TITLE:  The Great Lakes Pilotage.

OMB CONTROL NUMBER:  1625-0086 

SUMMARY:  The Office of Great Lakes Pilotage is seeking a revision of
OMB’s current approval for Great Lakes Pilotage data collection
requirements for the three U.S. pilot associations it regulate.  This
revision would require continued submission of data to an electronic

Electronic Pilot Management System which will eventually replace the
manual paper submissions currently used to collect data on bridge hours,
vessel delay, vessel detention, vessel cancellation, vessel movage,
pilot travel, revenues, pilot availability, and related data.  This
revision ensures the required data is available in a timely manner and
allows immediate accessibility to data crucial from both an operational
and rate-making standpoint.  

NEED:  To comply with the statutory and regulatory requirements
respecting the rate-making and oversight functions imposed upon the
agency.

FORMS:  CG-4509, Application for Registration as United States
Registered Pilot.

RESPONDENTS:  The three U.S. pilot associations regulated by the Office
of Great Lakes Pilotage and members of the public applying to become
Great Lakes Registered Pilots.

FREQUENCY:  Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-annually, Annually,
On occasion; frequency dictated by marine traffic levels and association
staffing.

BURDEN:  The estimated burden remains at 19 hours a year.
