Request for Comments on the Renewal of a Previously Approved Information Collection: War Risk Insurance, Applications, and Related Information

Published . Updated .

MARAD invites public comments on its intention to request Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection OMB 2133- 0011 (War Risk Insurance, Applications, and Related Information) is used to obtain war risk insurance from the U.S. Government, when such insurance is unavailable on reasonable terms from the commercial market. The program is mutually beneficial to the U.S. and the ship owner, in that it assures continued flow of essential U.S. trade and provides protection for the ship owner from loss by risks of war. MARAD is required to publish this notice in the Federal Register to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
