SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Participation and Request for 

Comments 

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. 

We encourage you to respond to this 

request by submitting comments and 

related materials. Comments to Coast 

Guard or OIRA must contain the OMB 

Control Number of the ICR. They must 

also contain the docket number of this 

request, [USCG–2017–0126], and must 

be received by November 20, 2017. 

Submitting Comments 

We encourage you to submit 

comments through the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal at http://

www.regulations.gov. If your material 

cannot be submitted using http://

www.regulations.gov, contact the person 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this document for 

alternate instructions. Documents 

mentioned in this notice, and all public 

comments, are in our online docket at 

http://www.regulations.gov and can be 

viewed by following that Web site’s 

instructions. Additionally, if you go to 

the online docket and sign up for email 

alerts, you will be notified when 

comments are posted. 

We accept anonymous comments. All 

comments received will be posted 

without change to http://

www.regulations.gov and will include 

any personal information you have 

provided. For more about privacy and 

the docket, you may review a Privacy 

Act notice regarding the Federal Docket 

Management System in the March 24, 

2005, issue of the Federal Register (70 

FR 15086). 

OIRA posts its decisions on ICRs 

online at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/ 

do/PRAMain after the comment period 

for each ICR. An OMB Notice of Action 

on each ICR will become available via 

a hyperlink in the OMB Control 

Number: 1625–0082. 

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.

Information Collection Request 

Title: U.S. Coast Guard Nonappropriated Fund Employment 

Application. 

OMB Control Number: 1625–0120. 

Summary: The USCG NonAppropriated Fund Employment 

Application form is used to collect 

applicant qualification information 

associated with vacancy 

announcements. The form allows 

individuals to apply for employment 

opportunities with the Coast Guard 

Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) 

workforce and fills the gap created by 

the cancellation of the optional 

Application for Federal Employment, 

form OF–612, OMB No. 3206–0219. 

Need: The U.S. Coast Guard rates 

applicants under the authority of Title 

5 of U.S. Code, Sections 1104, 2103, 

3301 and 3320. The Optional 

Application for Federal Employment, 

Form OF–612, was cancelled and the 

information is now collected in USA 

Jobs. The NAF personnel system does 

not utilize USA Jobs because of the high 

cost and high turnover rate and thus 

relied heavily on form OF–612 for 

applicants. 

Forms: CG–1227B, Non-Appropriated 

Fund Employment Application. 

Respondents: Public applying for 

positions with the USCG Nonappropriated fund workforce. 

Frequency: Per vacancy 

announcements. 

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated 

burden has decreased from 8,400 hours 

to 3,837 hours a year due to a decrease 

in the estimated annual number of 

respondents. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

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

Dated: October 16, 2017.
