Changes to Standard Numbering System, Vessel Identification
System, and Boating Accident Report Database
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Rule; information collection approval.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 28, 2012, the Coast Guard amended its regulations
related to numbering undocumented vessels and reporting boating
accidents. The amendment affects three collections of information and
adds to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of vessel owners
and agencies involved in issuing vessel registration and reporting
boating accidents. This notice announces that the Office of Management
and Budget approved changes to the collections of information with
control numbers 1625-0003, 1625-0070, and 1625-0108, which will now be
enforced.
DATES: The collection of information requirements under 33 CFR
173.57(c), 174.16(b), 174.17(c), and 174.19(c) will be enforced
beginning January 31, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With the exception of the revised collection
of information provisions, the Changes to Standard Numbering System,
Vessel Identification System, and Boating Accident Report Database rule
became effective on April 27, 2012. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), an agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information until the collection is approved by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Accordingly, the preamble to the
final rule stated that the Coast Guard would not enforce the collection
of information requirements in 33 CFR 173.57(c), 174.16(b), 174.17(c),
and 174.19(c) until the collection of information requests were
approved by OMB. The preamble also stated that the Coast Guard would
publish a notice in the Federal Register informing the public of OMB's
decision to approve, modify, or disapprove the collections.
The Coast Guard submitted the information collection requests to
OMB for approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. OMB approved the collections of information on December 2, 2012,
for 1625-0003, on December 16, 2012, for 1625-0108, and on December 27,
2012, for 1625-0070. The approvals for these collections of information
expire on December 31, 2015. Copies of the OMB notices of action are
available in our online docket (USCG-2003-14963) at http://www.regulations.gov.
