Barge dangerous-cargo reporting continues
If you operate barges loaded with certain dangerous cargo, the U.S. Coast Guard will continue collecting the same reporting information it currently requires under OMB Control Number 1625-0105 for inland rivers in the Coast Guard Heartland District, the Illinois Waterway, and the Great Lakes District. The Coast Guard is requesting an extension of approval "without change" and is inviting public comments before it submits the request to the Office of Management and Budget.
