Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (76 FR 80956, December 27,
2012) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no
comments.
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.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Owners of private aids to navigation.
Abstract: Under 14 U.S.C. 81, the Coast Guard is authorized to
establish aids to navigation. Title 14 U.S.C. section 83 prohibits
establishment of aids to navigation without permission of the Coast
Guard. Title 33 CFR section 66.01-5 provides a means for private
individuals to establish privately maintained aids to navigation. Under
43 U.S.C. 1333, the Coast Guard 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 the
artificial islands, installations, and other devices on the outer
continental shelf involved in the exploration, development, removal, or
transportation of resources therefrom. Title 33 CFR section 67.35-1
prescribes the type of aids to navigation that must
[[Page 12068]]
be installed on artificial islands and fixed structures.
To obtain approval to establish a private aid to navigation,
applicants must submit either CG Form 2554 (Private Aids to Navigation
Application) or CG Form 4143 (Application for Class 1 Private Aids to
Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed Structures). The forms
collect information about the private aid to navigation (type, color,
geographic position), as well as the applicant's contact information.
The information is stored in the Coast Guard's Integrated Aids to
Navigation System (I-ATONIS). I-ATONIS is the Coast Guard's
comprehensive database for managing information about aids to
navigation.
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 immediately corrected or repaired. I-ATONIS has user access controls
in place to govern who may view or access the information. The contact
information is only available to Coast Guard aids to navigation
personnel and contact is only initiated if the private aid to
navigation becomes discrepant or in need of repair.
Forms: CG-2554 and CG-4143.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 3,000 hours a year.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: February 20, 2012.
R.E. Day,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,
Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
