Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard wants to keep collecting info about barge fleeting facilities, which help manage barges on the water. They’re asking for your thoughts before they ask the government to extend this paperwork approval—no changes, just a renewal. If you’re involved with barges or just curious, you’ve got until January 30, 2026, to speak up, and this won’t cost anyone extra money or add new forms.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Daily Recordkeeping for Barge Facilities
If you operate a barge fleeting facility, you must keep records of twice-daily inspections of barge moorings and of movements of barges and hazardous cargo under 33 CFR 165.803. These records are required every day as part of routine operations.
Estimated Annual Paperwork Burden
The Coast Guard estimates the total paperwork burden for this collection remains 7,777 hours per year for respondents (operators of barge fleeting facilities). That estimated burden reflects the existing daily recordkeeping activity tied to this collection.
Renewal Without Adding New Forms or Costs
The Coast Guard is requesting an extension of approval for the existing collection 'without change' and states this renewal will not add new forms or cost anyone extra money. The public comment deadline for this renewal is January 30, 2026.
