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.

Forms: N/A. Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels that carry certain bulk solids. Frequency: On occasion. Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 955 hours to 850 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual number of responses for Special Permits.
