[Docket No. MARAD-2024-0141]


Request for Comments on the Renewal of a Previously Approved 
Collection: Approval of Underwriters for Marine Hull Insurance

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration (MARAD) invites public comments on 
our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval to renew an information collection in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection OMB 2133-0517 
(Approval of Underwriters for Marine Hull Insurance) is used to provide 
approval of foreign underwriters on the basis of an assessment of their 
financial condition, the regulatory regime under which they operate, 
and a statement attesting to a lack of discrimination in their country 
against U.S. hull insurers. The regulations also require that American 
underwriters be given an opportunity to compete for every placement, 
thereby necessitating in some cases certification that such opportunity 
was offered. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal 
Register to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collections should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
