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

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (81 FR 28088, May 9, 2016) 
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). We received three comments from two 
commenters to the 60-day notice.
     The first comment was not related to the periodic renewal 
of this information collection. The comment was about the need to 
correct outdated organizational addresses and standards of certain 
materials incorporated by reference in the title 33 CFR part 127 
Waterfront Facilities Handling LNG and LHG. The Coast Guard will 
consider this comment in an ongoing rulemaking that will revise these 
facility standards.
     The second comment recommended revising the hour burden 
per response for certain reporting and recordkeeping activities. We 
agree in part and have changed as recommended the estimated burden for 
Operational and Emergency Manual development, and person in charge 
certification. However, we have kept unchanged our estimated burden for 
amendments to Operational and Emergency Manuals and declarations of 
inspection, as the current estimates are more representative of the 
time required for most activities of this nature.
     The third comment recommended allowing LNG-LHG-related 
submissions via https://HOMEPORT.uscg.mil to reduce administrative 
burden. We will consider incorporating this option in the future.

Information Collection Request

    Title: Waterfront Facilities Handling Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) 
and Liquefied Hazardous Gas (LHG).
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0049.
    Summary: Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and other Liquefied Hazardous 
Gases (LHG) present a risk to the public when handled at waterfront 
facilities. These rules should either prevent accidental releases at 
waterfront facilities or mitigate their results. They are necessary to 
promote and verify compliance with safety standards.
    Need: Title 33 CFR part 127 prescribes safety standards for the 
design, construction, equipment, operations, maintenance, personnel 
training, and fire protection at waterfront facilities handling LNG or 
LHG.
    Forms: N/A.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of waterfront facilities that 
transfer LNG or LHG.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 6,425 
hours to 9,734 hours a year due to several factors. First, the increase 
is due to public comment that recommended increasing certain hour 
burden estimates per response. Second, the increase is due to a 
reevaluation by the Coast Guard that resulted in an increase in the 
estimated annual number of LHG facility waterway suitability 
assessments.

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