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. 3501 et seq., 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 
Collection. There is one ICR for each Collection.
    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether this ICR should be 
granted based on the Collection being necessary for the proper 
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 
will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred to in this 
Notice.
    We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments 
and related materials. Comments to Coast Guard or OIRA must contain the 
OMB Control Number of the ICR. They must also contain the docket number

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (86 FR 40604, July 28, 2021) 
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). The U.S. Coast Guard Office of 
Auxiliary and Boating Safety received one comment in response to our 
60-day notice. The commenter expressed their support for the collection 
of information stating that the USCG should be allowed to collect the 
necessary information. The commenter also stated this rule is likely to 
result in a reduced reporting burden for the states; this, however, is 
in comparison to the form(s) the states have been using for the annual 
summary and submission of recreational vessel registration data to the 
Coast Guard, and not with regard to the substantial data collection and 
capture requirements that were imposed by the final rule. The commenter 
continued by stating they strongly encourage the expeditious, formal 
approval of this information collection request and authorization of 
the accompanying Form CGHQ-3923 to alleviate uncertainties among the 
states as to how and to what level of detail these data should be 
reported to the Coast Guard; and, they strongly encourage the Coast 
Guard's development and adoption of instructions for the states' use in 
completing both the Application for Certificate of Number (33 CFR 
174.17) and the Form CGHQ-3923, for the sake of data consistency. 
Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.
