Information Collection Request

    Title: Direct User Fees for Inspection or Examination of U.S. and 
Foreign Commercial Vessels.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0074.
    Summary: This collection requires the submission of identifying 
information such as a vessel's name and identification number, and of 
the owner's choice whether or not to pay fees for future years. A 
written request to the Coast Guard is necessary.
    Need: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 [Pub. L. 101-
508, 104 Stat. 1388], which amended 46 U.S.C. 2110, requires the Coast 
Guard to collect user fees from inspected vessels. To properly collect 
and manage these fees, the Coast Guard must have current information on 
identification. This collection helps to ensure that we get that 
information and manage it efficiently.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Owners of vessels.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 2,999 
hours to 3,086 hours a year, due to an increase in the estimated annual 
number of responses.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35, as amended.

    Dated: February 24, 2022.
