describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on 
the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection,

    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether these ICRs should be

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

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 of revisions of the Collections. We will
