Background

    On January 30, 2015, the Coast Guard published a final rule that 
revised or amended existing notice of arrival and automatic 
identification system requirements. 80 FR 5282. The final rule delayed 
the effective date of 33 CFR 160.204(a)(5)(vii), 160.205, and 
160.208(a) and (c) because these sections contain collection-of-
information provisions that require approval by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. On August 5, 2015, OMB approved the collection 
assigned OMB Control Number 1625-0100, Advance Notice of Vessel 
Arrival. Accordingly, we announce that sections 33 CFR 
160.204(a)(5)(vii), 160.205, and 160.208(a) and (c) are effective 
August 20, 2015. The approval for this collection of information 
expires on February 28, 2017.
    We have not yet received approval from OMB regarding the 1625-0112 
collection of information, Enhanced Maritime Domain Awareness via 
Electronic Transmission of Vessel Transit Data, which relates to 
automatic identification system requirements in the January 2015 final 
rule (80 FR 5282).
    This document is issued under the authority of 33 U.S.C. 1231.

    Dated: August 14, 2015.

Director of Commercial Regulations and Standards, U.S. Coast Guard.
