SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background and Purpose A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed under Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 81 and 89, has been issued for the offshore supply vessel BUMBLE BEE, O.N. 1218416. Full compliance with 72 COLREGS and the Inland Rules Act would hinder the vessel’s ability to maneuver within close proximity of offshore platforms. Due to the design of the vessel it would be difficult and impractical to build supporting structure that would put the side lights within 5.6′ from the greatest breadth of the vessel, as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(b) of the 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.05(b) of the Inland Rules Act. Compliance with the rule would cause the lights to be in a location which will be highly susceptible to damage from offshore platforms. Locating the sidelights 12′– 41⁄4″ inboard from the greatest breadth of the vessel on the pilot house will provide a shelter location for the lights and allow maneuvering within close proximity to offshore platforms. In addition the forward masthead light may be located on the top forward portion of the pilothouse 38′–21⁄4″ above the hull. Placing the forward masthead light at the height as required by Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of the 72 COLREGS PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 would result in a masthead light location highly susceptible to damage when working in close proximity to offshore platforms. Furthermore the horizontal distance between the forward and aft masthead lights may be 18′– 109⁄16″. Placing the aft masthead light at the horizontal distance from the forward masthead light as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of the 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act would result in an aft masthead light location directly over the aft cargo deck where it would interfere with loading and unloading operations. Lastly the aft anchor light may be placed 25′–15⁄16″ off centerline to the starboard side of the vessel, just forward of the stern. Placing the aft anchor light directly over the aft cargo deck would interfere with loading and unloading operations. The Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the placement of the sidelights to deviate from requirements set forth in Annex I, paragraph 3(b) of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, paragraph 84.05(b) of the Inland Rules Act. In addition the Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the vertical placement of the forward masthead light to deviate from requirements set forth in Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of 72 COLREGS. Furthermore the Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the horizontal separation of the forward and aft masthead lights to deviate from the requirements of Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act. Lastly the Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the placement of the aft anchor light to deviate from the requirements of Rule 30(a)(ii) of 72 COLREGS and Rule 30(a)(ii) of the Inland Rules Act. This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c), and 33 CFR 81.18. Dated: February 23, 2010. J.W. Johnson, Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Inspections and Investigations Branch, By Direction of the Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a valid OMB control number. The Information Collection 
Requirement (ICR) documentation is available at https://www.reginfo.gov. 
Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following 
information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to--
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.

    The information requested of aircraft operators has increased due 
to the security measures mandated by the Federal Government since 
September 11, 2001. The information TSA now collects includes 
identifying information on aircraft operators' flight crews and 
passengers. Specifically, TSA requires aircraft operators to submit the 
following information: (1) A master crew list of all flight and cabin 
crew members flying to and from the United States; (2) the flight crew 
list on a flight-by-flight basis; (3) passenger information on a 
flight-by-flight basis; (4) total amount of cargo screened; (5) total 
amount of cargo screened at 100%; and (6) total amount of cargo 
screened at 50%. Aircraft operators are required to provide this

operators must ensure that flight crew members and employees with 
unescorted access authority or who perform screening, checked baggage 
or cargo functions submit to and receive a criminal history records 
check (CHRC). As part of the CHRC process, the individual must provide 
identifying information, including fingerprints. Additionally, aircraft 
operators must maintain these records and make them available to TSA 
for inspection and copying upon request.
    TSA will continue to collect information to determine aircraft 
operator compliance with other requirements of 49 CFR part 1544. TSA 
estimates that there will be approximately 800 respondents to the 
information requirements described above requiring approximately 
1,841,130 hours per year to process.
