Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (89 FR 21527, March 28, 2024)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That notice received three off-topic
comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.
Information Collection Request
Title: Applications for Private Aids to Navigation and for Class I
Private Aids to Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed Structures.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0011.
Summary: Under the provision of 14 U.S.C. 81, the Coast Guard is
authorized to establish aids to navigation. 14 U.S.C. 83 prohibits
establishment of aids to navigation without permission of the Coast
Guard. 33 CFR 66.01-5 provides a means for private individuals to
establish privately maintained aids to navigation. Under 43 U.S.C.
1333(d), the Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to
promulgate and enforce regulations concerning lights and other warning
devices relating to the promotion of safety of life and property on
artificial islands, installations, and other devices on the outer
continental shelf involved in the exploration, development, removal, or
transportation of resources there from. The Secretary delegated this
authority to the Commandant of the Coast Guard under Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No. 00170.1, Revision No. 01.3. Coast
Guard's regulations in 33 CFR part 67 prescribe the type of aids to
navigation that must be installed on artificial islands and fixed
structures. Under the provision of 33 U.S.C. 409, Congress requires
owners of vessels to immediately mark sunken craft unless Coast Guard
issues a waiver. The Coast Guard's regulations for marking of sunken
vessels are set out in 33 CFR part 64.11. The information collected for
private aids to navigations and markings can only be obtained from the
owners of sunken vessels. The information collection requirements
related to these aids to navigation applications are contained in 33
CFR 66.01-5 and 67.35-5.
Need: The information in these private aids to navigation
applications (CG-2554 and CG-4143) provides the Coast Guard with vital
information about private aids to navigation and is essential for safe
marine navigation. These forms are required under 33 CFR parts 66 and
67. The information is reviewed to ensure the private aid is in
compliance with current regulations. Additionally, these forms provide
the Coast Guard with information which can be distributed to the public
to advise of new, or changes to private aids to navigation. In
addition, collecting the applicant's contact information is important
because it allows the Coast Guard to contact the applicant should there
be a discrepancy or mishap involving the permitted private aid to
navigation. Certain discrepancies create hazards to navigation and must
be responded to and promptly corrected or repaired.
Forms:
<bullet> CG-2554, Private Aids to Navigation Application.
<bullet> CG-4143, Application for Class I Private Aids to
Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed Structures.
Respondents: Owners of private aids to navigation.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated annual burden has decreased
from 2,000 hours to 1,709 hours due to a decrease in the number of
respondents a year.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq.,
chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: June 10, 2024.
Kathleen Claffie,
Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
