Short Statement: The primary difference between the current collection and previous ones is the need to obtain precise and detailed estimations of boaters’ exposure to hazards at the national as well as state levels. These statistics will inform the USCG Boating Safety Division about the frequency of use of each recreational vessel as well as the length of time it was used during each outing. This data is critical for risk assessment and the required precision and level of details are the primary cause for the increase in burden hours.
