Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.

notified when a coast station, which is responsible for maintaining a
listening watch on a designated marine distress and safety frequency
discontinues, reduces or impairs its communications services. This
notification allows the Coast Guard to seek an alternate means of
providing radio coverage to protect the safety of life and property at
sea or object to the planned diminution of service. The information is
used by the U.S. Coast Guard district office nearest to the coast
station. Once the Coast Guard is aware that such a situation exists, it
is able to inform the maritime community that radio coverage has or
will be affected and/or seek to provide coverage of the safety watch
via alternate means.
