SUMMARY:
Under the provision of 33 U.S.C. 409, the Secretary of Homeland Security is mandated to prescribe rules and regulations for governing the marking of sunken vessels. This authority has been delegated to the Coast Guard who, in 33 CFR 64.11, requires owners of sunken vessels to promptly report information about the sunken vessel to the appropriate District Commander. Also, to establish or change ownership in a private aid to navigation, we require in 33 CFR 66.01-5 that applicants complete form CG-2554, and in 33 CFR 67.35-1 that applicants complete either CG-2554 or CG-4143.
Need: The information on these private aid applications (CG-2554 and CG-4143) provides the Coast Guard with vital information about private aids to navigation and is essential for safe marine navigation. These forms are required under 33 CFR parts 66 and 67. The information is processed to ensure the private aid is in compliance with current regulations. Additionally, these forms provide the Coast Guard with information that can be distributed to the public to advise of new, or changes to, private aids to navigation.
Respondents: Owners and operators of facilities and tank vessels, and certifying entities.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has been decreased from 3,073 hours to 3,000 hours a year.
