This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (87 FR 68511, November 15,

comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.
Information Collection Request
Title: Vessel Documentation.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0027.
Summary: The information collected will be used to establish the
eligibility of a vessel to: (a) be documented as a ``vessel of the
United States,'' (b) engage in a particular trade, and/or (c) become
the object of a preferred ship's mortgage. The information collected
concerns citizenship of owner/applicant and build, tonnage and markings
of a vessel.
Need: 46 U.S.C. chapters 121, 123, 125 and 313 requires the
documentation of vessels. A Certificate of Documentation is required
for the operation of a vessel in certain trades, serves as evidence of
vessel nationality and permits a vessel to be subject to preferred
mortgages.
Forms:
<bullet> CG-1258, Application for Initial, Exchange, or Replacement
of Certificate of Documentation; Redocumentation with optional
attachments.
<bullet> CG-1261, Builder's Certification and First Transfer of
Title.
<bullet> CG-1270, Certificate of Documentation.
<bullet> CG-1280, Vessel Renewal Notification Application for
Renewal.
<bullet> CG-1330, Certificate of Ownership of Vessel.
<bullet> CG-1332, General Index or Abstract of Title.
<bullet> CG-1340, Bill of Sale.
<bullet> CG-1356, Bill of Sale by Government Entity Pursuant to
Court Order of Administrative Degree of Forfeiture.
<bullet> CG-4593, Application, Consent, and Approval for Withdrawal
of Application for Documentation or Exchange of Certificate of
Documentation.
<bullet> CG-5542, Optional Application for Filing.
<bullet> CG-7042, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions.
[[Page 10911]]
<bullet> CG-7043, Abstract of Title/Certified COD Request.
Why is the Coast Guard proposing to add two new forms: The Coast
Guard is adding optional forms CG-1330 and CG-1332 to provide a
standardized means of delivering information about documented U.S.
vessels. A Certificate of Ownership of Vessel (CG-1332) provides the
name and official number of a vessel, name and address of the last
owner of record, the Certificate of Documentation expiration date, any
outstanding mortgages, preferred mortgages, and notice of lien.
Additionally, it lists any pending application and or instruments
filed. A General Index or Abstract of Title (CG-1330) contains
information concerning build, ownership, and encumbrances or liens
filed and recorded against a vessel.
Respondents: Owners/builders of yachts and commercial vessels of at
least 5 net tons.
Frequency: Annually, and on occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from
50,844 hours to 84,443 hours, due to an increase in the estimated
number of responses. In addition, the estimated burden has increased by
5,883 hours, due to the addition of two new optional forms--CG-1330,
Certificate of Ownership of Vessel and CG-1332, General Index or
Abstract of Title. The total estimated burden is 90,326 hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.
Dated: January 24, 2023.
