This is a resubmission of this ICR. Our ICR describes the information we seek to collect from the public. Before submitting this ICR to OIRA, the Coast Guard is inviting comments as described below. DATES: Comments must reach the Coast Guard on or before December 26, 2017. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by Coast Guard docket number USCG-2015-0694 to the Coast Guard using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public participation and request for comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further instructions on submitting comments. A copy of the ICR is available through the docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Additionally, copies are available from: Commandant (CG-612), Attn: Paperwork Reduction Act Manager, U.S. Coast Guard, 2703 Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave. SE., Stop 7710, Washington, DC 20593-7710.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Participation and Request for Comments A sixty-day Notice was originally published in the Federal Register on October 15, 2017, and a thirty-day Notice published on February 17, 2017, for this ICR. This ICR is being resubmitted due to the length of time since publication of the thirty-day notice and to provide the public with an opportunity to further comment on this collection. We did receive one comment on this ICR during the prior submission and it is discussed below under the section, ``Submitting 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. In response to your comments, we may revise this ICR or decide not to seek reinstatement of the Collection. We will consider all comments and material received during the comment period. We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments and related materials. Comments must contain the OMB Control Number of the ICR and the docket number of this request, [USCG-2015-0694], and must be received by December 26, 2017. Submitting Comments We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal [[Page 49640]] eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.
