Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.
Information Collection Request
Title: State Access to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for
Removal Costs under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0068.
Summary: This information collection is the mechanism for a
Governor, or their designated representative, of a state to make a
request for payment from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) in
an amount not to exceed $250,000 for removal cost consistent with the
National Contingency Plan required for the immediate removal of a
discharge, or the mitigation or prevention of a substantial threat of
discharge, of oil.
Need: This information collection is required by, 33 CFR part 133,
for implementing 33 U.S.C. 2712(d)(1) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990
(OPA 90). The information provided by the State to the National
Pollution Fund Center (NPFC) is used to determine whether expenditures
submitted by the state to the OSLTF are compensable, and, where
compensable, to ensure the correct amount of reimbursement is made by
the OSLTF to the state. If the information is not collected, the Coast
Guard and the National Pollution Funds Center will be unable to justify
the resulting expenditures, and thus be unable to recover costs from
the parties responsible for the spill when they can be identified.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Governor of a state or their designated
representative.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden of 3 hours a year
remains unchanged.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq.,
chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: April 5, 2022.

Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
