    Respondents: Individuals or households; and Business or other for-
profit entities.

to marine navigation will result from the grant of applications for 
non-selectable transponders and shore based radionavigation aids. If 
this collection was not conducted, stations posing a hazard to marine 
navigation could be licensed inadvertently and/or long delays in the 
processing of applications could result due to the necessity for 
coordination between the FCC, Coast Guard and the applicant.
