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. 3501 et seq., 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 an extension of approval for 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-2022-0041], and
must be received by March 28, 2022.

Information Collection Request
Title: Bridge Permit Application Guide.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0015.
Summary: The collection of information is a request for a bridge
permit submitted as an application for approval by the Coast Guard of
any proposed bridge project. An applicant must submit to the Coast
Guard a letter of application along with letter-size drawings (plans)
and maps showing the proposed project and its location.
Need: 33 U.S.C. 401, 491, and 525 authorize the Coast Guard to
approve plans and locations for all bridges and causeways that go over
navigable waters of the United States.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Public and private owners of bridges over navigable
waters of the United States.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden for the period FY18-FY20
is 10,306 hours, which averages to 3,435 hours per year. The previous
submission for this request (FY15-FY17) included permit pre-application
coordination between the Bridge Program and the applicant that is
required as an application is prepared for submission. Recognition of
this work more accurately captured the work of the Bridge Program and
significantly increased the total burden hours. Unfortunately the Coast
Guard was unable to continue to support the antiquated database that
was used to capture this data and a new database solution is not
expected to be fully operational until 2022, therefore reliable data
for the full data period is unavailable. This submission does not
include pre-application work and will therefore show a drastic decrease
in burden hours from 17,607 to 3,435 due to this omission.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.
Dated: January 19, 2022.
Kathleen Claffie,
Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
