Manufacturers of recreational boats
and uninspected vessels are subject to Coast Guard safety standards
and regulations in 33 CFR Parts 181 and 183 and 46 CFR 25.10-3. The
regulations require the display of labels which provides safety
information to the public and evidence compliance with regulations
and identify every boat manufacturer.
Program changes are a function
of the numbers of boats manufactured annually, which can vary
significantly from year to year. Some significant factors affecting
the numbers of boats manufactured annually are the state of the
economy, interest rates, and the cost of petroleum. Note: We used
estimates of annual sales figures published by the National Marine
Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Statistical & Research
Department to estimate burdens and costs to respondents; however,
comments received during various rulemaking projects have indicated
that the Coast Guard may have underestimated annual production
figures by more than a million boats.
