Information Collection Request

    Title: Regulated Navigation Area; Reporting Requirements for Barges 
Loaded with Certain Dangerous Cargoes, Inland Rivers, Eighth Coast 
Guard District and the Illinois Waterway, Ninth Coast Guard District.
    Omb Control Number: 1625-0105.
    Summary: The Coast Guard requires position and intended movement 
reporting, and fleeting operations reporting, from barges carrying 
certain dangerous cargoes (CDCs) in the inland rivers within the Eighth 
and Ninth Coast Guard Districts.
    Need: This information is used to ensure port safety and security 
and to ensure the uninterrupted flow of commerce.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Owners, agents, masters, towing vessel operators, or 
persons in charge of barges loaded with CDCs or having CDC residue 
operating on the inland rivers located within the Eighth and Ninth 
Coast Guard Districts.
    Frequency: On occasion.

hours to 4 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated number of
