Information Collection Request
Title: Direct User Fees for Inspection or Examination of U.S. and
Foreign Commercial Vessels.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0074.
Summary: This collection requires the submission of identifying
information such as a vessel's name and identification number, and of
the owner's choice whether or not to pay fees for future years. A
written request to the Coast Guard is necessary.
Need: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 [Pub. L. 101-
508], which amended 46 U.S.C. 2110, requires the Coast Guard to collect
user fees from inspected vessels. To properly collect and manage these
fees, the Coast Guard must have current information on identification.
This collection helps to ensure that we get that information and manage
it efficiently.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Owners of vessels.
Frequency: Annually.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 3,086
hours to 3,527 hours a year, due to an increase in the estimated annual
number of responses.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.
Dated: December 11, 2025.
Bradley E. White,
(Acting) Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
