Information Collection Request

1. Title: Applications for Private Aids to Navigation and for Class

I Private Aids to Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed

Structures.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0011.

Summary: Under the provision of 14 U.S.C. 83, the Coast Guard is

authorized to establish aids to navigation. 14 U.S.C. 83 prohibits

establishment of aids to navigation without permission of the Coast

Guard. 33 CFR 66.01-5 provides a means for private individuals to

establish privately maintained aids to navigation. Under 43 U.S.C.

1333, the Coast Guard has the authority to promulgate and enforce

regulations concerning lights and other warning devices relating to the

promotion of safety of life and property on artificial islands,

installations, and other devices on the outer continental shelf

involved in the exploration, development, removal, or transportation of

resources there from. 33 CFR 67.35-1 prescribes the type of aids to

navigation that must be installed on artificial islands and fixed

structures.

To obtain approval to establish a private aid to navigation,

applicants must submit either CG-2554 (Private Aids to Navigation

Application) or CG-4143 (Application for Class 1 Private Aids to

Navigation on Artificial Islands and Fixed Structures). The forms

collect information about the private aid to navigation (type, color,

and geographic position), charts or sketches of the desired location,

copies of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permits, and the applicant's

contact information. The information collected for the rule can only be

obtained from the owners of permitted private aids to navigation. The

information collection requirements are contained in 33 CFR 66.01-5 and

67.35-5.

Need: The information on these private aid applications (CG-2554

and CG-4143) provides the Coast Guard with vital information about

private aids to navigation and is essential for safe marine navigation.

These forms are required under 33 CFR parts 66 & 67. The information is

processed to ensure the private aid is in compliance with current

regulations. Additionally, these forms provide the Coast Guard with

information which can be distributed to the public to advise of new or

changes to regulations to private aids to navigation.

Forms: CG-2554 and CG-4143.

Respondents: Owners of private aids to navigation.

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 3,000

hours to 2,000 hours a year due to a decrease in the average annual

number of respondents.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35, as amended.

Dated: June 3, 2014.

Marshall B. Lytle,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,

Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
