SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    This notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to 
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. Consistent with 
the requirements of Executive Order 13771, Reducing Regulation and 
Controlling Regulatory Costs, and Executive Order 13777, Enforcing the 
Regulatory Reform Agenda, the Coast Guard is also requesting comments 
on the extent to which this request for information could be modified 
to reduce the burden on respondents. These comments will help OIRA 
determine whether to approve the ICR referred to in this Notice.

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (85 FR 32409, May 29, 2020) 
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). We received one unrelated comment in 
response to our 60 day notice. The commenter requested back pay and 
compensation related to injustices resulting from the Higher Education 
Act of 1965 and the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which are unrelated to 
this collection of information for alteration of bridges. No changes 
have been made to the information collection request. Accordingly, no 
changes have been made to the Collection.
