information to determine whether the collections are necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the Department. In particular,
the Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical
utility of the collections; (2) the accuracy of the Department's
estimated burden of the collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information that is the subject of the
collections; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of collection on
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments, to DMS or OIRA, must contain the OMB Control Number of
the ICR addressed. Comments to DMS must contain the docket number of
this request, USCG 2002-13962. Comments to OIRA are best assured of
having their full effect if OIRA receives them 30 or
