Information Collection Request

    Title: The Great Lakes Pilotage.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0086.
    Summary: The Office of Great Lakes Pilotage is seeking an extension 
of OMB's current approval for Great Lakes Pilotage data collection 
requirements for the three U.S. pilot associations it regulate. This 
extension would require continued submission of data to an electronic 
collection system and Form CG-4509. This system is identified as the 
Great Lakes Pilot Management System which replaced the manual paper 
submissions used to collect data on bridge hours, vessel delay, vessel 
cancellation, pilot travel and administration, revenues, pilot 
availability, and related data. This extension ensures the required 
data is available in a timely manner and allows immediate accessibility 
to data crucial from both an operational and rate-making standpoint.
    Need: To comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements 
respecting the rate-making and oversight functions imposed upon the 
agency.
    Forms: CG-4509, Application for Registration as United States 
Registered Pilot.
    Respondents: The three U.S. pilot associations regulated by the 
Office of Great Lakes Pilotage and members of the public applying to 
become Great Lakes Registered Pilots.
    Frequency: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-annually, 
Annually, On occasion; frequency dictated by marine traffic levels and 
association staffing.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden increased to 1,214 hours 
a year. This increase is an update due to increased traffic on the 
Great Lakes and better record keeping in the past four years. The 
information requested from the respondents has not changed.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35, as amended.

    Dated: January 19, 2022.

Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
