SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Participation and Request for Comments
This notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act

[[Page 46616]]
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

Information Collection Request
Title: Small Passenger Vessels--Title 46 CFR Subchapters K and T.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0057.
Summary: The information requirements are necessary for the proper
administration and enforcement of the program on safety of commercial
vessels as it affects small passenger vessels. The requirements affect
small passenger vessels (under 100 gross tons) that carry more than 6
passengers.
Need: Under the authority of 46 U.S.C. 3305 and 3306, the Coast
Guard prescribed regulations for the design, construction, alteration,
repair and operation of small passenger vessels to secure the safety of
individuals and property on board. The Coast Guard uses the information
in this collection to ensure compliance with the requirements.
Forms
<bullet> CG-5256, U.S. Coast Guard Inspected Small Passenger Vessel
[sticker].
Basis for the Change in the Number of Forms: The Coast Guard
removed four forms from this ICR to eliminate double counting of the
responses and hour burden. Forms CG-841 (Certificate of Inspection),
CG-854 (Temporary Certificate of Inspection), CG-948 (Permit to Proceed
to Another Port for Repairs) and CG-949 (Permit to Carry Excursion
Party) are currently accounted for within ICR 1625-0032 (Vessel
Inspection Related Forms and Reporting Requirements Under Title 46 U.S.
Code). Removing the four forms from this ICR ensures that the reporting
and recordkeeping requirements are only accounted for once per
occurrence. Additionally, as the four forms have a broader use than
just small passenger vessels, retaining them in ICR 1625-0032 is
preferred as that collection accounts for all 46 U.S. Code vessels
subject to inspection.
Respondents: Owners and operators of small passenger vessels.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from
406,113 hours to 421,124 hours a year, due to an increase in the
estimated annual number of respondents.
(Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.)
Dated: September 16, 2025.

(Acting) Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
