Information Collection Request

Title: National Recreational Boating Survey.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0089.

Summary: The Coast Guard National Recreational Boating Survey

collects data on recreational boating participation and exposure to

hazards. The goal is for the Office of Boating Safety to draw a general

statistical profile of the U.S. recreational boating population. Of

particular importance will be statistics on the type of boats used, the

activities these boats are used for, boat operators' knowledge of

safety measures, and the duration of a typical boating day (referred to

as ``exposure''). Exposure data will be used to derive a reliable

measure of the risk associated with recreational boating that can be

used in all jurisdictions.

Need: The Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 determines the framework

of the Coast Guard recreational boating safety program. This program as

set forth in 46 U.S.C., Chapter 131, requires the Coast Guard to

``encourage greater State participation and uniformity in boating

safety efforts, and particularly to permit the States to assume a

greater share of boating safety education, assistance, and enforcement

activities.'' See 46 U.S.C. 13102. The Coast Guard Office of Boating

Safety achieves these goals by providing timely and relevant

information on boating activities that occur in each respective

jurisdiction. The boating information provided by the Coast Guard

enables each State agency to tailor and implement safety initiatives

addressing specific needs of boaters in local jurisdictions. The

primary objective of this collection is to provide the Coast Guard with

the required information in a format suitable to effectively manage the

program.

Respondents: Recreational boating participants and owners of

recreational vessels.

Frequency: Every 2 years.

[[Page 38840]]

Burden Estimate: This is a bi-ennial requirement. In the year the

survey is conducted, the burden is estimated to be 67,619 hours.

Dated: July 3, 2007.

D.T. Glenn,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,

Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
