Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Understanding how Mariners use Aids to Navigation--A 
Systems Analysis Project for the U.S. Coast Guard Research and 
Development Center.
    OMB Control Number: 2115-0644.
    Summary: The goal of the National Aids to Navigation Survey is to 
understand how mariners use aids in order to navigate. Navigational 
methods and techniques vary with the type of vessel, conditions of the 
waterway, and the navigator's experience.
    Need: The survey is being done under the mandates of the National 
Performance Review and Executive order 12802. It will enable program 
officers in aids to navigation (AtoN) to assess navigational risk, 
implement appropriate AtoN strategies, and measure the effectiveness of 
the program in reducing the number of vessel collisions, allisions, and 
groundings.
    Respondents: Navigators of vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden: The estimated burden is 6,518 hours annually.

    Dated: May 15, 2000.

Director of Information and Technology.
