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

comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.

Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Voyage Planning for Tank Barge Transits in the Northeast 
United States.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0088.
    Summary: The information collection requirement for a voyage plan 
serves as a preventive measure and assists in ensuring the successful 
execution and completion of a voyage in the First Coast Guard District. 
This rule (33 CFR 165.100) applies to primary towing vessels engaged in 
towing tank barges carrying petroleum oil in bulk as cargo.
    Need: Section 311 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998, 
Pub. L. 105-383, 33 U.S.C. 1231, and 46 U.S.C. 3719 authorize the Coast 
Guard to promulgate regulations for towing vessel and barge safety for 
the waters of the Northeast subject to the jurisdiction of the First 
Coast Guard District. This regulation is contained in 33 CFR 165.100. 
The information for a voyage plan will provide a mechanism for 
assisting vessels towing tank barges to identify those specific risks, 
potential equipment, failures, or human errors that may lead to 
accidents.

[[Page 72448]]

    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of towing vessels. The annual 
number of respondents is estimated at 1,759.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 1,116 
hours to 880 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual 
number of responses.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
chapter 35, as amended.
