Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (91 FR 29975, May 21, 2026) 
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: Oil and Hazardous Material Pollution Prevention and Safety 
Records, Equivalents/Alternatives and Exemptions.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0095.
    Summary: The information is used by the Coast Guard to ensure that 
an oil or hazardous material requirement alternative or exemption 
provides an equivalent level of safety and protection from pollution.
    Need: Under 33 U.S. Code 1321 and Executive Order 12777 the Coast 
Guard is authorized to prescribe regulations to prevent the discharge 
of oil and hazardous substances from vessels and facilities and to 
contain such discharges. Coast Guard regulations in 33 CFR parts 154-
156 are intended to: (1) prevent or mitigate the results of an 
accidental release of bulk liquid hazardous materials being transferred 
at waterfront facilities; (2) ensure that facilities and vessels that 
use vapor control systems are in compliance with the safety standards 
developed by the Coast Guard; (3) provide equipment and operational 
requirements for facilities and vessels that transfer oil or hazardous 
materials in bulk to or from vessels with a 250 or more barrel 
capacity; and (4) provide procedures for vessel or facility operators 
who request exemption or partial exemption from the requirements of the 
pollution prevention regulations.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of bulk oil and hazardous 
materials facilities and vessels.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 1,800 
hours to 1,760 hours a year, due to a decrease in the estimated annual 
number of responses.

(Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35, as amended.)

     Dated: August 18, 2026.
