Information Collection Request

    Title: Great Lakes Pilotage.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0086.
    Summary: The Office of Great Lakes Pilotage is seeking a revision 
of OMB's current approval for Great Lakes Pilotage data collection 
requirements for the three U.S. pilot associations it regulates. This 
revision would require continued submission of data to an electronic 
collection system. This system is identified as the Great Lakes 
Electronic Pilot Management System which will eventually replace the 
manual paper submissions currently used to collect data on bridge 
hours, vessel delay, vessel detention, vessel cancellation, vessel 
movage, pilot travel, revenues, pilot availability, and related data. 
This revision 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. Additionally, this collection 
adds inclusion of a registration form (CG-4509) required to be 
completed by all registered and applicant pilots.
    Need: To comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements 
respecting the rate-making and oversight functions imposed upon the 
agency.
    Forms: CG-4509.
    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.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden increases to 19 hours a year 
with the addition of CG-4509 to this collection.

    Dated: February 13, 2013.
R. E. Day,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command, 
Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
