25974 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 87 / Thursday, May 4, 2000 / Notices

Management, 202–267–2326, for

questions on this document; Dorothy

Walker, Chief, Documentary Services

Division, U.S. Department of

Transportation, 202–366–9330, for

questions on the docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

This request constitutes the 30-day

notice required by OMB. The Coast

Guard has already published [65 FR

7094 (February 11, 2000)] the 60-day

notice required by OMB. That request

elicited the following comments.

The comment concerned ICR 2115–

0025—Oil Record Book for Ships. It

suggested the following changes to the

Oil Record Book for Ships: (1) ‘‘On page

13 the instructions say to ‘circle one’

and then present the choice of cargo/

ballast of machinery space. On the

remaining pages there is no choice

given.’’ (2) ‘‘Under the code and item

numbers for tankers, the instructions

under the letter K lists the operations to

be documented when discharging clean

ballast. These operations are written to

confirm [sic] to Marpol regulations

where clean ballast does not have to be

monitored. Under 33 CFR 157.43 clean

ballast [sic] discharges must go thru the

cargo monitor. It would follow that a

listed operation such as H 37 ‘[sic] Was

the discharge monitoring and control

system in operation’ should be included

under H.’’

The Coast Guard has reviewed and

concurs with the first suggested change

and will make the corrections when the

book is revised. While the second

suggestion is a good one, the Coast

Guard will consider it when it reviews

the book for the next revision. On April

6, 2000, we replied to the commentor

and sent copies to OMB.

Request for Comments

The Coast Guard invites comments on

the proposed collections of information

to determine whether the collections are

necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the Department. In

particular, the Coast Guard would

appreciate comments addressing: (1)

The practical utility of the collections;

(2) the accuracy of the Department’s

estimated burden of the collections; (3)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information that is the

subject of the collections; and (4) ways

to minimize the burden of collections

on respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

Comments, to DMS or OIRA, must

contain the OMB Control Numbers of all

ICRs addressed. Comments to DMS

must contain the docket number of this

request, USCG–2000–6847. Comments

to OIRA are best assured of having their

full effect if OIRA receives them 30 or

fewer days after the publication of this

request.
