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. These comments will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred to in this Notice.
We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments and related materials. Comments to Coast Guard or OIRA must contain the OMB Control Number of the ICR. They must also contain the docket number of this request, USCG-2024-0386, and must be received by November 4, 2024.

Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (89 FR 56398, July 9, 2024) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That notice received one unrelated comment. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.
Information Collection Request
Title: Regattas and Marine Parades.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0008.
Summary: 46 U.S.C. 70041 authorizes the Coast Guard to issue regulations to promote the safety of life on navigable waters during regattas or marine parades. Title 33 CFR 100.15 promulgates the rules for providing notice of, and additional information for permitting regattas and marine parades (marine events) to the Coast Guard.
Need: The Coast Guard needs to determine whether a marine event may present a substantial threat to the safety of human life on navigable waters and determine which measures are necessary to ensure the safety of life during the events. Sponsors must notify the Coast Guard of the efficient means for the Coast Guard to learn of the events and address environmental impacts.
Forms: CG-4423, Application for Marine Event.
Respondents: Sponsors of marine events.
Frequency: On occasion.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 3,349 hours per year. The estimated burden hours are reduced from 3,750 to 3,349 due to the decrease in marine event permit requests in 2020, the increase of respondents submitting applications online as well as increased accuracy in tracking Marine Event Permit activities in the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE) database.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq., chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: September 12, 2024.
