This Notice relies on the authority of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 

44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. An 

ICR is an application to OIRA seeking 

the approval, extension, or renewal of a 

Coast Guard collection of information 

(Collection). The ICR contains 

information describing the Collection’s 

purpose, the Collection’s likely burden 

on the affected public, an explanation of 

the necessity of the Collection, and 

other important information describing 

the Collection. There is one ICR for each 

Collection. 

The Coast Guard invites comments on 

whether this ICR should be granted 

based on the Collection being necessary 

for the proper performance of 

Departmental functions. In particular, 

the Coast Guard would appreciate 

comments addressing: (1) The practical 

utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy 

of the estimated burden of the 

Collection; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of 

information subject to the Collection; 

and (4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the Collection on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. These 

comments will help OIRA determine 

whether to approve the ICR referred to 

in this Notice.

request by submitting comments and 

related materials. Comments to Coast 

Guard or OIRA must contain the OMB

Previous Request for Comments 

This request provides a 30-day 

comment period required by OIRA. The 

Coast Guard published the 60-day 

notice (82 FR 34960, July 27, 2017) 

required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). We 

received two comments from a 

commenter to the 60-day Notice. The 

first comment was about the navigation 

charts and publications requirements for 

small towing vessels that operate on 

inland waters. The commenter stated 

that the requirements for these vessels 

should not be the same as the 

requirements for vessels on other 

voyages. We agree. 33 CFR 164.72 

prescribes fewer publication carriage 

requirements for vessels engaged in 

towing exclusively on Western Rivers 

than for those that operate elsewhere 

(towing or otherwise). Furthermore, the 

Coast Guard has allowed electronic 

carriage of some publications further 

reducing burden (see Navigation and 

Vessel Inspection Circular 01–16). 

The second comment was about the 

Muster List and Emergency Instructions 

requirements. The commenter stated 

that we should take into account various 

levels of risk, and not apply the rules to 

all towing vessels. Again, we agree. The 

Muster List and Emergency Instructions 

requirements in 33 CFR 199.80 do not 

apply to towing vessels inspected under 

46 CFR Subchapter M. These 

requirements apply to towing vessels 

inspected under 46 CFR Subchapter I on 

international voyages. The comments 

result in no changes to the Collection. 

Information Collection Request 

Title: Navigation Safety Information 

and Emergency Instructions for Certain 

Towing Vessels. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0082. 

Summary: Navigation safety 

regulations in 33 CFR part 164 help 

assure that the mariner piloting a towing 

vessel has adequate equipment, charts, 

maps, and other publications. For 

inspected towing vessels, under 46 CFR 

199.80 a muster list and emergency 

instructions provide effective plans and 

references for crew to follow in an 

emergency situation. 

Need: The purpose of the regulations 

is to improve the safety of towing 

vessels and the crews that operate them. 

Forms: None. 

Respondents: Owners, operators and 

masters of vessels. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has increased from 345,620 

hours to 369,980 hours a year due to an 

increase in the estimated annual 

number of respondents. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. 

Dated: October 12, 2017.
