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 Collections. There is 
one ICR for each Collection.
    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether these ICRs should be 
granted based on the Collections being necessary for the proper 
performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard 
would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the 
Collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the 
Collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
information subject to the Collections; and (4) ways to minimize the 
burden of the Collections on respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology. In response to your comments, we may revise these ICRs or 
decide not to seek approval for the Collections. We will consider all 
comments and material received during the comment period.
    We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments 
and related materials. Comments must contain the OMB Control Number of 
the ICR and the docket number of this request, [USCG-2011-0119], and

Information Collection Requests

    1. Title: Security Zones, Regulated Navigation Areas, and Safety 
Zones.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0020.
    Summary: The Coast Guard collects this information only when 
someone seeks a security zone, regulated navigation area, or safety 
zone. It uses the information to assess the need to establish one of 
these areas.
    Need: Section 1226 and 1231 of 33 U.S.C. and 50 U.S.C. 191 and 195, 
and parts 6 and 165 of 33 CFR give the Coast Guard Captain of the Port 
(COTP) the authority to designate security zones in the U.S. for as 
long as the COTP deems necessary to prevent damage or injury. Section 
1223 of 33 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to prescribe rules to 
control vessel traffic in areas he or she deems hazardous because of 
reduced visibility, adverse weather, or vessel congestion. Section 1225 
of 33 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to establish rules to allow the 
designation of safety zones where access is limited to authorized 
persons, vehicles, or vessels to protect the public from hazardous 
situations.
