Coast Guard published the 60-day
notice (80 FR 62079, December 14,

That Notice elicited one comment.
We did receive one comment on the

more detail on the progress of an
application while it is being processed.
Although this is not a comment directed
at the collection, we do provide the
following response.

general requirements to assist with the

These guides detail the processes that
