Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 19 / Monday, January 29, 2018 / Notices
33 CFR 84.05(b) and (d) of the
International and Inland Navigational
Rules.
The U.S. Coast Guard certifies that
full compliance with the International
and Inland Navigational Rules would
interfere with the special functions and
intent of the vessel and would not
significantly enhance the safety of the
vessel’s operation. Due to the design of
the vessel, the superstructure is offset to
the starboard side of the vessel as far aft
as practical in order to permit the
loading of two vehicles on the forward
part of the main deck.
The Certificate of Alternative
Compliance authorizes the M/V
NORDLAND II (O.N. 1274463) to
deviate from the requirements set forth
in Annex I of the International
Navigational Rules and 33 CFR 84.05 of
the Inland Navigational Rules by
placing its required lights about a line
aft of amidships and 7 feet and 6
starboard of the vessel’s centerline.
This notice is issued under authority
of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c) and 33 CFR 81.18.
Dated: December 20, 2017.
B.S. Gilda,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Prevention Chief,
Thirteenth Coast Guard District.

Abstract: The BIA is seeking to renew
the information collection conducted
under 25 CFR 23, related to the Indian
Child Welfare Act (ICWA). BIA collects
information using a consolidated
caseload form, which tribal ICWA
program directors fill out. BIA uses the
information to determine the extent of
service needs in local Indian
communities, assess ICWA program
effectiveness, and provide date for the
annual program budget justification.
The aggregated report is not considered
confidential. This form must completed
by tribes that operate child protection
programs. Submission of this
information by Indian tribes allows BIA
to consolidate and review selected data
on Indian child welfare cases. The data
is useful on a local level, to the tribes
and tribal entities that collect it, for case
management purposes. The data are
useful on a nationwide basis for
planning and budget purposes.
Title of Collection: Indian Child
Welfare Quarterly and Annual Report.
OMB Control Number: 1076–0131.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Indian
tribes or tribal entities that are operating
programs for Indian tribes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 940 per year, on average.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 3,760 per year, on average.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Approximately 15 minutes
for Part A—ICWA Data; approximately
15 minutes for Part B—Tribal Child
Abuse and Neglect Data.
