Coast Guard Extends Vessel Inspection Form Approval Request
Published Date: 8/6/2026
Notice
Summary
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the U.S. Coast Guard intends to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), requesting an extension of its approval for the following collection of information: 1625-0002, Applications for Vessel Inspection, Waiver and Continuous Synopsis Record; without change. Our ICR describes the information we seek to collect from the public. Before submitting this ICR to OIRA, the Coast Guard is inviting comments as described below.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Estimated Annual Paperwork Burden Rise
If you are a vessel owner, operator, agent, or master who responds to these Coast Guard collections, the total estimated hour burden for this collection increased from 745 hours to 1,005 hours per year because of an increase in the estimated annual number of responses.
Consolidated Inspection Application Form
The Coast Guard updated form CG-3752 by consolidating the original form and CG-3752A into a single two-page document; you only complete page two if a U.S. vessel is under new construction or entering certificated service. The form now includes embedded hyperlinks, dropdowns, and electronic signatures while retaining manual entry.
Written Application Requirement Maintained
The collection continues to require the owner, operator, agent, or master of a vessel to apply in writing to the Coast Guard before commencement of an inspection for certification, to request a waiver from navigation and vessel inspection requirements, or to request a Continuous Synopsis Record.

The rule raises the damage cost that triggers a report from $25,000 to $75,000, saving businesses money and making rules clearer and fairer. This change cuts industry costs by over $10,000 in 10 years and aligns U.S. rules with international standards for offshore activities.

The Coast Guard plans to let the Macombs Dam Bridge between Manhattan and the Bronx stay closed from February 1 to November 30, 2027, so it can get fixed up. This means boats that usually pass under the bridge will need to find other routes during that time. If you have thoughts, you can share them by December 7, 2026, but no extra costs are expected for the public.
2026-22677, Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Wishkah River, Aberdeen, WA
Starting December 7, 2026, the Puget Sound and Pacific railroad bridge over the Wishkah River in Aberdeen, WA, will stay fully closed unless a 24-hour notice is given to open it.
