    Abstract: The information collection is a customer satisfaction

be published in the AMVER Bulletin and is strictly voluntary.

surveys to determine the kind and quality of services customers want

whether additional services are requested by its customers.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 150 hours annually.
    Addresses: Written comments on the DOT information collection 
request should be forwarded, within 30 days of publication, to Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
New Executive Office Building, Room 10102, Washington, DC 20503, ATTN: 
USCG Desk Officer. If you anticipate submitting substantive comments, 
but find that more than 10 days from the date of publication are needed 
to prepare them, please notify the OMB official of your intent 
immediately.
    Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collections of 
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the Department, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed information collections; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.
