Background and Purpose
On April 26, 2006, the Coast Guard
published a notice (71 FR 24732) that
announced voluntary interim measures
for certain domestic vessels to account
for increased passenger and vessel
weight when determining the number of
passengers permitted. The notice
included a discussion on the typical
restriction to ‘‘reasonable operating
conditions’’ placed on the Certificate of
Inspection (COI) of vessels that are
designed only for operation on
protected waters. Under the
recommended voluntary measures for
prudent operation for all small
passenger vessels, the notice advised
that reasonable operating conditions do
not include conditions associated with
a small craft advisory as well as other
specific wind and wave conditions.
According to the National Weather
Service (NWS), a small craft advisory is
issued to alert small craft—generally
vessels less than 65 feet in length—to
sustained (more than 2 hours)
hazardous weather or sea conditions
that may be either present or forecasted.
Upon learning of such an advisory, the
NWS urges mariners to immediately
determine the reason and to monitor the
latest marine broadcast. See https://
www.weather.gov/glossary.
The April notice also discussed
increased passenger weight and
identified the means by which the Coast
Guard typically evaluates a small
passenger vessel’s stability.
This notice updates the voluntary
measures for prudent operation
published in the Federal Register on
April 26, 2006, by clarifying guidance in
the previous notice on reasonable
operating conditions and the vessels to
which that guidance applies.
The Coast Guard received numerous
comments from the public in response
to the April 26, 2006, notice.

Advisory Actions
Updated Voluntary Measures for
Prudent Operation: All Small Passenger
Vessels
The recommendation given in the
April 26, 2006, notice to owners and
operators of all small passenger vessels
certificated only for operation on
protected waters is amended as follows
to further clarify ‘‘reasonable operating
conditions’’:
(1) For passenger pontoon vessels,
voluntarily operate in ‘‘reasonable
operating conditions,’’ which do not
include:
• Wind gusts over 30 knots (35 miles
per hour);
• Waves over two feet;
• Sustained winds over 18 knots (21
miles per hour); or
• Conditions associated with a small
craft advisory.
(2) For other small passenger, nonsailing vessels certificated to operate
only on protected waters and that are
less than 65 feet, give special
consideration to the ‘‘reasonable
operating conditions’’ as set forth in
item (1) above while complying with the
requirements of 46 CFR 185.304 or
122.304.
The Coast Guard expects that small
passenger vessel owners and operators
are aware of and follow the guidelines
presented in the April 26, 2006 notice
as supplemented by this notice. The
Coast Guard is in the process of more
formally addressing stability issues
caused by increases in passenger and
vessel weight for all domestic vessels.
Dated: October 25, 2006.

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

Information Collection Requirement
TSA is seeking to renew its OMB
control number, 1652–0003, Aircraft
Operator Security. TSA has
implemented aircraft operator security
standards at 49 CFR part 1544, which
requires each aircraft operator to adopt
and implement a security program. As
part of these security programs, aircraft
operators are required to maintain and
update, as necessary, records of
compliance with the security program
provisions outlined in part 1544. This
regulation also requires aircraft
operators to make their security
programs and associated records
available for inspection by TSA to
ensure security, safety, and regulatory
compliance. Under this regulation,
aircraft operators must ensure flightcrew
members and employees with
unescorted access authority or who
perform screening functions submit to a
criminal history records check (CHRC);
to conduct the CHRC, these individuals

Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
information collection is essential to the
Department’s mission to expand
homeownership opportunities and
strengthen neighborhoods and
communities by standardizing the
process throughout the country. The
information that nonprofit organizations
must submit to be eligible to participate
as a mortgagor in HUD’s single-family
housing programs is in the form of an
application, re-certification, or other
reporting criteria. Nonprofit
organizations are viewed as significant
partners in rehabilitating and reselling
residential housing to low- and
moderate-income families, particularly
in the nation’s urban centers. Each
nonprofit organization seeking to
become approved as a mortgagor must
submit a completed Application
Package for Nonprofit Agency Approval
and an Affordable Housing Plan—
Format for Narrative to the appropriate
HUD Homeownership Center (HOC).
The Affordable Housing Plan—Format
for Narrative details the nonprofit
organization’s plan to develop
successful homeownership
opportunities for low- and moderateincome persons. Nonprofit agencies
applying for approval to provide
secondary financing only do not need to
include an Affordable Housing Plan in
their submission.
Approvals granted to nonprofit
applicants are for a period of two years.
An approval letter will be issued setting
