As a courtesy to our audience, Maritime Commons will provide a daily compilation of nationally-relevant Federal Register Notices. To provide comments for the public record, follow the Federal Register link for each individual notice. Please note, the Coast Guard cannot respond to comments on these notices outside of the Federal Register.

The Coast Guard posted a notice requesting approval of an extension of a currently approved collection for certificates of compliance, boiler/pressure vessel repairs, cargo gear records and shipping papers.

The Coast Guard is seeking comments from owners and operators of vessels.

The information collection is needed to enable the Coast Guard to fulfill its responsibilities for maritime safety.

View the Federal Register notice for further information. In particular, the Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing:

(1) The practical utility of the Collections;

(2) The accuracy of the estimated burden of the Collections;

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of information subject to the Collections;

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of the Collections on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

All comments and related material must be submitted on or before March 3, 2015.
