Request for Comments on the Renewal of a Previously Approved Collection: Application for Participation in the Maritime Security Program
AGENCY:
Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY:
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) invites public comments on our intention to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew an information collection in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection, OMB 2133-0525 (Application for Participation in the Maritime Security Program) is being revised to align with current statutory authorities and industry practices. Proposed changes include instructions for electronic submission of applications, updates to statutory citations, removal of commercial references that are no longer relevant to the Maritime Security Program (such as capacity of LASH vessels), and changes to certain collected information that better reflects current maritime business practice. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
DATES:
Comments must be submitted on or before July 14, 2025.
ADDRESSES:
You may submit comments identified by Docket No. MARAD-2025-0070 through one of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Search using the above DOT docket number and follow the online instructions for submitting comments.

Instructions: All submissions must include the agency name and docket number for this rulemaking.
Note:
All comments received will be posted without change to www.regulations.gov including any personal information provided.
Comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection of information is reasonable for the Department's performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the Department to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be lessened without reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
