Information Collection Request
Title: Security Zones, Regulated
Navigation Areas, and Safety Zones.
OMB Control Number: 1625–0020.
Summary: The Coast Guard collects
this information only when someone
seeks a security zone, regulated
navigation area, or safety zone. It uses
the information to assess the need to
establish one of these areas.
Need: Section 70034 and 70051 of 46
U.S.C., and parts 6 and 165 of 33 CFR
give the Coast Guard Captain of the Port
(COTP) the authority to designate
security zones in the U.S. for as long as
the COTP deems necessary to prevent
damage or injury. Section 70001 of 46
U.S.C. authorizes the Coast Guard to
prescribe rules to control vessel traffic
in areas he or she deems hazardous
because of reduced visibility, adverse
weather, or vessel congestion. Section
70011 of 46 U.S.C. authorizes the Coast
Guard to establish rules to allow the
designation of safety zones where access
is limited to authorized persons,

vehicles, or vessels to protect the public
from hazardous situations.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Federal, State, and local
government agencies, owners and
operators of vessels and facilities.

Recertification of Prince William Sound
Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of recertification.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard announces
the recertification of the Prince William
Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory
Council (PWSRCAC) as an alternative
voluntary advisory group for Prince
William Sound, Alaska. This
certification allows the PWSRCAC to
monitor the activities of terminal
facilities and crude oil tankers under an
alternative composition, other than
prescribed, the Prince William Sound
Program established by the Oil Terminal
and Oil Tanker Environmental
Oversight and Monitoring Act of 1990.
DATES: This recertification is effective
for the period from March 1, 2021
through February 28, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information about this document, call or
email LT Ian McPhillips, Seventeenth
Coast Guard District (dpi), by phone at
(907) 463–2809 or email at
Ian.P.McPhillips@uscg.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background and Purpose
The Coast Guard published guidelines
on December 31, 1992 (57 FR 62600), to
assist groups seeking recertification
under the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker
Environmental Oversight and
Monitoring Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2732)
(the Act). The Coast Guard issued a
policy statement on July 7, 1993 (58 FR
E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM
15MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 48 / Monday, March 15, 2021 / Notices
36504), to clarify the factors that the
Coast Guard would be considering in
making its determination as to whether
advisory groups should be certified in
accordance with the Act, and the
procedures which the Coast Guard
would follow in meeting its certification
responsibilities under the Act. Most
recently, on September 16, 2002 (67 FR
58440), the Coast Guard changed its
policy on recertification procedures for
regional citizen’s advisory council by
requiring applicants to provide
comprehensive information every three
years. For each of the two years between
the triennial application procedures,
applicants submit a letter requesting
recertification that includes a
description of any substantive changes
to the information provided at the
previous triennial recertification.
Further, public comment is only
solicited during the triennial
comprehensive review.
The Alyeska Pipeline Service
Company pays the PWSRCAC $3.7
million annually in the form of a longterm contract. In return for this funding,
the PWSRCAC must annually show that
it ‘‘fosters the goals and purposes’’ of
OPA 90 and is ‘‘broadly representative
of the communities and interests in the
vicinity of the terminal facilities and
Prince William Sound.’’ The PWSRCAC
is an independent, nonprofit
organization founded in 1989. Though it
receives federal oversight like many
independent, nonprofit organizations, it
is not a federal agency. The PWSRCAC
is a local organization that predates the
passage of OPA 90. The existence of the
PWSRCAC was specifically recognized
in OPA 90 where it is defined as an
‘‘alternative voluntary advisory group.’’
Alyeska Pipeline Service Company
funds the PWSRCAC, and the Coast
Guard ensures the PWSRCAC operates
in a fashion that is broadly consistent
with OPA 90.

mandated under the Fire Prevention and
Control Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–498) to
provide training and education to the
Nation’s fire service and emergency
service personnel. The state-of-the-art
programs offered by the NFA serve as
models of excellence and State and local
fire service agencies rely heavily on the
curriculum to train their personnel. To
maintain the quality of these training
programs, it is critical that courses be
evaluated after students have had the
opportunity to apply the knowledge and
skills gained from their training.
Information collected from the
evaluation forms enables the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA) and NFA staff to
monitor and recommend changes in
course materials, individual subject
selection criteria, and to make
curriculum-wide reviews and
assessments.
