SUMMARY: In the final rule with this same title published February 4,
2004, we noted that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) had not
approved a collection-of-information associated with the amendments by
Sec. Sec. 67.147 and 67.179 to the collection-of-information
requirements for vessel owners and charterers applying to engage in the
coastwise trade under the lease financing provisions of 46 U.S.C.
12106(e). OMB has since approved that collection-of-information and the
portions of the rule with these requirements will become effective
September 3, 2004.
DATES: 46 CFR 67.147 and 46 CFR 67.179, as published February 4, 2004
(69 FR 5390), are effective September 3, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 67.147 of title 46 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) requires a vessel owner who seeks a coastwise
endorsement to submit a certified application and in some cases
supporting documentation. Section 67.179 of title 46 of the CFR
requires a barge owner qualified to engage in coastwise trade under the
lease-financing provisions of 46 U.S.C. 12106(e) to submit a certified
application for the coastwise operation of a barge under a demise
charter. Submitting applications is a collection-of-information under
OMB control no. 1625-0016 (Formerly 2115-0054). The final rule that
contained the provisions for applications was published in the Federal
Register on February 4, 2004 (69 FR 5398), and is available
electronically through the docket (USCG-2001-8825) Web site at http://www.dms.dot.gov.
became effective on February 4, 2004, with the
exception of Sec. 67.147 and 67.179.
As required by 44 U.S.C. 3507(d), we submitted a copy of the final
rule to OMB for its review. On July 30, 2004, after reviewing the rule,
OMB approved the collection-of-information required by this final rule
under OMB control no. 1625-0027.
Dated: August 27, 2004.
