SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Participation and Request for Comments
This notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to
OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard
collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information
describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden 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
[[Page 29979]]
information subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the Collection on respondents, including the use of automated

Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (90 FR 58258, December 16,
2025) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That notice elicited no
comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.
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: May 13, 2026.

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