Permit Application Continues Unchanged

If you are a business or person who transports municipal or commercial waste, you must continue to comply with the existing permit application paperwork.
Review Says No Added Paperwork Burden
The Coast Guard told OMB/OIRA the information collection will remain 'without change' and that OIRA's review ensures paperwork burdens are commensurate with the agency's duties and will not impose extra time or money. This is intended to confirm that extending the paperwork requirement should not increase costs for businesses and individuals who move municipal or commercial waste.
