation. Under 43 U.S.C. 
1333, the Coast Guard has the authority to promulgate and enforce 
regulations concerning lights and other warning devices relating to the 
promotion of safety of life and property on the artificial islands, 
installations, and other devices on the outer continental shelf 
involved in the exploration, development, removal, or transportation of 
resources therefrom. Title 33 CFR section 67.35-1 prescribes the type 
of aids to navigation that must be installed on artificial islands and 
fixed structures.
    To obtain approval to establish a private aid to navigation, 
applicants must submit either CG Form 2554 (Private Aids to Navigation 
Application) or CG Form 4143 (Application for Class 1 Private Aids to 
Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed Structures). The forms 
collect information about the private aid to navigation (type, color, 
geographic position), as well as the applicant's contact information. 
The information is stored in the Coast Guard's Integrated Aids to 
Navigation System (I-ATONIS). I-ATONIS is the Coast Guard's 
comprehensive database for managing information about aids to 
navigation.
    Collecting the applicant's contact information is important because 
it allows the Coast Guard to contact the applicant should there be a 
discrepancy or mishap involving the permitted private aid to 
navigation. Certain discrepancies create hazards to navigation and must 
be immediately corrected or repaired. I-ATONIS has user access controls 
in place to govern who may view or access the information. The contact 
information is only available to Coast Guard aids to navigation 
personnel and contact is only initiated if the private aid to 
navigation becomes discrepant or in need of repair.
    Need: Provision of the applicant's contact information is 
mandatory, as it will allow the Coast Guard to contact the owner should 
there be a discrepancy or mishap with the permitted aid to navigation. 
Failure to provide the required contact information will lead to 
disapproval of the private aid to navigation application.
    Forms: CG-2554 and CG-4143.
    Respondents: Owners of private aids to navigation.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 3,000 hours a year.

    Dated: December 19, 2011.
R.E. Day,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command, 
Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
