INFOc. You are eligible to be interviewed. The United States Coast Guard needs
to know about how boats like yours are used so that they can understand how safe
recreational boating in the United States is. The interview will include questions
about what your boat is like and what you do with it. You don’t have to answer
any question you don’t want to, and you can end the interview at any time. The
interview will take about 15 minutes.
Any information you give me will be kept private, to the extent permitted by law. If you
have any questions about this survey, I will provide a telephone number for you to call to
get more information.
/IF MODE=PHONE/ This interview may be monitored or recorded.
