Information Collection Request

    Title: Great Lakes Pilotage.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0086.
    Summary: The Office of Great Lakes Pilotage is seeking an extension 
of OMB's approval for Great Lakes Pilotage data collection requirements 
for the three U.S. pilot associations it regulates. This extension 
would require continued submission of data to an electronic collection 
system. This system is identified as the Great Lakes Electronic Pilot 
Management System which will eventually replace the manual paper 
submissions currently used to collect data on bridge hours; vessel 
delay, detention, cancellation, and moveage; pilot travel; revenues; 
pilot availability; and related data. This extension ensures the 
required data is available in a timely manner and allows immediate 
accessibility to data crucial from both an operational and rate-making 
standpoint.
    Need: To comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements 
respecting the rate-making and oversight functions imposed upon the 
agency.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: The three U.S. pilot associations regulated by the 
Office of Great Lakes Pilotage.
    Frequency: Daily.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains the same at 18 hours 
a year.

    Dated: February 4, 2010.
M.B. Lytle,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Assistant Commandant for Command, 
Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
