Information Collection Request

    Title: Regattas and Marine Parades.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0008.
    Summary: 46 U.S.C. 1233 authorizes the Coast Guard to issue rules 
to promote the safety of life on navigable waters during regattas or 
marine parades. Title 33 CFR 100.15 promulgates the rules for providing 
notice of, and additional information for permitting regattas and 
marine parades (marine events) to the Coast Guard.
    Need: The Coast Guard needs to determine whether a marine event may 
present an extra or unusual hazard to the safety of human life on 
navigable waters and determine which measures are necessary to ensure 
the safety of life during the events. Sponsors must notify the Coast 
Guard of the efficient means for the Coast Guard to learn of the events 
and address environmental impacts.
    Forms: CG-4423, Application for Marine Event.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 5,500 
hours a year to 5,271hours a year due to the decrease in the number of 
respondents submitting applications online.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: December 18, 2016.
