performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard 
would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the 
Collection; (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 the 
Collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. These comments

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard has published the 60-day Notice (78 FR 9709; February 11, 
2013) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no COI-
related comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the 
collection. The above 60-day Notice also sought comments on a draft 
Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) Navigation and Vessel Inspection 
Circular (NVIC). The Coast Guard will publish a separate

[[Page 31964]]

Notice in the Federal Register to addresses how we responded to the MLC 
NVIC-related comments.
