The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking public comments on their plan to extend approval for a specific information collection related to electrical engineering regulations for U.S.-flag commercial vessels. This process is part of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which ensures that paperwork burdens are necessary and reasonable. The Coast Guard invites comments on the utility and burden of this information collection to help determine if it should continue. Comments must be submitted by March 29, 2021, and will help OIRA decide on the request.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Coast Guard wants to keep getting some important papers from ships to make sure they're safe and follow rules, and they are asking people to tell them if this is too much work or still helpful. The Coast Guard says it's like asking people to show their homework so they know everything is going right.
