ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE COAST PILOT

We are particularly interested in information about unusually strong current; prominent landmarks; objects which provide particularly good
radar return; sheltered anchorages (be explicit on direction of weather and type of bottom observed); drawbridge operation changes (e.g,
drawbridge remains permanently in open position); changes in pilot pick-up points; changes in radio frequencies monitored by pilots, marine
exchanges, harbor masters, or drawbridges.

This information is required as part of NOAA’s function to maintain marine nautical charts. The information obtained will be used to update
the Coast Pilot. Your response is voluntary and will be a matter of public record. Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to
average thirty minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the National Ocean Service (N/CS51), 1315
East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910-3282; and to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (0648-0007)
Washington, DC 20503. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subjected to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless
that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
