SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act

OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard 
collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information 
describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on 
the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection, 
and other important information describing the Collection. There is one 
ICR for each Collection.
    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether this ICR should be 
granted based on the Collection being necessary for the proper 
performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard 
would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the 
Collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the Collection; 
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of information 
subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the 
Collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. These comments 
will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred to in this 
Notice.

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The

[[Page 37465]]

Coast Guard has published the 60-day notice (82 FR 10375, February 10, 
2017) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no 
comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collections.

Information Collection Request

    Title: National Response Resource Inventory.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0102.
    Summary: The information is needed to improve the effectiveness of 
deploying response equipment in the event of an oil spill. It may also 
be used in the development of contingency plans.
    Need: Section 4202 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-
380) requires the Coast Guard to compile and maintain a comprehensive 
list of spill removal equipment in a response resource inventory (RRI). 
This collection helps fulfill that requirement.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Oil spill removal organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 1,752 
hours to 1,378 hours a year. The change in burden is due to a change in 
the methodology for calculating burden. In past ICRs we did not 
differentiate between the industry hour burden for inputting a new RRI 
submission or updating an existing RRI submission. In this ICR, we 
estimate that it takes fewer hours (i.e., 50 percent fewer hours) to 
review/update an existing RRI submission than to input a new 
submission.

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

    Dated: August 4, 2017.
