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 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 
of this request, [USCG-2015-0692], and must be received by December 21,

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (80 FR 48554, August 13, 2015) 
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no comments. 
Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.

Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Mandatory Ship Reporting System for the Northeast and 
Southeast Coasts of the United States.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0103.
    Summary: The information is needed to reduce the number of ship 
collisions with endangered northern right whales. Coast Guard rules at 
33 CFR part 169 establish two mandatory ship-reporting systems off the 
northeast and southeast coasts of the United States.
    Need: The collection involves ships' reporting by radio to a shore-
based authority when entering the area covered by the reporting system. 
The ship will receive, in return, information to reduce the likelihood 
of collisions between themselves and northern right whales--an 
endangered species--in the areas established with critical-habitat 
designation.
    Forms: N/A.

[[Page 72449]]

    Respondents: Operators of certain vessels. The estimated annual 
number of respondents is 1,773.
    Frequency: On occasion. There are no recordkeeping requirements for 
this information collection.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 200 
hours to 188 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.

    Dated: November 10, 2015.
