ACTION: Previous Request for Comments This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (89 FR 25637, April 11, 2024) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That notice elicited no comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection. SUMMARY: Information Collection Request Title: Alternative Compliance for International and Inland Navigation Rules—33 CFR parts 81 through 89. OMB Control Number: 1625–0019. Summary: The information collected provides an opportunity for an owner, operator, builder, or agent of a unique vessel to present their reasons why the vessel cannot comply with existing International and Inland Navigation Rules and how alternative compliance can be achieved. If appropriate, a Certificate of Alternative Compliance is issued. Need: Certain vessels cannot comply with the International Navigation Rules (see 33 U.S.C. 1601 through 1608; 28 U.S.T. 3459, and T.I.A.S. 8587) and Inland Navigation Rules (33 U.S.C. 2071). The Coast Guard thus provides an opportunity for alternative compliance. However, it is not possible to determine whether alternative compliance is appropriate, or what kind of alternative procedures might be necessary, without this collection. Forms: None. Respondents: Vessel owners, operators, builders, and agents. Frequency: One-time application. Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 180 hours to 171 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual number of responses. Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq., chapter 35, as amended. Dated: July 1, 2024. Kathleen Claffie, Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.

The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) provides biometric compare, store, share, and analyze services to DHS and mission partners. In order to serve its mission partners, OBIM is focused on delivering accurate, timely, and high assurance biometric identity information and analysis. To achieve OBIM’s overall goals and priorities, OBIM continually works to improve biometric services by keeping up with advancing biometrics in terms of new modalities, capabilities, and safeguarding information. OBIM is constantly investigating new developments to keep up with the speed of relevance and to support DHS operational missions through the development of standards for interagency implementation of biometrics. Because OBIM is congressionally mandated to manage the operation of the department’s primary biometric repository and identification system that is used to identify and verify individuals crossing U.S. borders, it is mandatory for homeland security that the types of biometrics used, the technologies that capture them, and the way that OBIM safeguards them are advancing at a pace that keeps in front of bad actors. In the continuing appropriations act of 2013, OBIM was created from the former US–VISIT program to administer the DHS biometric database, as authorized by section 7208 of the Intelligence Reform And Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (8 U.S.C. 1365b). See Consolidated And Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013, Public Law 113–6, 127 Stat. 198 (2013). The Senate Explanatory Statement for the appropriation explains that ‘‘OBIM is the lead entity within DHS responsible for biometric identity management services through its management of the Automated Biometric Identification System, or IDENT.
